-************
-CMake primer
-************
-
-This chapter will is a basic introduction to CMake, the build system
-used by PyQtB and the binding generator.
-
-The practical steps will be focusing in using cmake in a unix-like
-(GNU/Linux) environment.
-
-
-Configuring
-===========
-
-Project file - CMakeLists.txt
------------------------------
-
-CMake parses the file CMakeLists.txt for information about the project,
-like project name, dependencies, what should be compiled, what should be
-shipped.
-
-
-CMake variables
----------------
-
-CMake can have its default behavior modified by providing some
-
-* ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<some path here>`` sets the install prefix to
- the specified path.
-* ``CMAKE_MODULE_PATH=<some path here>`` sets the extra directories
- where CMake will try to find its modules.
-* ``CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<file path>`` sets the path to the file that
- describes the toolchain used to compile this project. Is is very useful
- when using CMake with icecc to speedup compilation.
-
-You can define a variable using the ``-D<VARIABLE>`` switch.
-
-Invoking CMake
---------------
-
-After writing the CMakeLists.txt and deciding which flags will be used,
-you can invoke CMake using::
-
- cmake <CMake flags> <path to toplevel CMakeLists.txt file>
-
-For example, if you use the ``build/`` folder to build the project and
-want it to be installed into ``/opt/sandbox/``, use the following lines::
-
- cd build/
- cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/sandbox ..
-
-CMake will process the project file and write the output files in the
-current directory
-
-Building
-========
-
-After the configuration process, the Makefiles are written and you can build
-the project using :program:`make`.
-
-Installing
-==========
-
-As in the building process, ``make install`` will install the files into
-the target directory.

-What is the generator?
-----------------------
+What is Shiboken?
+-----------------
Here the name generator refers actually to a program composed of a set of
*generator classes* that output different resources based on information
contained inside C++ header files.
-What is the API Extractor?
---------------------------
-
-It is a library that parses C++ header files and builds a data model around
-them in order to ease the work of manipulating these data inside
-*generators*.
-
-
-Is there any similar tools around?
-----------------------------------
-
-The generator framework actually started as a fork of the qtscriptgenerator,
-with the focus on python bindings instead of QtScript. After some time, the
-python-specific code was split from the the header parsing and data model
-code. The former became what we call *generator* while the latter is now
-called *API Extractor*.
-
-What's the relationship between the generator and the API Extractor?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The generator system relies heavily in the API Extractor classes, using
-them as syntatic sugar to access the data model of the classes being
-wrapped.
-
-What are the dependencies to run the generator?
------------------------------------------------
-
-API Extractor, QtCore and QtXml.
-
Creating bindings
=================
Can I wrap non-Qt libraries?
----------------------------
-Although it's not yet well tested, there's a good chance that non-Qt
-libraries can be wrapped using the generator. But remember that
-generator injects runtime dependency on Qt for the generated binding.

