Your wishes for CND 7.1

[vladimirvv]

Dear CND Users,

We have reached the end of 7.0 development cycle and we hope you will enjoy the new release. If you have found critical bugs, file them and nominate for upcoming 7.0 patches.

As previous time it is a right moment for CND development team to start planning our next, after 7.0, release. We will be glad to hear from you what is your take on features, enhancements that CND is lacking and which could make your work with CND more productive.

We, CND Team, would like to ask you to review the list of enhancement requests (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=STARTED&bug_status=REOPENED&bugidtype=include&cf_bug_type=ENHANCEMENT&columnlist=priority%2Cbug_status%2Cvotes%2Cshort_desc&product=cnd) against C/C++/Fortran support and vote for those of them that you feel are important.

You are also very welcome to submit a new request (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=cnd&cf_bug_type=ENHANCEMENT) if you haven't found anything similar already filed.

Thank you very much for using our product and for your help in moving it forward.
CND Development Team.

Support for Android native development

The difference is that Android have its own makefile format, and system libraries implementation. Instead of tools like gcc, g++, ld, gdb... android uses predefined scripts. Debugging requires starting gdbserver on emulator or device. Building native application on android creates two executable files, one stripped to the bones, without any debugging information regardless of a compiler debug flag (placed in /system/bin on target platform), and another which will contain debug information, and is placed in symbols directory on the host platform. When debugging, you need to debug the second one. Project properties should include location of android source code tree, and selected toolchain.

Definitely, C++0x syntax highlighting: right now the following things are parsed as errors by cnd: enum class, lambdas, variadic templates and auto keyword

clang integration: clang was designed to make it easy for IDEs to improve and reuse their static analysis tools. I would definitely pay for such integration, if it was sold as an add-on

I am a bit sad with the lack of developments in CND. Probably a result of Oracle's strategy.

The improvements I have seen are mostly related to remote debugging and development.
But the fundamental issues remain. CND is unable to properly support large C++ projects, i.e. LOC > 50k.

Other approaches, like scitools's "Understand C++", are able to manage very large projects, but they do not use Java.
ANTLR seems a fine tool, but will it ever be able to offer similar performance?
Would it be possible to use a fully optimized C++ backend for the parsing tasks?

Requests 186765, 187567, 194166, 109495 and 109496 , are all related to performance issues.
Could the next version just deal and resolve definitively the lack of parsing performance of CND?

Thanks,
Rolando

One option that i'd love to see, (i am not sure if it currently exists, please enlighten me on this) is to only allow the debugger inside files in the project directory.

Example: I don't want my debugger to step into std namespace classes otherwise i'll have to go through alot of non-relevant chunks of code.

Thanks.

This thread elicited input on next release additions, but I'm not sure what the process is to provide this input. Are we suppose to post our suggestions as part of this thread?

One item I really, really would like to see is better support for multi-process debugging, which is documented by:

My wish for the next generation of CND is full support for wxWidgets. It may by master or template for creation a wxWidgets project

A few things can really improve C++ dev on Netbeans.
Remote Debugger doesn't work
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208582

Selection of remote upload and build path
Don't believe this is available at the moment, and need to use a work around with "system level file sharing" and then set up the path mapper.

Better documentation
Absolutely no idea what's the difference between following:
Project Properties -> Build -> Linker -> Libraries Browse -> Add Library
Project Properties -> Build -> Linker -> Libraries Browse -> Add Library
File

Basically if one tries to find an explanation of every option available in the Project Properties, a lot of things aren't available. Above is only one example.

"The C/C++ Profiling Tools were removed from the standard distribution of the IDE."

Is it possible to get this back in? Possibly enhanced. Profiling is very useful for us.

[Leonid Lenyashin]

What platform are you on? What toolchain are you using?

Hi!

Thanks for really good product!

When I use wisard to add a new class to the project there are no options to choose a namespace. So after creation i have to add namespave tag and curly brackets. IS there any possibility to add them into the generation template? Couldn't find this feature, but it would be useful.

Isn't possible have to download a bundled package with NetBeans C/C++ and mingw 4.5.2 package All-in-One?
