Porting huge C/C++ Project to Eclipse CDT [long] [message #153482] Thu, 08 September 2005 21:14

Hi everybody,

we have a very huge, ancient C/C++ project with 10000+ files of C, C++ and
Fortran Source Code.
We are thinking about using Eclipse CDT for development and are looking
for some advice on what to take care of when moving such a project into
eclipse.

I don't have a clue on how to organize the development. At the moment, the
sources are spread over 30+ different directories. During a nightly build,
all sources in a directory are compiled and stored into a *.a Library
which then are linked together to form the executable.
When debugging, we put some source files into a "work area" where they are
compiled with debugging information (-g) so that we can step through the
code.

How can this be done with eclipse? Compiling the whole source with -g
simply is not possible, so how can we achieve that only certain files are
build that way?

More questions that arise:

1) How does eclipse handle Fortran files?
2) How can we configure the indexer to be more memory-friendly? A nightly
index run terminated with "out of memory" on a 2gig machine.
3) Does something like "checkstyle" exist (and work) for c++?

Any help is appreciated,

Ralf
