Release Notes

Build

GNU PE64 Windows Parser

A new binary parser allows projects using a MinGW GCC toolchain to make use of core CDT GNU tool support in the same manner as projects using a Linux GCC toolchain. For example, users may now invoke GNU objdump by double-clicking on a Windows PE64 executable file. New projects using a MinGW GCC toolchain are now configured to use the GNU PE64 Windows Parser by default. Existing projects may be configured to use the new parser via the Binary Parsers list on the C/C++ Build > Settings project properties page:

Cross GCC toolchain uses GNU Elf Parser

Enhancements to core CDT GNU tool support accommodate projects using a Cross GCC toolchain in the same manner as projects using a Linux GCC toolchain. For example, users may now invoke a build of GNU objdump provided by the configured toolchain by double-clicking on an ELF executable file. The correct GNU tool prefix (eg arm-none-eabi-) is provided by a CDT Build Variable named gnu_tool_prefix when a project is configured to use the GNU Elf Parser. New projects using a Cross GCC toolchain are now configured to use this binary parser by default. Existing projects may be configured to use the GNU Elf Parser via the Binary Parsers list on the C/C++ Build > Settings project properties page.

API Changes, current and planned

Please see CHANGELOG-API for details on the breaking API changes in this release as well as future planned API changes.

FinalLaunchSequence.stepRemoteConnection() and FinalLaunchSequence.stepAttachRemoteToDebugger() are deprecated

The remote connection for attach launch will be moved in the implementation of IGDBProcesses.attachDebuggerToProcess()

New class AbstractGnuToolPrefixMacro

A new abstract class assists in the integration of managed build GNU toolchain extensions with core CDT GNU tool support. Extenders may sub-class AbstractGnuToolPrefixMacro to describe the GNU tool prefix (eg arm-none-eabi-) used by their toolchain. The resulting build macro may be associated with a managed build GNU toolchain extension using an IConfigurationBuildMacroSupplier to ensure that the correct prefix is used when invoking GNU tools such as objdump. Refer to org.eclipse.cdt.internal.build.crossgcc.CrossBuildMacroSupplier for a usage example.
