Description Ralf Habacker 2014-02-04 23:53:30 UTC
umbrello's recent c++ parser has been taken from the kdevelop 3.0 release. 
While fixing bugs in this parser, there has been several issues found: 
- wrong code position reporting 
- hard to find errors and to extend
- slow import
- external dependency to an outdated boost version

With the c++ parser of kdevelop 3.5 there is an updated parser available. The advantages of upgrading to this parser are:
- get rid of the boost dependency
- easier bug fixing
- easier to extend
- Correct error reporting to the user with a log window or similar to find missing include dirs. 

Drawbacks: 
- need to be ported to Qt4 (several qt3 classes are used)
- need some migration from KSharedPtr to std::auto_ptr  

Reproducible: Always




Notes: 
1. in general there would be an option to take recent kdevelop 4 parser. The drawback is that it uses a different ast implementation, which needs refactoring of the ast to umbrello model feeder. KDE 3.5 c++ parsers ast is mostly compatible to the recently used 3.0 ast.
2. kdevelop developers has been asked to share there c++ parser implementation with umbrello (to place it into kdevplatform), which has been rejected. They do not want to make their ast model public.

Separate kdevelop 3.0 cpp parser from application code.

This makes upgrade to more recent version easier.