-Binding libfoo with the Generator
-=================================
-
-In order to create bindings for a library based on Qt4 a number of components
-must be available in the system.
-
- + Qt4 library (with headers and pkg-config .pc files for development -- the
- ``-dev`` packages in a Debian distribution).
- + Qt4 Python bindings made with **boostgenerator**.
- + Typesystems for the Qt4 Python bindings.
- + Headers for the library to be bound.
-
-With the above listed in place the developer must write the components from
-where the generator will gather information to create the binding source code.
-
- + Typesystem file describing the way the binding must be done.
- + **global.h** including all the **libfoo** headers and defining required macros.
- + A build system to direct the process of generating, compiling and linking the binding.
-
-The directory structure for the binding project could be something like the tree
-shown below:
-
-::
-
- foobinding/
- |-- data/
- `-- module_dir/
- `-- glue/
-
-
-The **data** directory should contain the **global.h** and the typesystem
-file. This typesystem need to refer to the ones used to create the Qt4 bindings,
-commonly located on **/usr/share/PyQtB/typesystem**, the exact location
-can be checked with pkg-config:
-
-::
-
- $ pkg-config qt4python --variable=typesystemdir
-
-
-The **module_dir** directory is the place where the sources generated should
-be placed. It starts empty except for the build instructions file (Makefile,
-Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt, etc). The realname of this directory must be the
-same written in the typesystem file:
-
-::
-
- <typesystem package="module_dir">
-
-
-If there is any need for handwritten source code longer than a couple of lines,
-making them unconfortable to be put on the typesystem xml file, the sources
-could be orderly placed in a **glue** directory, also referred in the
-new binding typesystem.
-
-When writing the typesystem file (more on this later) there is no need to refer
-to the other required typesystem files with absolute paths, the locations where
-they can be found could be passed to the generator through a command line
-option (``--typesystem-paths=PATH1:PATH2:[...]``) or the environment variable
-**TYPESYSTEMPATH**.
-
-For **libfoo** no glue code will be needed so this directory is not used,
-the other directories are created with proper names.
-
-::
-
- foobinding/
- |-- data/global.h
- | `-- typesystem_foo.xml
- `-- foo/

-Building The Binding
-====================
-
-As mentioned before the build system used must perform the following tasks
-in the correct order:
-
- + Gather data about locations of headers and external needed typesystems.
- + Run the generator with the correct parameters.
- + Compile and link the binding.
-
-The first and last are the usual, being the second the only novelty in the
-process.
-
-Running the Generator
----------------------
-
-The generator is called with the following parameters and options:
-
-::
-
- $ boostgenerator global_headers.h \
- --include-paths=$(PATHS_TO_HEADERS)) \
- --typesystem-paths=$(PATHS_TO_TYPESYSTEMS) \
- --output-directory=. \
- typesystem.xml
-
-Notice that the variables for include and typesystem paths could be determined
-at build time with the pkg-config tool.
-
-Collecting information with pkg-config
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The Qt4 bindings include compile and build information through the pkg-config
-mechanism. The pkg-config name for Qt4 Python bindings is **qt4python** and a
-simple ``pkg-config qt4python --cflags --libs`` will retrieve the information
-needed to build the new binding.
-
-The Qt4 bindings file ``qt4python.pc`` for the use of pkg-config requires
-the ``.pc`` files from Qt4 to be installed. If the library is in an unusual
-location, e.g. ``/opt/qt45``, remember to export it to the ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``
-environment variable.
-For example: ``export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/qt45/lib/pkgconfig``
-
-There is a vital information also available through pkg-config:
-the **typesystemdir** variable. It is used like this:
-``pkg-config qt4python --variable=typesystemdir`` This provides information
-where to find the typesystem files used to create the Qt4 bindings, and as said
-before the binding being created needs this to complement its own binding
-information for the generation proccess.
-
-Makefile
---------
-
-Below is a plain Makefile for the binding project.
-
-**foobinding/foo/Makefile**
-::
-
- LIBTEST_DIR = ../../libfoo
- LIBS = -lboost_python-gcc43-1_38-py25 -lpython2.5 \
- `pkg-config qt4python --libs` \
- -lfoo -L$(LIBTEST_DIR) \
- -lpthread -ldl -lutil
- CFLAGS = -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. \
- -I$(LIBTEST_DIR) \
- `pkg-config qt4python --cflags` \
- -I/usr/include/python2.5\
- -I/usr/include/boost/python
- QT4TYPESYSTEM_DIR = `pkg-config --variable=typesystemdir qt4python`
- QT4HEADER_DIRS = `pkg-config --variable=includedir QtCore`:`pkg-config --variable=includedir QtCore`/..
-
- SOURCES = math_wrapper.cpp foo_module_wrapper.cpp foo_global_functions_wrapper.cpp
- OBJECTS = math_wrapper.o foo_module_wrapper.o foo_global_functions_wrapper.o
-
- all: generate compile link
-
- generate:
- boostgenerator ../data/global.h \
- --include-paths=$(LIBTEST_DIR):$(QT4HEADER_DIRS):/usr/include \
- --typesystem-paths=../data:$(QT4TYPESYSTEM_DIR) \
- --output-directory=.. \
- ../data/typesystem_foo.xml
-
- compile: $(SOURCES)
- g++ -fPIC -DPIC $(CFLAGS) math_wrapper.cpp -c
- g++ -fPIC -DPIC $(CFLAGS) foo_global_functions_wrapper.cpp -c
- g++ -fPIC -DPIC $(CFLAGS) foo_module_wrapper.cpp -c
-
- link:
- g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,foo.so -o foo.so $(LIBS) $(OBJECTS)
-
- test:
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(LIBTEST_DIR) python -c \
- "import foo; print dir(foo); m = foo.Math(); print m.squared(5)"
-
- clean:
- rm -rf *.o *.so *.?pp *.log
-
-
-Keepe in mind that the Makefile above expects the ``libfoo`` and
-``foobinding`` directories to be in the same level in the directory
-hierarchy, remember to change any path references accordingly if
-you choose to change things.
-
-**Warning:**
- The order in which the link flags are passed matters.
- **libboost_python** must come first, otherwise weeping
- and gnashing of teeth will follow.
-
-Testing the Binding
--------------------
-Now compile the binding with ``make``:
-
-::
-
- $ cd foobinding/foo
- $ make
-
-To test if the new binding is working (it can pass the build phase but still
-blow up at runtime) start up a Python terminal and import it by the name.
-
-::
-
- $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/libfoo/shared/object/dir
- $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/foo/python/module/file/dir
- $ python
- >> import foo
- >> print dir(foo)
- >> m = foo.Math()
- >> print m.squared(5)

