Purpose

• Understand the CDT tool-chain integration mechanism• Learn how to make a deep integration of a custom

tool-chain into the CDT

Tools integration in CDT

• Multi-language support C/C++ IDE becomes Compiled Languages IDE Photran based on CDT

• Compilers co-existence Can easily switch from gcc to another integrated compiler Per-folder/file settings

• Debuggers Potentially other debuggers than gdb can be integrated as

well

• Builders GNU Make and Internal builder are available by default CDT is open for others!

Way to integrate

• Compiler’s example: Adding Language entry Build options definitions in MBS Information on built-in symbols and includes Build environment Error parser

Tool-chain integration mechanism• Build System customization

Build behavior definition Build behavior and logic for “Managed” Builds Build command for “Standard” Builds

Build Settings UI for “Managed” builds Integration in the New Project Wizard

• Providing settings to other parts of the CDT Is a profile for holding settings: Built-in Includes and Symbols, Build Environment,

Error parsers, Binary parsers Defined by the tool-chain integrator Customizable for specific project Settings get applied when the toolchain is assigned to the project

On project creation On tool-chain substitution/modification
