Hi Chris, 

You mean "code model"  not "memory model".

And the good support for the STL classes is orthogonal to using the clang code 
model.   The current model could simply be fixed.

Please report specific bug on the Qt's bug tracker. Or vote and follow existing 
ones, such as https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-8937
Of course, patches are accepted as well.  (Or you can also pay someone to fix 
bugs)

Regarding the use of libclang for the code model in Qt creator, there was no 
progress in a long time.
