[Qt-creator] qbs project file parser

[sanjay chopra]

Hi,

I am thinking of writing a plugin for qtcreator which shows assembly output
of ource at the time of editing(like godbolt.org), I am using qbs as build
system. Qbs can have different build setting(compiler flags) for each
source file, is there any library for parsing qbs file and read settings
(compiler flags) for a source file in project ?​

You should maybe ask this question on QtCreator mailing list, if it's a QtC
plugin, you shouldn't be Qbs specific.
Surely QtC offers you all the information you need.
Now showing the assembler for an isolated, small piece of code is way
easier than "on the fly" in a C++ project.

Any way interesting.

If it's for a QtC plugin, you shouldn't be Qbs specific then.Surely QtC

You can retrieve this information via the qbs API. In fact, Creator's code model does exactly that. If you are writing a Qt Creator plugin, then the most sensible option is probably to get that information from the code model. That way, your plugin will work independently of the build system. (I do not know whether the code model currently exports the information, but if it does not, that can probably be changed if you present a good use case.)
