Parser/Indexer/Editor

  • Arithmetic conversions for binary and unary expressions, bug 231859.
  • C++0x features supported by gcc 4.3, bug 294730.
    • Variadic templates,
    • Right angle brackets,
    • Default template arguments for function templates,
    • Rvalue references,
    • Static assertions,
    • Declared type of an expression.
  • C++0x features supported by gcc 4.4, bug 302282.
    • Extending variadic template template parameters,
    • Initializer lists,
    • Auto-typed variables,
    • New function declarator syntax .

Changes to the AST

  • Function calls:
    • The arguments of a function call are represented as IASTInitializerClause[].
    • For function calls with more than one argument the ast no longer contains an IASTExpressionList.
  • Initializers:
    • An equals initializer is represented with an IASTEqualsInitializer node.
    • The member of an IASTInitializerList is no longer wrapped in an IASTInitializerExpression.
  • Enumerations:
    • A new scope kind for enumeration scope (EScopeKind.eEnumeration) has been added.
    • IBinding getOwner() for enumerators returns an enum-scope.
  • Functional casts and compound literals:
    • Uniformly represented as ICPPASTSimpleTypeConstructorExpression.
    • The interface ICPPASTTypenameExpression is no longer used.
  • C++ and Gnu specific constants:
    • Constants have been pulled up into the following base interfaces: IASTDeclSpecifier, IASTSimpleDeclSpecifier, IBasicType.
    • IGPPASTDeclSpecifier, IGCCASTSimpleDeclSpecifier, IGPPASTSimpleDeclSpecifier and IGPPBasicType are no longer used.

New interfaces: IASTEqualsInitializer, IASTInitializerClause, ICPPASTArrayDeclarator, ICPPASTDeclarator, ICPPASTEnumerationSpecifier, ICPPASTFieldDeclarator, ICPPASTInitializerList, ICPPASTPackExpandable, ICPPASTPackExpansionExpression, ICPPASTStaticAssertDeclaration, ICPPASTTypeId, ICPPEnumeration, ICPPParameterPackType.

Enhanced interfaces: IArrayType, IASTArraySubscriptExpression, IASTBinaryExpression, IASTDeclSpecifier, IASTEqualsInitializer, IASTExpression, IASTFunctionCallExpression, IASTInitializerList, IASTPreprocessorPragmaStatement, IASTReturnStatement, IASTSimpleDeclSpecifier, IASTTranslationUnit, IASTUnaryExpression, IBasicType, ICASTDesignatedInitializer, ICNodeFactory, ICPPASTConstructorChainInitializer, ICPPASTConstructorInitializer, ICPPASTExplicitTemplateInstantiation, ICPPASTFunctionDeclarator, ICPPASTNewExpression, ICPPASTParameterDeclaration, ICPPASTReferenceOperator, ICPPASTSimpleTypeConstructorExpression, ICPPASTSimpleTypeTemplateParameter, ICPPASTTemplateDeclaration, ICPPASTTemplatedTypeTemplateParameter, ICPPASTTemplateParameter, ICPPFunction, ICPPFunctionType, ICPPNodeFactory, ICPPParameter, ICPPReferenceType, ICPPTemplateArgument, ICPPTemplateInstance, ICPPTemplateParameter, ICPPTemplateParameterMap, IEnumeration, IIndex, IIndexChangeEvent, IIndexFile, IIndexManager, IName, IncludeFileContentProvider, INodeFactory, IToken.

Build

  • Error highlighting and navigation in Build Console bug 295625
  • Saving build output into a file from CDT console, bug 294106
  • Generic user-configurable Regex Error Parser bug 109139
  • Run last make target key binding bug 69922

Debug

  • Tracepoints will be added to the CDT, with support from the DSF-GDB integration. Details and screen-shots can be found at this wiki page. The development effort is being tracked by bug 284286.
