Hello, I personally don't know anything about Qt internals, so I can't comment on how difficult it will be to use PBG to wrap it. On the PBG side, I think there is a core generator that is pretty good, and can be hacked if needed. There are some builtin customization hooks already in it. In the ns-3 project we have our own object system, and so PBG had to be made flexible enough to support it. The gccxml-based API scanner is not in such good shape, though, so I wouldn't rely on it. Mainly because the GCCXML project itself is not well maintained: it does not keep up with upstream GCC, and so GCCXML will simply produce compilation errors with newer stdc++ headers. GCCXML does not seem to have a lot of future, unfortunately. Hacking PBG can be slightly complex in some parts, but still I think it's considerably less than alternatives like Cython. Not wanting to bash Cython, I think it's a fantastic piece of software, but customizing it is not so simple due to its complexity. On my part, I have not spent much effort developing PBG lately, as I have more pressing work to do lately. I can try to answer some questions, but don't ask any significant effort from me. Otherwise, feel free to hack away! Hope this helps. -- Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro "The universe is always one step beyond logic." -- Frank Herbert
