source
Clang.LibClang.clang_annotateTokensMethod
clang_annotateTokens(TU, Tokens, NumTokens, Cursors)

Annotate the given set of tokens by providing cursors for each token that can be mapped to a specific entity within the abstract syntax tree.

This token-annotation routine is equivalent to invoking clang_getCursor() for the source locations of each of the tokens. The cursors provided are filtered, so that only those cursors that have a direct correspondence to the token are accepted. For example, given a function call f(x), clang_getCursor() would provide the following cursors:

  • when the cursor is over the 'f', a DeclRefExpr cursor referring to 'f'. * when the cursor is over the '(' or the ')', a CallExpr referring to 'f'. * when the cursor is over the 'x', a DeclRefExpr cursor referring to 'x'.

Only the first and last of these cursors will occur within the annotate, since the tokens "f" and "x' directly refer to a function and a variable, respectively, but the parentheses are just a small part of the full syntax of the function call expression, which is not provided as an annotation.

Parameters

  • TU: the translation unit that owns the given tokens.
  • Tokens: the set of tokens to annotate.
  • NumTokens: the number of tokens in Tokens.
  • Cursors: an array of NumTokens cursors, whose contents will be replaced with the cursors corresponding to each token.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteAtMethod
clang_codeCompleteAt(TU, complete_filename, complete_line, complete_column, unsaved_files, num_unsaved_files, options)

Perform code completion at a given location in a translation unit.

This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and column within source code, providing results that suggest potential code snippets based on the context of the completion. The basic model for code completion is that Clang will parse a complete source file, performing syntax checking up to the location where code-completion has been requested. At that point, a special code-completion token is passed to the parser, which recognizes this token and determines, based on the current location in the C/Objective-C/C++ grammar and the state of semantic analysis, what completions to provide. These completions are returned via a new CXCodeCompleteResults structure.

Code completion itself is meant to be triggered by the client when the user types punctuation characters or whitespace, at which point the code-completion location will coincide with the cursor. For example, if p is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then after the ">" in p->. When the code-completion location is after the ">", the completion results will provide, e.g., the members of the struct that "p" points to. The client is responsible for placing the cursor at the beginning of the token currently being typed, then filtering the results based on the contents of the token. For example, when code-completing for the expression p->get, the client should provide the location just after the ">" (e.g., pointing at the "g") to this code-completion hook. Then, the client can filter the results based on the current token text ("get"), only showing those results that start with "get". The intent of this interface is to separate the relatively high-latency acquisition of code-completion results from the filtering of results on a per-character basis, which must have a lower latency.

Parameters

  • TU: The translation unit in which code-completion should occur. The source files for this translation unit need not be completely up-to-date (and the contents of those source files may be overridden via unsaved_files). Cursors referring into the translation unit may be invalidated by this invocation.
  • complete_filename: The name of the source file where code completion should be performed. This filename may be any file included in the translation unit.
  • complete_line: The line at which code-completion should occur.
  • complete_column: The column at which code-completion should occur. Note that the column should point just after the syntactic construct that initiated code completion, and not in the middle of a lexical token.
  • unsaved_files: the Files that have not yet been saved to disk but may be required for parsing or code completion, including the contents of those files. The contents and name of these files (as specified by CXUnsavedFile) are copied when necessary, so the client only needs to guarantee their validity until the call to this function returns.
  • num_unsaved_files: The number of unsaved file entries in unsaved_files.
  • options: Extra options that control the behavior of code completion, expressed as a bitwise OR of the enumerators of the CXCodeComplete_Flags enumeration. The clang_defaultCodeCompleteOptions() function returns a default set of code-completion options.

Returns

If successful, a new CXCodeCompleteResults structure containing code-completion results, which should eventually be freed with clang_disposeCodeCompleteResults(). If code completion fails, returns NULL.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteGetContainerKindMethod
clang_codeCompleteGetContainerKind(Results, IsIncomplete)

Returns the cursor kind for the container for the current code completion context. The container is only guaranteed to be set for contexts where a container exists (i.e. member accesses or Objective-C message sends); if there is not a container, this function will return CXCursor_InvalidCode.

