QtProFileParser

A small library to parse Qt Project Files and provide easy handling of those

Features:

• can follow pri includes
• organizes the file into a map of keys to a list of values
• supports preset of "conditions" to parse conditinal statements (for example "win32", "unix", ...)
• provides a set of default values that are used a base
• can understand " in values and " as an escape-character (but without replacing it)
• understands all different "operators" (=, +=, -=, ...) and evaluates them correctly
• Can handle functions and variables without failing, but won't replace those
• Completly cross-platform (only Qt-Code, should work on any system that's supported by Qt)

Planned:

• Auto-Replacement of basic variables, e.g. $$TARGET will be replaced by it's contents
• Auto-Detection of additional conditions added/removed by the CONFIG variable
• recursive include protection (If a file includes itself, it will lead to a crash)

Usage - Example:

QtProFileParser parser;
parser.setFilePath("/some/example/file.pro");//path to the pro file to be parsed
parser.setConditions({"win32", "CONFIG(debug, debug|release)"});//additonal conditions to be assumed set
parser.setFollowIncludes(true);//follows includes, e.g. include(./sub/file.pri)
QProjectFieldMap map = parser.parse();//performs the actual parsing

qDebug() << map["QT"];//outputs all contents of the "QT" variable, e.g. core gui
