Minutes
- CDT 9.2.1 one month away. RC1 on Feb 13th 2017
- Language Server Protocol
- Decoupling of language features from IDE
- Work had started building a prototype server using libClang but will be refocused on ClandD
- LLVM community has very recently announced their plan of doing exactly that through the new ClangD project
- LLVM conference in Germany on March 27-28. Marc-Andre will attend and is trying to organize a BOF on ClangD
- No more source features
- All source code automatically included in all builds.
- If a new feature is created, it will automatically have its source included
- CDT Newsletter due April 6th
- Previous CDT one: https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2013/october/
- Topics
- Tracy: Maybe Linker Editor
- Trace Compass: Tracy will touch base with them
- Marc-Andre: LSP using ClangD
- Jeff: Docker support
- William: To be confirmed
- C++ language support: Tracy to contact Nathan
- Trace Compass webinar will be held on Feb 22nd, 2017
- Breakpoints improvements
- Breakpoints are still quite limiting, especially for multi-core
- When GDB fails to install a breakpoint during launch, the whole launch failed miserably. Mikhail has a patch that at least informs the user of the problem; however gdb 7.11 does not behave well in this case; 7.12 is better but the error message is not descriptive enough.
- Mikhail to open GDB bugs about it
- Let's move forward with Mikhail's patch to at least improve things. Mikhail to add Jonah as reviewer to get input.
- Other improvements need to be expressed to know what work can be done.
- "Show details" is something we could do if we reach a consensus.
- We will keep track of the situation and progress in the monthly call
- Eclipse 4.7 needs a more modern glibc than what RHEL 6 supports. Is this a problem to others? Is there a workaround?
- There are plans to define a "software collection" for RHEL 6 to support Eclipse Oxygen
- "Software collections" allow to install a group of packages that are needed to run specific newer tools in a contained environment
- The "sofware collection" for Oxygen will only be done _after_ Oxygen is released, because it contains Eclipse Oxygen itself
- Builds timing out
- Timeout set to 2h30 but still too slow
- It seems it is related to too many builds on the same HIPP
- Some core tests hang forever. Apparently there is a deadlock in the indexer triggered by the tests.
- First step would be to try to fix the deadlock
- If we can't, we could attempt to timeout the tests and abort the build when we "detect" the deadlock.
- We should also work with the web masters to improve the performance
- New build, CMake, UI
- Doug was ill and couldn't join. We'll keep this on the agenda for next month.