Parameters

  • Results: the code completion results to query
  • IsIncomplete: on return, this value will be false if Clang has complete information about the container. If Clang does not have complete information, this value will be true.

Returns

the container kind, or CXCursor_InvalidCode if there is not a container

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteGetContainerUSRMethod
clang_codeCompleteGetContainerUSR(Results)

Returns the USR for the container for the current code completion context. If there is not a container for the current context, this function will return the empty string.

Parameters

  • Results: the code completion results to query

Returns

the USR for the container

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteGetContextsMethod
clang_codeCompleteGetContexts(Results)

Determines what completions are appropriate for the context the given code completion.

  • Results: the code completion results to query

Returns

the kinds of completions that are appropriate for use along with the given code completion results.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteGetDiagnosticMethod

Returns

the requested diagnostic. This diagnostic must be freed via a call to clang_disposeDiagnostic().

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_codeCompleteGetObjCSelectorMethod
clang_codeCompleteGetObjCSelector(Results)

Returns the currently-entered selector for an Objective-C message send, formatted like "initWithFoo:bar:". Only guaranteed to return a non-empty string for CXCompletionContext_ObjCInstanceMessage and CXCompletionContext_ObjCClassMessage.

Parameters

  • Results: the code completion results to query

Returns

the selector (or partial selector) that has been entered thus far for an Objective-C message send.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_createIndexMethod
clang_createIndex(excludeDeclarationsFromPCH, displayDiagnostics)

Provides a shared context for creating translation units.

It provides two options:

  • excludeDeclarationsFromPCH: When non-zero, allows enumeration of "local" declarations (when loading any new translation units). A "local" declaration is one that belongs in the translation unit itself and not in a precompiled header that was used by the translation unit. If zero, all declarations will be enumerated.

Here is an example:

   // excludeDeclsFromPCH = 1, displayDiagnostics=1
   Idx = clang_createIndex(1, 1);
   // IndexTest.pch was produced with the following command:
   // "clang -x c IndexTest.h -emit-ast -o IndexTest.pch"
   TU = clang_createTranslationUnit(Idx, "IndexTest.pch");
   // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.pch'
   clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU),
                       TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
   clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);
   // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.c', excluding symbols
   // from 'IndexTest.pch'.
   char *args[] = { "-Xclang", "-include-pch=IndexTest.pch" };
   TU = clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(Idx, "IndexTest.c", 2, args,
                                                  0, 0);
   clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU),
                       TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
   clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);

This process of creating the 'pch', loading it separately, and using it (via -include-pch) allows 'excludeDeclsFromPCH' to remove redundant callbacks (which gives the indexer the same performance benefit as the compiler).

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFileMethod
clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(CIdx, source_filename, num_clang_command_line_args, clang_command_line_args, num_unsaved_files, unsaved_files)

Return the CXTranslationUnit for a given source file and the provided command line arguments one would pass to the compiler.

Note: The 'source_filename' argument is optional. If the caller provides a NULL pointer, the name of the source file is expected to reside in the specified command line arguments.

Note: When encountered in 'clang_command_line_args', the following options are ignored:

'-c' '-emit-ast' '-fsyntax-only' '-o <output file>' (both '-o' and '<output file>' are ignored)

