History

This repository contains utilities to perform various editing operations as well as some utilities to integrate Uncrustify and Meld.

This is for my own personal use, but I have tried to make the tools generic (where possible) and useful to others.

Installing

All the scripts install to QtCreators externaltools path:

eg: ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/externaltools/

Currently QtCreator has no way to reference commands relative to this directory so the externaltools dir must be added to the systems PATH.

Tools

Here are a list of the tools with some details on how they work.

External Tools -> Compiler -> Assembler Preview

This tool generates the assembly for the current open document, saving it to a file in the same path with an “.asm” extension.

This can be handy for checking if the compiler is really optimizing out code as expected.

Or if some change really doesn’t change any functionality.

The way it works is to get a list of the build commands that would run, and get those commands for the current file.

Then this command runs, swapping out object creation args for arguments that create the assembly.

Note

It would be nice to open this file, but currently this isn’t supported. It’s just created along side the source.

Note

Currently only GCC is supported.
