Agenda

• Build
  • Doug revealing secrets of Scanner Discovery
  • Current architecture of build/project configuration
  • Common problems with custom integration
  • Fixing the scalability issues.
  • Tool/toolchain versioning
  • Future of cdt build
• Debug - General
  • Launch
    • C/C++ Application or C/C++ Local Application
• Debug - DSF-GDB
  • architecture
  • how gdb integration fits in there
  • demo for tracepoints and reverse debugging
  • maybe somebody can talk about how they gdb based custom integration
  • maybe discuss commonly asked questions and problems
  • timeouts
• Debug - EDC (Eclipse Debugger for C/C++)
  • Overview
  • Architecture
    • Tour of Services
    • Use of TCF
  • Platform support cookbook
  • Demo
  • Plans for CDT 8.0
• Debug - TCF
  • Productizing the TCF reference agent
  • Eclipse integration for agent
• Debug - Multi-core brainstorm
  • Wanted features. A wiki can be found here and can be used to add ideas.
  • Multi-context wiki page focused on improving the workflow of simultaneous debugging of multiple cores, processes, threads.
  • Different Debug View layouts
    • Grouped by processes ((process(cores)->thread(core)->frame). This is the current layout
    • Grouped by cores at the top-level (core->process->thread->frame)
    • Grouped by cores at the top-level using labels (core->thread(process)->frame)
    • Grouped by cores below processes (process->core->thread->frame)
  • New views
    • Graphical core view - Diagram showing all cores and info about what is running on them, as well as actions that can be performed on the cores
    • Processes view - Optionally grouped by cores, this view would show processes available for debugging
  • Multi-core debug for specific multi-core programing model
  • Operations for multi-core debugging
    • Resuming an entire core
    • Suspending an entire core
    • Stepping an entire core (instruction stepping, source-stepping)
    • Re-allocation of threads from one core to one or more others
    • Locking of a core (move all threads out and 'disable' the core)
    • ...
  • Usecases - What are the users trying to accomplish?
  • Way forward
    • Working group
    • Regular meetings
• Profiling
  • Framework for gprof, Oprofile, perf, etc.
• Tracing
  • Linux tracing toolkit analysis and views
  • User space tracing for Linux and other systems
  • Instruction level tracing and other use cases with the new binary format
  • Multi-core tracing
    • Traces synchronization
    • Dependency Analysis
    • Brainstorming!
• Making the user-experience better
  • Documentation
  • Installation
  • Toolchains
  • Other user complaints
• New in 7.0
  • maybe interesting to know in details what was done in CDT 7.0 (core) and cdt based tools, PTP, Linux Tools
• Sequoyah project
  • History of the project, relationship to Pulsar, TmL, and MTJ
  • Roadmap/features overview
  • Build and debug support for Android
