    Adding QTC_FIND_ERRORS_INDEXING=1 to the run environment will Creator
    force to do some "extended indexing" in order to find bugs:
    
       1) The project files are parsed as if they would be opened in an
          editor. That is, parsing happens as precisely as possible, based on
          the ProjectPart information.
    
       2) Symbols are looked up by invoking CheckSymbols, the backend of the
          semantic highlighter.
    
       3) A "Task List File" (*.tasks) will be written with all diagnostic
          messages.
    
    This special indexing mode is meant for testing purposes. E.g. it can be
    run nightly on some bigger projects to find regressions.
    
    Note that Qt Creator will quit exactly after the first time some source
    files are indexed. E.g. that will happen if you open a file manually or
    if you open a new unconfigured project. Therefore it's required to
    configure projects as needed before invoking in this indexing mode.
