miqt-uic

The miqt-uic program compiles Qt Designer .ui files into MIQT .go files.

For usage information, see the examples/uidesigner folder.

Architecture design

1. Parse xml type definitions
2. Recursively walk and emit Go code.

When developing miqt-uic, it's useful to run Qt uic side-by-side, and compare the output of each program for missing attributes or assignments.

There is a hardcoded list of known MIQT constructor functions taking single parent *qt.QWidget argument.

• A bash function to regenerate this list is included in constructors.go. It should be re-run if MIQT is updated.
• "Promoted Widget" will result in no matching found constructor function (current known issue).
