Documentation for C::B configuration

(1/1)

mirai:
Is there a decent documentation for the contents of C::B configuration *.ini files, especially CDATA sections, other than C::B source code?

ollydbg:
I haven't see such document.

The C::B configuration file is normally xxxxxx.conf file, and it is actually a XML file. So, read the CDATA is just reading a section from XML file.

mirai:
Sure, it's an XML default.conf file, right.
I've been looking for a stored compiler/debugger etc. configuration, including such for user-defined tools. Is it even there? Am I looking at a wrong place?

At first glance CDATA contents look like a key=value storage with semicolon separators and for some reason also 2nd kind of separators '|' (sub-section?).
Well, if that's all, we can live with that, but what is the meaning and constraints of variables packed inside these records?

ollydbg:
If you search the "CDATA" keyword in C::B's source code, I see there are many option_xxx.xml inside the compilergcc plugin.

There "CDATA" just define many Regular expression to catch the specific text patter returned from the many different kinds of compiler command line.

I don't see there are many key=value storage in the "CDATA". I mean "CDATA" can generally store text strings, see: What does <![CDATA[]]> in XML mean? - Stack Overflow
