Detailed Description

Probe items can appear inside Product, Project and ModuleProvider items. They are run prior to building, for instance to locate dependent headers, libraries, and other files outside the project directory whose locations are not known ahead of time. Probes can be parameterized via their properties and typically store results in properties as well. These results are then retrieved via the Probe's id, which is mandatory:

Product {
    Probe {
        id: valueCalculator
        property string parameter: "whatever"
        property int value
        configure: {
            value = Utils.calculateValue(parameter); // Expensive operation
            found = true;
        }
    }
    property int theValue: valueCalculator.value
}
