Project View - basic requirements

[bombasticbob]

'Project view' will need a few things in order to be useful

• Two basic view styles
  • Project 'Tree' View, with multi-tab view in left side of split window, multi-tab edit on right
    • a menu or other means is needed to switch to 'editor' view easily (in lieu of un-dock drag)
  • 'Editor' view with multi-tab view for editor in main window, separate 'tool' window for tree views
    • seprate 'tool' window will need a button of some kind to switch to 'Tree' view
• Project property sheet invoked via menu and hot-key
• Ability to add/remove files or move between categories
• Ability to specify output directories
• per-build-type settings
  • Standard build types of 'debug' and 'release' on native platform
  • Custom build types (including platforms)
    • ability to specify compiler, linker, additional tools, command line options, etc.
• Integrated debugger
  • default uses gdb
    • possible high level scripted interface for "other things"
    • possible kgdb (or similar debugger) interface for kernel development
  • On breakpoint, MUST unlock the GUI display
    • some kind of intelligent method of determining that this is necessary?
    • re-lock when resuming application?
  • watch lists, debugger command window, conditional breakpoints
    • initially display these in one or more separate toolboxes that show up in debug mode
    • when possible, handle this with some kind of splitter similar to project view, possibly horizontal OR vertical
  • breakpoint editor with 'clear all' and the ability to save/restore the list
