[Qt-creator] Class Browser

[Damien Fagnou]

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply ,

at the moment this is really only targeted for internal use so memory 
and speed are not a priority .
if I wanted to have a go at the (not ideal) solution you recommend 
("visit of the global symbol tables") were would I look ?
we are currently using a slightly modify version of qtCreator ( no only 
plugins ) so small tweek to the code base are also an option in that case .

in any case I look forward those API to extract info about the front-end 
parser !!

Thanks a lot for bringing a first class IDE into the linux(cross 
platform) world !
