RE: [cdt-dev] Shared Tool Options
|
Leo,
I am going to be on holidays until April
the 1st. I will try and get a proposal together in the first or 2nd week
of april. I will include the listDelimiter proposal which you mentioned
in the "[cdt-dev] Feedback on "Multiple Tool Inputs and Outputs
design" e-mail trail.
What should we use as baseline? It seems
that both proposals are independent of the development that goes on in
CDT3.0, so it should be possible to create a patch based on CDT2.1.1. I
would prefer the latter.
Best Regards
-- Lars

Hi Lars,
- One which allows to retrieve and set
up default values of the new optionCategory and option elements before
they are shown. The reason for this is that the user may manually change
the build macros using the build macro UI.
I think that this is
Option element functionality. Currently an Option can have a “static”
default value. One of the “below the line” MBS requirements is:
1. An
option can provide a method to be called to return its default value. This
supports the case where the default value of the option changes based upon
the value of another option(s) or some other environment setting.
As with other currently “below
the line” functionality, if you (or your team) is willing to design and
implement this, we could get it in 3.0.
Regards,
Leo

Leo,
this looks like a workable approach.

For a clean solution we may need two call-backs:
- One which allows to retrieve and set
up default values of the new optionCategory and option elements before
they are shown. The reason for this is that the user may manually change
the build macros using th build macro UI.
- One which allows to query the values
of the new optionCategory and option elements after they have been
set (as you proposed).
They could
of course be implemented as one entry in the MBS grammar. The difficulty
is to decide when the callbacks are called.
Whether your proposal meets our requirement would depend on the detailed
design of the Build Macros proposal. There would need to be an API which
allows setting and querying of Build Macros.

I will discuss this at Symbian this week and will come back to you later
this week.

| [cdt-dev] Shared Tool Options |

Hi Lars,
I've been thinking about your requirement below and have a
counter-proposal.
1.1 Shared Tool Options
A number of Symbian tools require that identical options are passed into
each individual tool. For example the resource compiler, AIF file
generator and compiler require a set of shared -D and -I options.
Platform security options are another example. Here the user has to
choose from a global set of security attributes (e.g. CapabilityAll)
which map onto different options for different tools (e.g. -Security=xyz
for the resource compiler, -DSECURITY=0xabc for the compiler, etc.). If
inconsistent options are passed to the tools, the resulting binary will
not work correctly or may fail to build.
MBS supports defining options per tool only. This means that shared
options have to be replicated in different tools and that the user has
to keep them in sync manually.
My idea is allow OptionCategory and Option elements to be children of
the
ToolChain element. ToolChain categories would display in the Tool
Settings page at the top level, that is, at the same level as the Tools.
The values set in these options would not be used in command line
generation - the command, commandFalse, and resourceFilter attributes
would be ignored.
The tool-integration would be able to retrieve the option values from
MBS callbacks.
For your usage, you would use build macros in the options to be set from
the values of the ToolChain options. The build macros design will
be
coming soon. A tool-integration will be able to define build macros
and
their values. You would set your build macro values from your
tool-chain options.
If you agree that this would meet your requirement, would you be willing
to submit a design for supporting OptionCategory and Option children of
ToolChain elements, and implement the design for CDT 3.0?
Thanks,
Leo
