Hi DD and TM
teams,
Wind
River has completed the internal
sign-off for our code contributions to open source. The signoffs cover
the following technical areas in our commercial product (Wind River Workbench,
aka WB):
- Target
Manager
- Debug Model
Implementation
- Debug Views (memory, registers,
expressions/watch, locals)
- Terminal
View
- C/C++ Editor, CView, New Static
Analysis Views (see the CDT 4.0 project plan: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CDT/planning/4.0)
Markus and Toni will comment on
the CDT enhancements on cdt-dev. I don’t want to speak for
them.
Martin can comment on his specific
plans for TM when he returns from vacation.
For DD, our plans are as
follows:
Debug Model Implementation:
Pawel and Ted are refactoring our existing code base to fit into the 3.2 EDMI,
as you know. This is a very extensive task, and we really don’t want to
be closed about the effort, so they are working a reduced subset of
functionality that they will present at our August DD meeting. The goal
is to open this development to the community for participation, comment,
design changes, etc. While it’s possible to dump our current technology
into open source, it doesn’t fit well with the new EDMI, since we wrote it
before Darin’s extensive improvements.
Customized Debug Views: Our
commercial product has customized versions of all of the views listed
above. With the flexible hierarchy, our intention is simply to migrate
the capabilities into the platform debug views as we have already been
discussing in DD…only now it’s officially sanctioned.
;)
Terminal View: We will clean
up this code base and then submit it for Eclipse IP review. We then need
to plan how the console technology subgroup can use this view. TM also
needs some of the capabilities (telnet support), so we need to work with TM on
which parts of this code live in which project.
