Hi,<\/p>\n
my name is Arno Rehn and I”m a bindings developer. I”m working mainly on the C# bindings for Qt and KDE together with Richard Dale.<\/p>\n
Currently I”m also working on my gsoc project – Rewriting the SMOKE generator using one of Roberto Raggi”s C++ parsers.
\nSMOKE is a library which provides the possibility to dynamically call methods on classes. It is the foundation for many of the Qt\/KDE bindings, like Ruby, C# and PHP.
\nThe old generator for the SMOKE sources is based on a perl tool, kalyptus, and only works with a bunch of hacks in the code. It tends to break on new releases of Qt or KDE which introduce new features.<\/p>\n
The goal of my project is to create a stable and robust tool, similar to the moc, which you just run on the headers of your project and you then end up with a bunch of source files that are the basis for bindings for your project.<\/p>\n
Eventually I decided to use the new parser from KDevelop4, since that has a pretty convenient API (unlike the QtJambi \/ qtscriptgenerator one). It took some time to remove the KDevPlatform\/KDevelop specific bits, though. It would”ve also been nice if I could”ve used the DUChain from KDevelop, but that seems to be so tightly integrated that I would have to provide half of KDevelop to use it.<\/p>\n
I”m pretty much ahead of time – the generator is nearly finished. By the end of the GCDS, which I”m attending until Thursday, it should be working completely – at least with the Qt classes.<\/p>\n
P.S.: I know that gsoc has started quite some time back, but I was really to lazy\/busy to start a blog \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
