I'll file an enhancement but I thought the idea of doing objc dev outside of CDT HEAD was to avoid any objc references until such time as it had built up momentum?
A bigger concern, then, is what of the PDOM code which is all .internal. (including some interfaces). Aren't the ILinkage and PDOM fairly coupled? They appeared to be from my cursorary glancing.

You cannot add a new linkage kind from outside of
CDT. The very basic reason for that is that otherwise we cannot maintain unique
integer constants for linkages. If you need one for ObjectiveC, we'll add it to
ILinkage.
Please open an enhancement request for
it.
ILinkage is no longer marked as experimental in 6.0. I
don't expect AbstractCLikeLanguage to change either.
If you use it, we can also make it non-experimental (just
open an enhancement request).

I'm starting to play around with the internals of CDT, and I've
come across the following whilst creating a subclass of AbstractCLikeLanguage
and the ILinkage that's referred to from it:
AbstractCLikeLanguage:
*
<strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong>.
This class or
interface has been
added as
*
part of a work in
progress. There is no guarantee
that this API
will work or
*
that it will
remain the same.
Please do not
use this API
without consulting
*
with the CDT
team.
ILinkage.java
/**
*
Represents a linkage
in the
AST or
the index.
*
<strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong>.

interface has been

*

4.0

This seems to be defined as the set {c,cpp,fortran} in the interface (and
the implementing class is internal). How would I go about setting up a name
for Objective-C, or can I simply return 'none' at this point? I'm somewhat
playing in the dark to get a feel of how it fits together right now, but given
that it had these in the comments I figured I'd do the honours. However, given
that CDT is working on 5.1 (at least, that's the version it shows in Eclipse
right now; 5.1.0.200902xxxx - will that be bumped to 6.0 later?) I was
wondering how experimental these things are anyway ...
