Do someone know how to see the call hierarchy (when coding in C, similar to the one that Eclipse has) in QTCreator?
Creator does not have that feature yet. If you want to know who is using your function you can use "Find Usages" though.
Contributions are -- as with all open source projects -- welcome;-)

First off I've searched my hind end off for hours now trying to find an answer, but I can't seem to find anything remotely useful. What I am trying to do is to find a way to add in code-folding to the built in batch language. Basically I love using batch, but when I have tons of code, I want to be able to hide the code I do not need to edit which will make it easier to find the code I DO need to edit. What I want is to be able to make it so if I typed "::{" (without quotes) and have finished code in the middle and end with "::}" (also without quotes).
First question, is it possible? Can I add something like this (that one could normally add in the "user defined language") to the built-in batch language?
Next question, if not, where could I figure out how to basically re-create the batch language (and add my own twists) into a new "user defined language"?
Last question, if neither of those are possible, what are my other options?
Like I said, I've researched for hours. I'm not one to ask for help on forums, but I'm desperate at this point. All I want is to use the batch language and have code folding. Doesn't seem like too much to ask, but it might be!
Thanks!
In Notepad++ you can define a language by going to the Language menu --> Define your language (at least in version 6.6.9 anyway). On the Folder & Default tab, under Folding in code 1 style, input a ( into the "Open" box. Input a ) into the "Close" box. Save this as "Windows Batch" (or at least something that doesn't conflict with the in-built language named "batch".
Until you define styles, it'll be ugly and unusable, but it should allow you to collapse / expand parenthetical code blocks as a proof of concept and see whether this project is worthy of further effort. Your next steps will be to copypaste batch keywords from %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\langs.model.xml, and use the "batch" language styles from your favorite theme in Notepad++\themes\. If I were doing it, I'd input a few basic things using the GUI (like keywords, folding characters, etc.), then export to an XML file on the Desktop and copypaste the rest from a theme, search-&-replacing stuff as needed to massage the theme into your user-defined language. At the end, import your massaged XML into the Define your language dialog. It was going to be more effort than I felt like exerting, but your mileage may vary. If you decide to undertake this journey and you complete it, I hope you'll consider sharing your efforts.
This similar question has a few answers that suggest some workarounds you might find worthwhile -- in particular, hiding, rather than collapsing.
I'm trying to write some new statements for an internal C DSL.
The tool of my choice is MPS and the base is the c-core of mbeddr.
I found this tutorial on the internet. Since it is a little old, I am not able to duplicate the exact structure of the setup itself.
What I want to do is to create a new language. This language must be extended by com.mbeddr.core. I found, how to extend the language and did so. I needed to extend every single language com.mbeddr.core.* by its own, everything else did not work (it does not even work properly now).
The I created a new statement in a structure module. There I extended the concept to a Statement (c.m.c.statements.structure is shown). Then, following the video tutorial, I wanted to add an expression as a child, this is where it fails.
I am not sure where I went wrong here. It is very difficult to set it up properly, since all tutorials/guides are outdated.
Thanks for your help,
Best Simon

But Tk is only really ugly on Unixen because it defaults to a Motif theme (modern Tk is/should be replaced by TTk which is themeable).
Given two Tk apps which I still use occasionally, namely Gitk and ptkdb, how do I change their look and feel so that it matches the rest of the desktop environment (KDE 4)?
See: http://wiki.tcl.tk/gtklook.tcl for a quick way to make default Tk look less painfully ugly. I often use it in my own programs to hide the fact that it's actually written in tcl/tk.
The code given is tcl but you can easily use the options in an Xresources or Xdefaults file which I think should work in other languages as well. Or, it that doesn't work I believe there is an equivalent option method in Perl/Tk*.
Yes, the changes are not much. Basically just reducing pixel widths of things like borders and scrollbars. But it does look much nicer.
*note: I only mention Perl/Tk because you mentioned it in another post. As for modifying gitk, it is written in tcl so you can easily copy-paste the code somewhere.
Check out the TkDocs website, everything I know about modern Tk I learnt from there! Well and experience too of course ;-)
It will not be simple to retrofit it onto a substantial legacy application, but you could probably get surprisingly far by just prefixing the widgets with ttk::.
We're trying to learn to use T4 Templates. I have a desire to use the System.Data.Entity.Design.PluralizationServices library in order to better pluralize some Entity Model names within my template, but I've come across some issues in the achievement of this goal.
Running code to generate output text. I think this is possible, but if it's not going to work, then there's no need to go any further. (I could call Date.Now.ToString() and get the expected result. I haven't tried anything much more complicated yet)
I am in a Silverlight App, and so I can't add a reference to the project for the PluralizationServices library in the place where I need the generated .cs file. I was planning on just moving the .tt file to a non-SL app, using the namespace and moving the generated file to the correct space. Haven't got that far yet, so I don't know how much trouble that will be, but it doesn't seem like it should be too hard.
My current problem is that when I import the namespace of the library, I get an "ErrorGeneratingOutput" and I haven't been able to move on past that yet.
I am having a hard time finding information about how the import command works, so I assume that it's just obvious. At the same time though, this one doesn't work so I wonder if it might be an exception to the standard.
<##import namespace="System.Data.Entity.Design.PluralizationServices" #>
I have no idea why adding this line (and only this line) causes everything to break. I haven't even started to try to use it yet! Is there something somewhere about libraries in T4 that I should know or read? Thanks!
Here a description of how the import directive works. Without knowing the actual error T4 reports when transofrming the template in your environment, I can only guess that you didn't add an assembly directive to reference the System.Data.Entity.Design assembly. If this doesn't work, look at the errors reported by T4 in the Error List of visual studio, which should be more helpful than "ErrorGeneratingOutput".
Is there a tool where I can give a file + function name as an input and it gives me all functions the given function depends on and the same for all the found functions, and so on within my codebase?
Something like this would help a lot in extracting functionality from existing codebases.
You could use doxygen with dot to create a call graph -- it should work fine even without doxygen annotations in the comments.
See some samples of it here.
See this discussion.
I don't know of a standalone tool that will do this. However it is a supported feature of certain IDE's such as Source Insight
http://www.sourceinsight.com/
Source Navigator is a free tool that includes this functionality:

cxref should do what you ask for.
