Which version do you use? Designated initializers support was added in 3.2 (
c56b999ffff249d4cb7dc7e8026a3297b63ff56d).

I now see that the members are not detected correctly (for e.g. Find
Usages), but parsing looks ok.

You can set PRECOMPILED_HEADER = header.h in your pro file. It should be
applied to all sources.