Parameters

  • CIdx: The index object with which the translation unit will be associated.
  • source_filename: The name of the source file to load, or NULL if the source file is included in clang_command_line_args.
  • num_clang_command_line_args: The number of command-line arguments in clang_command_line_args.
  • clang_command_line_args: The command-line arguments that would be passed to the clang executable if it were being invoked out-of-process. These command-line options will be parsed and will affect how the translation unit is parsed. Note that the following options are ignored: '-c', '-emit-ast', '-fsyntax-only' (which is the default), and '-o <output file>'.
  • num_unsaved_files: the number of unsaved file entries in unsaved_files.
  • unsaved_files: the files that have not yet been saved to disk but may be required for code completion, including the contents of those files. The contents and name of these files (as specified by CXUnsavedFile) are copied when necessary, so the client only needs to guarantee their validity until the call to this function returns.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_defaultEditingTranslationUnitOptionsMethod
clang_defaultEditingTranslationUnitOptions()

Returns the set of flags that is suitable for parsing a translation unit that is being edited.

The set of flags returned provide options for clang_parseTranslationUnit() to indicate that the translation unit is likely to be reparsed many times, either explicitly (via clang_reparseTranslationUnit()) or implicitly (e.g., by code completion (clang_codeCompletionAt())). The returned flag set contains an unspecified set of optimizations (e.g., the precompiled preamble) geared toward improving the performance of these routines. The set of optimizations enabled may change from one version to the next.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_defaultReparseOptionsMethod
clang_defaultReparseOptions(TU)

Returns the set of flags that is suitable for reparsing a translation unit.

The set of flags returned provide options for clang_reparseTranslationUnit() by default. The returned flag set contains an unspecified set of optimizations geared toward common uses of reparsing. The set of optimizations enabled may change from one version to the next.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_defaultSaveOptionsMethod
clang_defaultSaveOptions(TU)

Returns the set of flags that is suitable for saving a translation unit.

clang_formatDiagnostic(Diagnostic, Options)

Format the given diagnostic in a manner that is suitable for display.

This routine will format the given diagnostic to a string, rendering the diagnostic according to the various options given. The clang_defaultDiagnosticDisplayOptions() function returns the set of options that most closely mimics the behavior of the clang compiler.

Parameters

  • Diagnostic: The diagnostic to print.
  • Options: A set of options that control the diagnostic display, created by combining CXDiagnosticDisplayOptions values.

Returns

A new string containing for formatted diagnostic.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getAllSkippedRangesMethod
clang_getAllSkippedRanges(tu)

Retrieve all ranges from all files that were skipped by the preprocessor.

The preprocessor will skip lines when they are surrounded by an if/ifdef/ifndef directive whose condition does not evaluate to true.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getArgTypeMethod
clang_getArgType(T, i)

Retrieve the type of a parameter of a function type.

If a non-function type is passed in or the function does not have enough parameters, an invalid type is returned.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCXXAccessSpecifierMethod
clang_getCXXAccessSpecifier(arg1)

Returns the access control level for the referenced object.

If the cursor refers to a C++ declaration, its access control level within its parent scope is returned. Otherwise, if the cursor refers to a base specifier or access specifier, the specifier itself is returned.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCanonicalCursorMethod
clang_getCanonicalCursor(arg1)

Retrieve the canonical cursor corresponding to the given cursor.

In the C family of languages, many kinds of entities can be declared several times within a single translation unit. For example, a structure type can be forward-declared (possibly multiple times) and later defined:

 struct X;
 struct X;
 struct X {
   int member;
 };

The declarations and the definition of X are represented by three different cursors, all of which are declarations of the same underlying entity. One of these cursor is considered the "canonical" cursor, which is effectively the representative for the underlying entity. One can determine if two cursors are declarations of the same underlying entity by comparing their canonical cursors.

Returns

The canonical cursor for the entity referred to by the given cursor.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCanonicalTypeMethod
clang_getCanonicalType(T)

Return the canonical type for a CXType.

Clang's type system explicitly models typedefs and all the ways a specific type can be represented. The canonical type is the underlying type with all the "sugar" removed. For example, if 'T' is a typedef for 'int', the canonical type for 'T' would be 'int'.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionAnnotationMethod
clang_getCompletionAnnotation(completion_string, annotation_number)

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionAvailabilityMethod
clang_getCompletionAvailability(completion_string)

Parameters

  • completion_string: The completion string to query.

