XML based compilers

[Alpha]

I tried your patch but I obtain a compilation error : [...]

I wonder why it worked for me then...
Try this:

With this last patch, it works  (at least on the string I mentioned in my previous post).
Now, my job is : extract all "name" strings from .xml file and add them in my .po file.
Thanks

This is OT but anyway:
Do you really think localizating the compiler flags is a good idea? I mean, if you learn c/c++ or programming in general, you will be forced to learn and use english. If now a noob, who want learn to code, uses a localized IDE (only the compiler flags here) needs help, he will find it with more difficulties, because of the localization. GCC introduced localization a few releases back. I used it 2 times, and tried then to remove it, because i didn't could find any help in my language...
In short: Is compiler specific translation a goof idea?

greetings

[gd_on]

This is the text accompanying and explaining the flag which is translated, not the flag itself!
So, I think that translating this text may help, a noob or a standard (experienced) user.
Myself, when I doubt on a translation (even on mine  ), I revert C::B to English, and can see the "official" meaning. Just one or two click and a C::B restart !
I know that many people prefer to use C::B in English and not in their native language. This is their choice.
Myself, I generally prefer to see most of the interface in French, even if in English I understand generally. This is my choice, because I'm more comfortable then.
Both choices have their advantages and disadvantages.

So, yes I like a localized IDE . And you are not obliged to use it.

Okay, I will commit soon, if no further problems are identified.

Now, my job is : extract all "name" strings from .xml file and add them in my .po file.

Maybe a script could extract the strings?  It would likely be easier in the long run, for when the .xml files are updated.

Maybe a script could extract the strings? 

It's exactly what I do. I have updated my extracting tool and testing it.
The previous version can be found in the forum (links in Code::Blocks' translation posts).
I have added those lines,

Code

echo ""
echo "************************************************"
echo "* extracting strings from .xml compilers files *"
echo "************************************************"
echo ""
find ../plugins/compilergcc/resources/compilers | grep -F .xml | xargs grep -F "CodeBlocks_compiler name" > src_xml.cpp 2>> log.txt
find ../plugins/compilergcc/resources/compilers | grep -F .xml | xargs grep -F "Option name" >>  src_xml.cpp 2>> log.txt
find ../plugins/compilergcc/resources/compilers | grep -F .xml | xargs grep -F "checkMessage" >> src_xml.cpp 2>> log.txt
grep -v mabi src_xml.cpp | grep -v mno | grep -v apcs | grep -v mtpcs | grep -v mshed | grep -v msoft | grep -v mhard | grep -v mfpe | grep -v msched | grep -v mlong | grep -v mpic | grep -v mcirrus | grep -v mcalle | grep -v mpoke | grep -v mwords > src_xml2.cpp
xgettext -a -o xml.pot src_xml2.cpp
find xml.pot >> files.txt

but I think it could be improved because it still extract some lines that do not need translation.

An afterthought:

Looking back on this, I think I made a major design failure.  Moving default settings and flags to .xml I still believe was a good choice, however, as soon as I started trying to do things like <if platform="windows"> ... </if>, it became a hack on the purpose of XML.  Logic does not belong at all in a data file.  This should have been either left in code, or (better) migrated to a script.

I guess this is another item to add to my todo list, and a lesson on planning ahead  .

Sorry to post on this old thread. I acknowledged any CodeBlocks developers' works but I have to say your XML based compiler really caused me to suffer for almost a whole day. I don't want to be rude but I had to say you did make a completely design failure and I do not think XML was a good choice for anything. Sorry.

+1 here. Squirrel would have been the better choice for defining compiler configurations, but now it is already too late.
If you want to design the same system based on squirrel scripts I could help you with the review and guidance

Thank you but I'm only a high school teacher and I don't have the skills needed to do professional coding. I'm not originally teach programming either but because the school's shortage of teacher I attended a short course and started to teach programming alongside with my own elementary algebra. I only know an outdated subset of C++98 and so do my students but recently some of the curious ones started playing with C++11. I can't help with this, sorry.
