    \brief Extracts information about dependencies from a Conan recipe file.

    The \c ConanfileProbe interfaces \QBS to the \l{https://conan.io/}{Conan
    package manager}. It runs
    \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/commands/consumer/install.html}{conan
    install} on a Conan recipe file such as \c conanfile.py or \c conanfile.txt
    and extracts all available meta information about package dependencies using
    the \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/generators/json.html}{json
    generator}. The output may be used to set up \l{Profile} items or module
    properties in products. \c ConanfileProbe can also be used to run other
    Conan generators and to retrieve their output.

    \section1 Examples

    In the following examples we assume that our project contains a \c conanfile.py.
    This file describes all dependencies of our project. The dependency packages are
    expected to export meta information to be consumed by our project.

    \section2 Using ConanfileProbe with Conan Module Provider

    Conan 2.6 has a built-in
    \l{https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/tools/qbs/qbsdeps.html#qbsdeps}{QbsDeps} generator
    that creates JSON files suitable for consumption by the \l{conan}{conan} module provider.
    Use it to access dependencies.

    \qml
    import qbs.Probes

    Project {
        Probes.ConanfileProbe {
            id: conanProbe
            conanfilePath: project.sourceDirectory + "/conanfile.py"
            generators: "QbsDeps"
        }

        CppApplication {
            type: "application"
            files: "main.cpp"
            qbsModuleProviders: "conan"
            moduleProviders.conan.installDirectory: conanProbe.generatedFilesPath
            Depends { name: "mylib" }
        }
    }
    \endqml

    \section2 Including Files Generated by Conan

    \note This example does not apply to Conan 2.0, or newer.

    Conan 1 has a built-in
    \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/generators/qbs.html}{qbs
    generator} that creates a project file containing dummy products. This is
    the easiest way to access dependencies, but also the least flexible one. It
    requires each Conan package to export correct meta information and works only
    if the dependency is a library.

    \qml
    import qbs.Probes

    Project {
        Probes.ConanfileProbe {
            id: conan
            conanfilePath: project.sourceDirectory + "/conanfile.py"
            generators: "qbs"
        }

        references: conan.generatedFilesPath + "/conanbuildinfo.qbs"

        CppApplication {
            type: "application"
            files: "main.cpp"
            Depends { name: "mylib" }
        }
    }
    \endqml

    \section2 Setting Module Properties in Products

    \note This example does not apply to Conan 2.0, or newer.

    When a product depends on a Conan package that does not have a
    dedicated \l{List of Modules}{module}, package meta information may be
    directly fed into the \l{cpp} module.

    This approach is very flexible.

    \qml
    import qbs.Probes

    CppApplication {
        Probes.ConanfileProbe {
            id: conan
            conanfilePath: product.sourceDirectory + "/conanfile.py"
            options: ({opt1: "True"; opt2: "TheValue"})
        }
        cpp.includePaths: conan.dependencies["myLib"].include_paths
        cpp.libraryPaths: conan.dependencies["myLib"].lib_paths
        cpp.dynamicLibraries: conan.dependencies["mylib"].libs
    }
    \endqml

    \section2 Setting Up a Profile

    \note This example does not apply to Conan 2.0, or newer.

    When multiple products depend on one or more Conan packages, the dependency
    information may be combined in a \l{Profile}. This is especially useful when
    \QBS modules are available for some of the packages, but some of their
    properties need to be initialized. Otherwise, it would have to be done
    manually in global profiles.

    \qml
    import qbs.Probes

    Project {
        Probes.ConanfileProbe {
            id: conan
            conanfilePath: project.sourceDirectory + "/conanfile.py"
        }
        Profile {
            name: "arm-gcc"
            cpp.toolchainInstallPath: conan.dependencies["arm-none-eabi-gcc"].rootpath + "/bin"
            cpp.toolchainPrefix: "arm-linux-gnueabi-"
            qbs.toolchainType: "gcc"
        }
    }
    \endqml

    This allows fully automated dependency management, including compiler
    toolchains and is very useful when teams work in heterougeneous
    environments.
