E) IMHO the "ElfExecutable" is incorrect
We cannot say anything about that, you should sort this out with Art
Yerkes.
Will try to contact Art directly.
X) tags like "linkerflag" or "compilerflag" are gcc/mingw specific and
should be replaced with other tags that provide the
equivalent functionality using a more abstract aproach so other
backends/compilers could benefit from it
This would really require much work and mingw is the only backend, which is currently used for compiling ReactOS. Some of the stuff, which can be compiled with MSVC, will be compiled in the IDE with the project files. But generally this sounds good, so we can think about that as a long-term plan.
Ummm , actually when you compile any ros module with the MSVC IDE you are really facing this problem. The msvc generated project files are created by the msvc backend interpreting the rbuild files. When it finds an embedded mingw specific compiler or linker flag it has to "translate" it to the msvc equivalent which is neither practical nor elegant.
Generally, if you have a great idea to improve something, don't hesitate to write a patch and file a bug in our Bugzilla for it :-)
Yep, the problem is that patches sent to bugzilla usually takes days or even weeks to be applied what leads to having to maintain multiple working copies to avoid conflicts can I request a branch to store my changes?
