=== Minutes ===
 
=== Minutes ===
* Luna release
 
** Coordinated testing was valuable and helped find bugs that would have gone unnoticed
 
** Coordinated testing only required 1 to 2 hours of the involved people.  Good return on investment
 
  
* Launch bar
+
* Mars release
** No update
+
** 8.7 branch created.  Bugs should be committed to both cdt_8_7 and master
 +
* Standalone debugger fails to launch with M6 [http://eclip.se/467109 Bug 467109]
 +
** Marc K sees this on his machine.  Alvaro to try on his machine to confirm
 +
* RCP Standalone debugger
 +
** Separate download to install
 +
** Easy to get working
 +
** Easy way to get users to use Eclipse without any setup
 +
** Patch under review
 +
* Docker contribution
 +
** Waiting for IP approval CORRECTION after meeting: IP Approval received. Contribution to Linux Tools done for M7. Contribution to CDT being updated for RC1
 +
** Plugins in LinuxTools to support Docker containers
 +
** Patch proposed for CDT to launch a binary inside a Docker container (similar to remote debugging)
 +
** Would be an optional feature of CDT
 +
* Register Grouping and Variable Objects for registers
 +
** Mikhail has continued work on this patch but has no time currently
 +
** Trying a new registers service with a second service on top to do the grouping
 +
** What are the registers listed that don't have names given by GDB?
 +
** We can fetch the values using -data-list-register-values and the index, but we don't have a name for the user
 +
** Without a name, it does not seem valuable for a user
 +
** Can't use varObj with this also, as it needs a name
 +
* RunControl Grouping
 +
** Marc K working on reviving Dobrin's grouping patch
 +
** Final goal is to support GDB's planned ITSet grouping feature
 +
* [https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn87#Exited_processes_shown_in_the_debug_view Showing Exited processes]
 +
* Other
 +
** GDB has a format to pad hex output with 0s.  This can be useful especially for registers
 +
** Should CDT use it?  Should it be another optional format for the user to choose from?
  
* Debug tests on Hudson
+
== March 17th, 2015 ==
** Debug tests with latest GDB run as part of CDT's master nightly build and part of every Gerrit review build
+
** Nighlty jobs added to run tests with GDB version 6.6 to latest.  Not all tests pass yet and should be eventually cleaned up or some disabled to get a green light
+
** Nightly job to run tests using GDB built from its own master branch and another for GDB's maintenance branch.  This allows us to notify the GDB community of regressions that affect CDT before the GDB is released.
+
 
+
* New UI
+
** No update
+
 
+
* Multi-terminate/disconnect
+
** Elegant solution posted and reviewed
+
** JUnit tests are harder to write because we have to somehow check that we disconnected or terminated processes
+
** Manual tests could be added instead in the test document
+
 
+
* Pin & Clone for Visualizer
+
** Patch available to add a clone button to visualizer.  Waiting for review.
+
** Will allow to have multiple visualizer views which work with different filters
+
** Pin will be worked on to provide even better value for multiple visualizer views
+
 
+
* Stand-alone
+
** -help now supported
+
** params after executable are no longer swallowed by eclipse
+
** vmargs now supported
+
** better path support for binary including support for PATH variable
+
** man page to be available
+
** handling installations that use dropins, don't mix RPM install with p2 install
+

* One week before CDT Summit/EclipseCon
+
* [https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/summitecon2015 CDT Summit/CDT Day]
* Luna release
+
** Planning continues10 attendees have signed up so far. Based on last year, we expect more though
** May 9thOnly 4 weeks to go.
+
* CDT 8.6 release
* Ongoing work
+
** [https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/Manual_Testing Joint testing] to be done
** New Launch UI
+
** We hope to have it done by the end of this week
*** Progress slowed down a bit now due to other work.
+
** Everything is on track for the release
*** Too tight for Luna.  Aiming to have it available soon and have a longer soak time towards the release after Luna, in September
+
* Next CDT release to be 8.7
** Dynamic printf [http://eclip.se/400628 Bug 400628]
+
** Less than two months left until API freeze for Mars, and it does not seem anyone has plans or needs to break the API
*** Dependency on new breakpoint handling by GDB, which will be ready this week
+
** Doug [https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg28861.html posted to the list] to see if there was any concerns about that
*** New context-menu action "Add dynamic-printf..." to be added
+
* CDT for Mars
*** New patch for dynamic-printf should be posted next week.
+
** work continues for o.e.remote
** Register grouping [http://eclip.se/235747 Bug 235747]
+
** LaunchBar is being updated to follow o.e.remote new APIs
*** Long delay due to other work, but very close
+
** Autotools will need to be updated as well
*** If review goes well, could make it for Luna
+
** Still planning on removing CDT's dependency to RSE for Mars (Remote Debug launch)
** Stand-alone debugger
+
** Connections should not be part of launch configuration as connections are user-specific. Instead using an OSGI service will be better.
*** No update
+
* FindBugs
 
+
** Marc to post a patch to enable running FindBugs and PMD as a build profile.
== March 11th, 2014 ==
+
** We can have the nightly build use that profile and see if that proves valuable.
 +
** This will increase the build by about 20 minutes but provide valuable feedback
 +
** The verify job will not run FindBugs
 +
* Visual Studio support contribution
 +
** [https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg28851.html Guy B offered to contribute] a Visual Studio integration to CDT
 +
** Sounds like it can be interesting to some.
 +
** Guy was asked to open a bug to discuss the contribution process
