*CDT Summit/EclipseCon
+
* CDT Summit/CDT Day
* Ongoing work
+
** CDT Summit wiki.  Please sign up.
** New Launch UI
+
** CDT Day planned. 7 talks on different topics related to CDT
*** Working solution available!
+
* CDT 8.6 anything missing?
*** Ready to discuss some implementation detail
+
** Nothing major planned for the last week
*** Specific to CDT at the moment but could be generalized
+
* Register grouping committed. https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn86#Register_grouping
*** Main advantage is the support for multi-process
+
** VarObjects for Registers would be interesting.
** Trace Control Enhancements [https://bugs.eclipse.org/390827 Bug 390827]
+
** If time allows, Mikhail may have a look again.
*** Feature committed! See [https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn84#Trace_Control_view_enhancements New and Noteworthy] for details.
+
* All Debug JUnit tests running on HIPP using all of GDB >= 7.1
*** It would be nice to move some of the new widgets to a common area such as o.e.cdt.debug.ui
+
** Local tests all pass: https://hudson.eclipse.org/cdt/job/debug-tests-master-all-gdb-versions/
*** Was not tested on Windows. If someone can try it and report, that would be useful
+
**  Remote tests down to 7 failures: https://hudson.eclipse.org/cdt/job/debug-remote-tests-master-all-gdb-versions/
** Setting Hardware Breakpoint from the UI [http://eclip.se/332993 Bug 332993]
+
* Older GDB support
*** new bug opened to allow to change bp type at creation or after (based on Mikhail's work) [http://eclip.se/427898 Bug 427898]
+
** In some cases, probably with more recent GCCs, GDB 7.0 cannot step over printf (and maybe other issues)
*** patch posted in bugzilla but will be posted to Gerrit
+
** We discussed and approved only supporting GDB 7.1 and higher
*** do we need the first proposal too? It's value is to set a default type.  Let's focus on first contribution and then discuss the original one.
+
** We won't remove the code supporting older GDBs but we won't work on making those work
** Show values returned from function calls [http://eclip.se/341731 Bug 341731]
+
** We will announce in N&N and make it part of the 8.6 review record
*** Reviewed by Marc-Andre and updated accordingly
+
* SWTBot testing for Debug/CDT https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/35988/
** Dynamic Printf [https://eclip.se/400268 Bug 400268]
+
** Proof of concept that provides one test.
*** Planned for Luna.
+
** Marc K to review and commit very soon to get the infrastructure in
*** GDB 7.7 much more stable.  Still some issue but not blocking
+
* LaunchBar will be part of Mars
*** Will be demoed at CDT Summit
+
** Doug will work on a CDT remote launch using o.e.remote
*** Patch is large but mostly a copy of Tracepoints.  Important changes are much smaller.
+
** Doug got request to have a UI for multiple launches working with the launch bar
** Multicore Visualizer with Parallella
+
* Launch UI
*** gdb stub for Parallella is being updated to provide CDT with the necessary information
+
** Mikhail has started work on it again
*** Will be demoed at EclipseCon
+
** Stand-alone CDT debugger
+
*** Customize perspective support added (needed for Reverse Debug and Tracepoints)
+
*** Documentation has been updated
+
*** Will be demoed at CDT Summit
+
*** Was presented to GDB community and was well received, with more comments expected

*CDT Summit/EclipseCon
+
** Marc K to send an email to list to remind people so that others can make plan
+
 
+
* Ongoing work
+
** New Launch UI
+
*** Progress continues
+
*** Single new launch config type allowing to start multiple processes together.  It supports both starting a new process and attaching to one.  It supports both local and remote
+
*** Difficulty in supporting older GDB versions.  Currently based on 7.2 and higher
+
*** Issue with short lived processes that don't appear in the view
+
*** When to use 'remote' or 'extended-remote'
+
** Environment Variables for Remote launch [https://bugs.eclipse.org/424436 Bug 424436]
+
*** Will allow to specify env vars when launching a remote application
+
*** Some limitations due to TM/RSE that we will have to deal with
+
** Trace Control Enhancements [https://bugs.eclipse.org/390827 Bug 390827]
+
*** Review on-going. Meeting will held Jan 14th to discuss comments of review.  Contact Marc Khouzam to join.
+
** Show values returned from function calls [https://bugs.eclipse.org/341731 Bug 341731]
+
** Mutlicore Visualizer with Parallella
+
*** New plugin extending multicore visualizer
+
*** both canvas and model have been updated for the Parallella
+
** Multi-process memory views [https://eclip.se/250323 Bug 250323]
+
*** Patch accepted, will be committed today
+
** Dynamic Printf [https://eclip.se/400268 Bug 400268]
+
** Stand-alone CDT debugger
+
*** Marc K has tried it out.  Looks great but a couple of comments communicated to Jeff
+
*** Start script will be simplified
+
*** "Customize perspective..." menu will be added
+
*** Will be shown at the CDT Summit
+
*** Some flags will be added to the command-line to specify launch option
+
*** No need to create a project or a launch config.
+
*** Should we still show the launch config stuff?  Yes, but most won't even look at it.
+
*** Improvement over Insight (amongst others) of supporting the indexer through a build log
+
*** Planned for Luna
+
*** Need to discuss with Doug about how to make this available
