Probably the most common scenario we see the CDT used today is where project
teams integrate it into an existing code base. These code bases are often
large and mainly unstructured. As a test environment the CDT development team
uses large open source projects such as Mozilla and Open Office to help ensure
the CDT is flexible and scalable enough to handle large legacy projects. This
talk walks through some of the challenges the CDT faces when applied to such
projects and gives tips on how to set up the CDT to overcome these challenges.
I am the project lead for the Eclipse CDT project where I have been a committer now since it's beginnings in July 2002, first as an employee of Rational which was later purchased by IBM. I am now a member of QNX's tools team where I am a senior developer. My main interests are in programming languages, including modeling languages, and parsing and translation.
