Minutes

• CDT 9.2.1
  • Now updating target file to pull-in most recent dependencies as RCs from other projects are made available.
  • RC4 build published yesterday. Final release on March 23rd, 2017
• CDT 9.3
  • Jeff to add container build support to CDT
    • The goal is to build, run and debug using Container
    • Support for windows as well as Linux
    • Intel is also looking into that
• Automated build status
  • New HIPP is much better because we are almost alone on it
  • Marc-Andre has also reduced the likely hood of a deadlock we are getting in the tests. It is not fixed, but happens less often.
  • Jonah improved the DSF-GDB test to do better cleanup and fix the failures
  • Some tests still failing intermittently in CDT core. Marc-Andre will have a look when time permits
• New build, CMake, UI
  • There is no documentation to know how to use the new build system
  • Looking a QMake and CMake implementation, CMake in particular, would provide example
• ClangD
  • Tool started at LLVM foundation to support LSP using Clang
  • Marc-Andre is getting involved with some people from Google on this effort
  • Some progress already happening, such as "fix-it" support
  • Code completion being worked on by Marc-Andre using Eclipse and LSP4E connecting to ClangD
  • LLVM conference in Germany in March where there will be a BOF on ClangD
• Breakpoint improvements
  • Fix the fact that invalid address breakpoint would prevent a debug session from running
• CDT newsletter
  • Deadline 6th of April
  • Topics
    • Doug: TBD about something user-facing
    • Tracy: Linker Editor
    • Marc-Andre: LSP using ClangD
    • Jeff: Docker support
    • Nathan: C++ language support
    • Need something on Debug. Marc K cannot do it. Tracy may ask the list for other volunteers.
