Release
This is the New & Noteworthy page for CDT 10.7 which is part of Eclipse 2022-06 Simultaneous Release
Code Analysis
| Evaluate a range of compiler builtins in constexpr contexts | A number of GCC/Clang builtins are now evaluated when occurring in a constexpr evaluation context, matching compiler behavior. These functions can now be used as template arguments and in other contexts requiring a constant without confusing CDT's code analysis. (bug 580037 and bug 579934). |
|---|
Build
| Observe command generator and applicability calculator for all MBS tool options | The CDT Managed Build System now allows a command generator and an applicability calculator to be specified for tool options of type libs and type userObjs. Extenders at the org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions extension point should note that the default command line pattern defined by org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.internal.core.Tool.DEFAULT_PATTERN now includes a ${EXTRA_FLAGS} token at the end of the line. Existing CDT managed build projects that have overridden the default command line pattern of the linker tool may need to add ${EXTRA_FLAGS} to the revised pattern. This enhancement has involved changes to the GNU makefile generator such that an objects.mk file is no-longer generated. (bug 577263). |
|---|
| Docker/Linux: Includes are now copied from the Docker image | When building using a Docker-image, include paths detected by the CDT GCC Build Output Parser- and the CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings-providers are now copied out of the docker image to the host (including symlinks). Unfortunately this is still a bit flaky as you might need to reload the project for the correct paths to be listed in the Includes list. |
|---|
| Docker/Windows: WSL-Build-Support | It is now possible to build projects that are located on the WSL filesystem. This significantly improves build performance. For this to work you need to expose the daemon via TCP (Docker-Desktop->Settings->General) and enable WSL integration (Docker-Desktop->Settings->Resources->WSL Integration). You can now copy/create your project at \\wsl$\Ubuntu\.... You should probably keep your workspace on the Windows filesystem for performance reasons.
Includes detected by the CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings-provider should be copied to the host. Unfortunately java.net.URI is not very happy with the $-sign in the WSL-Path, thus CDT GCC Build Output Parser will fail as soon as there is a project-related path included. See | bug 571112, but there are other places, too. Mounting the WSL-Path to a Drive (e.g. Z:) is not a solution either, as confuses Docker. |
|---|
Debug
| Stop auto-opening Modules view | The Modules view does not do much and in most situations is not particularly relevant to many users. Therefore starting in this release starting a debug session will no longer auto-open it. The view can still be manually opened as any normal view can, with Window -> Show View -> Other... -> Debug -> Modules, or using the Ctrl-3 shortcut and typing Modules. (bug 579759). |
|---|
| Support GDB extended-remote protocol | The GDB Hardware Debugging launch configuration type now allows selection of the GDB extended-remote protocol when supported by the configured debug server. (bug 535143). |
