Generating UI with C++, boost & Qt
summary
Prototype generates Qt UI from C++ types instead of hand wiring controls: uses Verdigris to avoid moc, inspects Boost.Fusion ADAPT_STRUCT and iterates with boost::mp11 to auto-create models, edit dialogs and views. Claim: templated QObject classes and generic Qt models work and reduce boilerplate. Built result is a working prototype but integration is hard — existing hand-written Qt code and the generated code don’t compose cleanly, so reuse and migration remain the open problems.
