I would like Xcode 3 to have a published plugin architecture, for
compiling and debugging, among other things. (The Apple-provided
languages should use it, so that they can be used as examples.)
In particular, I want support for 2 things: one would be to use other
versions of GCC/GNU to target other architectures not Mac (for
example, Atmel AVR development).
The other would be to support languages like D (and better support
for Java). D is similar to Java in that it has a single combined
declaration/definition file, and it can write its objects out into a
file system hierarchy (so two object files can have the same name,
but be in different locations). While I have a working D plugin now,
I still don't know how to get it to do this (and other things), and I
still can't use the debugger (even though GDC is really just a D
front-end on top of Apple's GCC, and there is a patch for Apple's gdb
to support D).
Unfortunately, I cannot afford $500 just to take a sneak peek at
Xcode 3, so I don't know how well it already addresses these needs.
