    \brief Represents the result of a build process.

    A Product typically represents the result of a build process. It specifies a set of
    input and output files and a way to transform the former into the latter. For example, the
    following product sets up a very simple C++ application:
    \code
    Product {
        name: "helloworld"
        type: "application"
        files: "main.cpp"
        Depends { name: "cpp" }
    }
    \endcode
    The \l{type} property specifies what will be built (an executable). The
    \l{files} property specifies the input files (one C++ source file), and the
    \l{Depends} item pulls in the logic from the \l{cpp} module
    about how to do the necessary transformations.
    For some often-used types of products, \QBS pre-defines special derived items that save
    users some typing. These are:
    \list
        \li \l{Application}
        \li \l{CppApplication}
        \li \l{DynamicLibrary}
        \li \l{StaticLibrary}
    \endlist
    Therefore, the above example could also be written like this:
    \code
    CppApplication {
        name: "helloworld"
        files: "main.cpp"
    }
    \endcode
    Any property \c prop attached to this item is available in sub-items as \c product.prop, as
    well as in modules that are loaded from this product.

    \section1 Multiplexing Properties

    The following properties are relevant for product multiplexing only.
    Unless multiplexing is desired, they can be left at their default values:

    \list
        \li \l{aggregate}
        \li \l{multiplexedType}
        \li \l{multiplexByQbsProperties}
    \endlist

    \note We do not promise backwards compatibility for multiplexing properties
    as they are likely to change in future \QBS versions.

    \section1 Read-Only Properties

    The following properties are automatically set by \QBS and cannot be
    changed by the user:

    \list
        \li \l{buildDirectory}
        \li \l{sourceDirectory}
    \endlist
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Product::builtByDefault

    Determines whether the product will be built.

    If \c false, the product will only be built if this is explicitly requested,
    either by listing the product name as an argument to the
    \l{build-products}{--products} option or by using the
    \l{build-all-products}{--all-products} option of the \l{build} command.

    \defaultvalue \c true
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Product::condition

    Determines whether the product will be built.

    If \c false, the product will not be built.

    \defaultvalue \c true
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Product::name

    The name of the product. Used to identify the product in a \l{Depends} item, for
    example. The value of this property must be a simple JavaScript expression that
    does not depend on module properties or values that are non-local to this product.

    \code
    CppApplication {
        name: "hello" + "world"
        // valid
    }
    CppApplication {
        name: "app_" + qbs.targetOS.join("_")
        // invalid
    }
    \endcode

    To change the name of your product's target artifact, modify \l{targetName}
    instead.

    \defaultvalue An empty string
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::type

    The file tags matching the product's target artifacts.

    \defaultvalue An empty list
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Product::targetName

    The base file name of the product's target artifacts.

    \defaultvalue The value of \l{name} with illegal file name characters
    replaced by underscores.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Product::destinationDirectory

    The directory where the target artifacts will be located. If a relative path
    is given, the base directory will be \l{Project::buildDirectory}
    {project.buildDirectory}.

    \defaultvalue \c{product.buildDirectory}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::files

    A list of source files. Syntactic sugar to save a \l{Group} item for simple
    products.

    Relative paths are resolved using the parent directory of the project file
    that sets the property.

    \defaultvalue An empty list
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::excludeFiles

    A list of source files not to include. Useful with wildcards.
    For more information, see \l{Group}.

    \defaultvalue An empty list
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Product::consoleApplication

    On Windows, determines whether a console or GUI application is generated.

    If \c true, a console application is generated. If \c false, a GUI
    application is generated.

    On Apple platforms, influences the default application type.

    If \c true, a normal executable is generated.
    If \c false, an application bundle is generated.

    \defaultvalue Linker-dependent
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::qbsSearchPaths

    A list of paths that are searched for imports, modules and module providers.

    The value set here will be merged with the value of
    \l{Project::qbsSearchPaths}{project.qbsSearchPaths}.

    For the details about how to add custom items, see the \l{Custom Modules and Items} page.

    \defaultvalue \l{Project::qbsSearchPaths}{project.qbsSearchPaths}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string Product::version

    The version number of the product. Used in shared library filenames and generated
    Info.plist files in Apple application and framework bundles, for example.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool Product::aggregate

    If \c{true}, an aggregate product will be created that has dependencies on all
    multiplex instances of this product.

    \note If you do not want to do multiplexing, you can use the default value
    \c{undefined}.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::multiplexedType

    Specifies the product type for the multiplexed product instances.

    \note If you do not want to do multiplexing, you can use the default value
    \c{undefined}.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList Product::multiplexByQbsProperties

    Specifies which properties of the \l{qbs} module will be used for product
    multiplexing:

    \list
        \li \l{qbs::architectures}{architectures}
        \li \l{qbs::buildVariants}{buildVariants}
        \li \l{qbs::profiles}{profiles}
    \endlist

    The value must be a subset of the above values.

    \note If you do not want to do multiplexing, you can use the default value
    \c{["profiles"]}.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty path Product::buildDirectory
    \readonly

    The build directory for this product. This is the directory where generated
    files are placed.

    The value of this property is automatically set by \QBS and cannot be
    changed by the user.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty path Product::sourceDirectory
    \readonly

    The source directory for this product. This is the directory of the file
    where this product is defined.

    The value of this property is automatically set by \QBS and cannot be
    changed by the user.
*/
