This is an FYI for those who are interested. For those
who don’t know me, I’m a CDT committer and work at Intel. Intel
is very interested in integrating into Photran as well as CDT, so I’m interested
in making CDT better suited for Fortran (and other language) support. I’ve
submitted 2 proposals in bugzilla 115935
pertaining to the CDT “project model”. The primary goals of
the proposals are:
- To separate
the parts of the current CDT project model which are programming language
specific from those that are not, and to begin the process of defining a “compiled
language” infrastructure (named *DT is the paper).
- To allow tool
integrators to integrate more easily and more completely into this
infrastructure. This includes the ability to integrate complete tool-chains,
individual tools, external libraries, etc.
- To set the
stage for increasing CDT/FDT/*DT usability by defining a more usable
“project model”.
Your feedback is encouraged. You’ll notice
that some of my suggestions for the multi-language UI are different than the
current Photran proposal for a “Make Project” and “Make
Perspective”.
