[Qt-creator] Qt Creator 4.2.0 - Blank outline for some C++ files in imported autotools project

[Nikolai Kosjar]

Do you have symbols in the locator for the file? "C++ Symbols in Current Document" -  Ctrl+K, dot (.), space

Activating the clang code model might provide some useful diagnostic/hints. http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-clang-codemodel.html#activating-clang-code-model

Please report at http://bugreports.qt.io/

Subject: [Qt-creator] Qt Creator 4.2.0 - Blank outline for some C++ files in imported autotools project

I'm looking at curve-view.cpp
(https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-hardware-monitor-plugin/tree/src/curve-view.cpp),
and the Outline is blank on the left (and '<No Symbols>' is shown on the
top bar).

Looking at Tools -> C++ -> Inspect C++ Code Model... -> Snapshots and
Documents: Current Editor's Snapshot, the bottom Symbols tab has useful
symbols, and there is no Diagnostic Messages or Undefined Macros output.
Same for other listed snapshots.

As a normal user, is there any way for me to investigate why Qt Creator
(presumably) doesn't like the file?

Thanks for any help.