-The Global Header
-=================
-
-Besides the information provided by the typesystem, the generator needs to
-gather more data from the library headers containing the classes to be exposed
-in Python. If there is a header that include all the others (or just one, as is
-the case of **libfoo**) this could be passed directly to the generator.
-
-If such a file is not available, or only a subset of the library is desired, or
-if some flags must be defined before parsing the library headers, then a
-``global.h`` file must be provided.
-
-The use of a ``global.h`` file is preferred if some macros must be defined
-before the parser gather data from the headers. For example, if ``NULL`` is not
-defined and it is used as a default paramater for some constructor or method,
-the parser will not recognize it.
-
-The solve this create a ``global.h`` including all the desired headers and the
-defined (and undefined) flags as follows:
-
-**foobinding/data/global.h**
-::
-
- #undef QT_NO_STL

-Binding Generation Tutorial
-***************************
-
-This tutorial intends to describe the process of binding creation with
-|project| and using a very simple Qt4 based library will be used as an
-example.
-
-The image below shows the inputs needed to generate the binding source code.
-
-.. image:: images/generatorworkings.png
-
-Putting in words, the user provides the headers for the library along with a
-typesystem file describing how the classes will be exposed in the target
-language, as well as any needed custom source code to be merged with
-the generated source code.
-
-This tutorial will go through the steps needed to have the binding
-being able to be imported and used from a Python program.
-
-**NOTE:** the binding generator is intended to be used with Qt4 based libraries
-only, at least for the time being.

-Creating the foo library
-=========================
-
-In this section is the code and build instructions for a very simple Qt4 based
-library which will serve as a subject for this tutorial.
-
-The Source Code
----------------
-
-There is only one class on this foo library plus a ``.pro`` file which means
-that the build system used will be Trolltech's **qmake**.
-
-Put the files below in a directory called **libfoo**. Be aware that this
-directory will be refered by the binding Makefile presented in a next section
-of this tutorial. If you want to use other names or paths change the binding
-Makefile accordingly. Blind copy'n'paste shortens your life.

