## Member Type Documentation

### enum ToolChain::CompilerFlag
flags ToolChain::CompilerFlags

The CompilerFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<CompilerFlag>. It stores an OR combination of CompilerFlag values.

### enum ToolChain::Detection

## Member Function Documentation

### `[protected]` ToolChain::ToolChain(Core::Id typeId, Detection d)

Default constructs an instance of ToolChain.

### `[protected]` ToolChain::ToolChain(const ToolChain &)

Copy constructor.

### `[virtual]` ToolChain::~ToolChain()

Destroys the instance of ToolChain. The destructor is virtual.

### `[pure virtual]` void ToolChain::addToEnvironment(Utils::Environment &env) const

### `[virtual]` bool ToolChain::canClone() const

### `[pure virtual]` ToolChain *ToolChain::clone() const

### `[pure virtual]` Utils::FileName ToolChain::compilerCommand() const

### `[pure virtual]` PredefinedMacrosRunner ToolChain::createPredefinedMacrosRunner() const

### `[pure virtual]` SystemHeaderPathsRunner ToolChain::createSystemHeaderPathsRunner() const

### Detection ToolChain::detection() const

### QString ToolChain::displayName() const

See also setDisplayName().

### `[virtual protected]` bool ToolChain::fromMap(const QVariantMap &data)

Used by the tool chain manager to load user-generated tool chains.

Make sure to call this function when deriving.
