Hello, I've been working on adding a daemon mode for cmake to provide information to user tools - such as IDEs - about the buildsystem. Following the discussion about providing metadata for IDEs to consume I proposed creating a long-running process which would provide a protocol to access information about the buildsystem, and about the content of the cmake files themselves: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.devel/12658/focus=13004
Hi Stephen, this sounds very much like what I has proposed for Boost.Build, see: http://vladimirprus.com/talks/boosting-cdt-builds/
I am scheduled to give a talk at FOSDEM about the feature and how user tools can interact with it: https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/enabling_gui_tools_for_cmake_code

Is anyone interested enough in this potential cmake feature to join the development effort?
You can guess I'm not very interested in cmake, but maybe we can discuss the protocol, so that an IDE can work with different build systems? Think we can have a chat at FOSDEM? -- Vladimir Prus http://vladimirprus.com -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