- int squared(int x);

- TARGET = foo
- DEPENDPATH += .

-
-To build the lib:

-Creating the Typesystem Description
-===================================
-
-The type system is a specification used when mapping a C++ based library onto a
-corresponding Python module. The specification is a handwritten XML document
-listing the types that will be available in the generated binding, alterations
-to classes and function signatures to better suit the target language,
-and listing the components that should be rejected for the binding.

-**PyQtB** uses a typesystem format similar to the ones used **QtJambi** and
-**QtScript**, thoroughly described in the page *"The Qt Jambi Type System"*. [#]_
-
-The divergences between **PyQtB** and QtScript/QtJambi typesystems will be
-highlighted whenever they appear. Things to be aware of when writing
-a typesystem will be also mentioned.
-
-Describing **libfoo** for Python Audiences
-------------------------------------------
-
-All typesystem files start with the root ``typesystem`` tag, the
-``package`` attribute carries the name of the package as it will be seen
-from Python.
-
-Right after that, all the typesystem files providing information required for
-the generation process are included in the same fashion as header files in C.
-
-**foobinding/data/typesystem_test.xml**
-::
-
- <?xml version="1.0"?>
- <typesystem package="foo">
- <load-typesystem name="typesystem_core.xml" generate="no"/>
- <object-type name="Math"/>
- </typesystem>
-
-
-The inclusion of the other typesystem files is achieved with the
-``load-typesystem`` tag. The ``generate`` attribute must be set to ``"no"``
-or else the generator will try to create more source code for the already
-existing bindings included for reference.
-
-The C++ classes derived from **QObject** intended to be exposed in the target
-language are described with ``object-type`` tags.
-
-
-For this example binding just specifying the name of the class does the trick,
-since the generator system will automatically catch the methods with arguments
-and return value of types known. These types can be described in the same
-typesystem file or in the ones referenced with the ``load-typesystem`` tag.
-
-In more complex situations method signatures can be changed or rejected with
-other tags that can be checked out in the typesystem reference.
-
-
-Other Common Cases and Differences
-----------------------------------
-
-What follows now is some common uses of the typesystem capabilities. All of them
-can be seen in the Qt4 typesystem files. They are not used for this binding
-tutorial example, so if you just want to have things working ASAP,
-move along.
-
-Templates
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-To ease the process of writing custom code for the binding, recurring pieces of
-code can be turned generic with the Typesystem template mechanism.
-They are declared in a way similar to this snippet:
-
-::
-
- <template name="only_bool*_fix">
- bool ok;
- %RETURN_TYPE retval = self.%FUNCTION_NAME(&ok);
- </template>
-
-And is used as in this example:
-
-::
-
- <inject-code class="native" position="beginning">
- <insert-template name="only_bool*_fix"/>
- </inject-code>
-
-
-The ``typesystem_template.xml`` file from the Qt4 bindings can be used as a
-good resource for examples of this. Check also the QtJambi documentation on
-typesystem templates. [#]_
-
-Non-QObject Derived Classes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Even in a Qt4 based library it is common to find classes that doesn't
-pertain to the QObject hierarchy, these must be declared as ``value-type``:
-
-::
-
- <value-type name="RectOrSomethingLikeThat"/>
-
-
-Unused Tags
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Some tags defined in the QtScript/QtJambi typesystem has no effect in **PyQtB**
-typesystem, they are:
-
- + conversion-rule
- + argument-map
-
-Changes to ``"inject-code"`` Tag
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can pass a file name to the **inject-code** tag, the file contents will
-be injected in the generated code.
-
-The ``class`` attribute value ``java`` was changed to ``target``, while
-``native`` remained the same.
-
-Global Functions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The **BoostGenerator** supports global functions, you can also reject these
-functions using the **rejection** tag like is done to reject classes, just
-pass an empty string to the class attribute.
-
-::
-
- <rejection class="" function-name="qt_noop"/>
