Hello All, I am a Masters Student in Computer Engineering Program at Arizona State University. I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2018 with Qt as my mentor organisation. I went through all the projects mentioned here - https://wiki.qt.io/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018/Project_Ideas and I am interested in working on the Bazel plugin for Qt Creator. In that regard, I went through the plugin architecture of Qt Creator and CMakeProjectManager plugin written for it. Based on what I have understood, I have split the main task of Bazel suport for Qt Creator into the following sub tasks -
1. Getting the information of the configured toolchains in qtkitinformation 2. Identifying the build directory for a toolchain and running Bazel in it for the given project 3. Parsing the bazel configuration output from build directory to identify targets, header paths and compiler flags 4. Passing header paths and compiler flags information to Clang backend for supporting clang functionality like goto definition, auto-complete 5. Bazel BUILD & WORKSPACE file editor - with indentation, syntax highlighting and auto-complete support 6. GUI in the settings pane for configuring Bazel and setting additional flags, parameters for compilation 7. Writing appropriate unit tests Could you let me know if my approach is in the right direction and also if there is anything else I could do to add to the above. Thank you. Best Regards, Gowtham (Sree Gowtham Josyula)
