Compiler plugin

(1/3) > >>

comsytec:
We have created improved compiler plugin with new feature - BUILD CONFIGURATION -
Splits global options into multiple groups. Possible configs are - RELEASE - and - DEBUG -
Options editable via global configuration Settings > Compiler and debugger ...
Is it useful for someone ?

ollydbg:
I'm not sure how you implement this.
From my point of view, it is redundant, because I think the "build target" already have some kind of "release" or "debug" options.

comsytec:
We you this feature when building workspace with virtual targets. The -g or -O2 are then set in build configuration options not in project options. This is useful when build virtual target over workspace with many projects.

Can you be more precise? If you look at the C::B workspace its the same there w/o any extension: We have grouped targets using virtual targets there, too.

If you want to have a "release" and "debug" target across a WS what you need to do is:
- in each project create a "release" and "debug" target and setup its parameters
- in each project create a virtual target "release_build" where you select only the "release" target as member
- in each project create a virtual target "debug_build" where you select only the "debug" target as member
- add all projects to a WS
Select either "release_build" to only compile the "release" targets only or "debug_build" for the "debug" targets accordingly.

Note that you could also have another virtual target in each project named "All" which consists of both: The "release" and "debug" target. Selecting this will compile all targets in all projects for you then.

So I still fail to see whats new...?!

This menu-point does not exist in actual release any more and what's more: after the release the compiler plugin has changed a lot (merge in of xml-compiler branch).
What is the version, your changes are based on ?

By the way if you want to have debug and release settings on global compiler level, it would be possible to create a debug and release compiler and use it on project level, so you do not need to do the settings for each project/target.
