It is Brian Crowell's idea and initial work. Binaries are not uploaded yet.<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span class="tab"> Brian, I've used parts of your code but there are 2 major changes you should know about:</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0,
0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span class="tab"> </span>1. I've decided to change the approach from enumerating properties to enumerating verbs, as I mentioned earlier - the reasoning is that now there's no need to manually scan the huge Qt API for property-like methods; also, it turned out pretty easy to do. There are categorised dictionaries only so I only had to get one, leave only the single-worded verbs that are not also nouns using a few regular expressions, and the result was a text file of only 108 K/11 500 lines which doesn't slow the build significantly. I'd like to hear in more detail your opinion so that the disadvantages this approach may have are noted and fixed;</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span
class="tab"> 2. I haven't committed the "Get" prefix on methods yet. I've found an unpleasant bug with property generation which I'd like to fix beforehand. It is old, it's just that I noticed it while merging and changing your code. The problem is that in some cases methods shadow properties. The case I've found is </span><span class="tab">that QObject has a Parent property, and the QAbstractItemModel, which inherits from QObject, generates a Parent() method which shadows the property. Once I fix this I'll work on integrating your "Get" part as well.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span class="tab"> <br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span
