Hi all,
I've isolated a small subset of the "cnd" branch that restores support
for C/C++ projects [1], this is, you can open/create/compile/run C/C++
projects the same way as in NetBeans 8.X.
This subset does not contain the C/C++ editor (nor debugger, completion,
etc.), which would require recreating the quite-old ANTLR grammars (and
build/maintain a C preprocessor). When one opens a C/C++ file there's
syntax highlighting, but the IDE complains because there's no language
registered for "text/x-c++".
I was thinking we could:
a) CPPLITE: Use the editors/completion/etc. from the cpplite branch
(note these editors are registered for "text/X-c++", not "text/x-c++"),
that is backed by a C/C++ LSP Server (clangd, for instance).
b) Trimmed-CND: Try to use the C/C++ projects from this small subset of
"cnd" to generate a compilation database for cpplite (C/C++ projects in
cnd should have all information required to generate these compilation
databases).
As far as I understand, with this we could recover the C/C++ support for
Apache NetBeans but with a more powerful/mainteinable LSP backed
completion, right?
Cheers,
Antonio

(not sure cnd.kit should be there? Maybe cpplite.kit is good enough?)
