Agenda
- oAW 4.2.1 maintenance / oAW 5.0
- New Backend
- different call semantics among Xtend / Xpand
- Additional features
- New committer: Patrick
Minutes
- oAW 4.2.1 maintenance / oAW 5.0
- There will be no oAW 4.2.1 release. However, fixes and minor features can be developed within the 4.2 branch on our SF.net CVS
- All Eclipse related stuff will be developed on the Eclipse CVS
- All non-Eclipse related stuff will be stay on the SF.net CVS.
- Thus, we will have a new module oaw_v5
- Added value can be put into the oaw_integration module (e.g. oAW perspective, etc.)
- The various modules will be developed and released separately
- Each module will have a module owener. Sven will start a Wiki page with a list of modules and owners.
- naming conventions: Projects (and thus CVS modules) will be named exactly like the plug-in they contain
- New Backend
- Arno is working on a new backend, which will require some changes to the existing frontends
- Question: when / how to perform those changes?
- Peer review: Bernd and Sven (Arno sends code by email)
- Affected frontends: languages, debugger, profiler (can be implemented afterwards), tracing (not yet available publicly)
- Current status:
- Process can be started using ANT - ready this week
- Mode of operation:
- Arno to finish work
- Bernd and Sven to review work
- detach debugger
- check-in backend
- attach languages
- re-attach debugger
- different call semantics among Xtend / Xpand
- Should be restructured, but how?
- Fulfill the Java model?
- Name Mangling = one flat namespace in backend, while in Xpand (where it is important), inject mangled names
- Frontend: Xtend / Xpand call semantics stay the same
- Backend: functions can be called by their fully qualified names. However, polymorphism will then be limited to functions with the same parameters
- Additional features
- Polish for Xtext:
- Enhanced Outline (Sorting / Labelling / Icons)
- Builder to scan all Xtext files and construct an import index to facilitate importing in the editor
- Polish for Xtext:
- Patrick
- Paid by itemis, available full-time for oAW
- As always, we want to see some work before granting committer rights
- As usual, a voting will take place
Actions
