Hi Tarcisio,

KDevelop uses https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-file-api.7.html 
if CMake version is >= 3.14 (see kdevelop/plugins/cmake/cmakefileapi.*). There 
are several older implementations, which are used for older CMake versions. If 
you don't care much about older CMake versions, simply using the file API is 
probably the most reasonable option.

Cheers,
Igor
