For his GSOC 2009 project Arno Rehn rewrote the bindings generator for the 
Smoke libraries that are used as a basis for several Qt and KDE language 
bindings. It features an industrial strength compiler derived from the QtJambi 
and KDevelop C++ parsers called 'smokegen'. This tool can be used by all KDE 
developers, not just language bindings specialists, to create 'Smoke' 
libraries for the apis of their libraries and applications. Once a Smoke 
library has been created, it is straightforward to implement plugins or 
extensions to use with it for JavaScript, Ruby and other languages.

We have split up the smoke libraries so that there is now a 1:1 mapping 
between each C++ library wrapped and a corresponding smoke libary. A new 
command line tool called 'smokeapi' is provided to introspect the Smoke 
libraries and query the methods and classes in them. We will shortly be adding 
documentation to the TechBase Wiki to explain how to use these new tools.