Returns

The availability of the completion string.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionChunkCompletionStringMethod
clang_getCompletionChunkCompletionString(completion_string, chunk_number)

Retrieve the completion string associated with a particular chunk within a completion string.

Parameters

  • completion_string: the completion string to query.
  • chunk_number: the 0-based index of the chunk in the completion string.

Returns

the completion string associated with the chunk at index chunk_number.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionChunkKindMethod
clang_getCompletionChunkKind(completion_string, chunk_number)

Determine the kind of a particular chunk within a completion string.

Parameters

  • completion_string: the completion string to query.
  • chunk_number: the 0-based index of the chunk in the completion string.

Returns

the kind of the chunk at the index chunk_number.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionChunkTextMethod
clang_getCompletionChunkText(completion_string, chunk_number)

Retrieve the text associated with a particular chunk within a completion string.

Parameters

  • completion_string: the completion string to query.
  • chunk_number: the 0-based index of the chunk in the completion string.

Returns

the text associated with the chunk at index chunk_number.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionFixItMethod
clang_getCompletionFixIt(results, completion_index, fixit_index, replacement_range)

Fix-its that must be applied before inserting the text for the corresponding completion.

By default, clang_codeCompleteAt() only returns completions with empty fix-its. Extra completions with non-empty fix-its should be explicitly requested by setting CXCodeComplete_IncludeCompletionsWithFixIts.

For the clients to be able to compute position of the cursor after applying fix-its, the following conditions are guaranteed to hold for replacement_range of the stored fix-its: - Ranges in the fix-its are guaranteed to never contain the completion point (or identifier under completion point, if any) inside them, except at the start or at the end of the range. - If a fix-it range starts or ends with completion point (or starts or ends after the identifier under completion point), it will contain at least one character. It allows to unambiguously recompute completion point after applying the fix-it.

The intuition is that provided fix-its change code around the identifier we complete, but are not allowed to touch the identifier itself or the completion point. One example of completions with corrections are the ones replacing '.' with '->' and vice versa:

std::unique_ptr<std::vector<int>> vec_ptr; In 'vec_ptr.^', one of the completions is 'push_back', it requires replacing '.' with '->'. In 'vec_ptr->^', one of the completions is 'release', it requires replacing '->' with '.'.

Parameters

  • results: The structure keeping all completion results
  • completion_index: The index of the completion
  • fixit_index: The index of the fix-it for the completion at completion_index
  • replacement_range: The fix-it range that must be replaced before the completion at completion_index can be applied

Returns

The fix-it string that must replace the code at replacement_range before the completion at completion_index can be applied

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionNumAnnotationsMethod
clang_getCompletionNumAnnotations(completion_string)

Retrieve the number of annotations associated with the given completion string.

Parameters

  • completion_string: the completion string to query.

  • completion_index: The index of the completion

Returns

The number of fix-its which must be applied before the completion at completion_index can be applied

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionParentMethod
clang_getCompletionParent(completion_string, kind)

Retrieve the parent context of the given completion string.

The parent context of a completion string is the semantic parent of the declaration (if any) that the code completion represents. For example, a code completion for an Objective-C method would have the method's class or protocol as its context.

Parameters

  • completion_string: The code completion string whose parent is being queried.
  • kind: DEPRECATED: always set to CXCursor_NotImplemented if non-NULL.

Returns

The name of the completion parent, e.g., "NSObject" if the completion string represents a method in the NSObject class.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCompletionPriorityMethod
clang_getCompletionPriority(completion_string)

Determine the priority of this code completion.

The priority of a code completion indicates how likely it is that this particular completion is the completion that the user will select. The priority is selected by various internal heuristics.

Parameters

  • completion_string: The completion string to query.

Returns

The priority of this completion string. Smaller values indicate higher-priority (more likely) completions.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorMethod
clang_getCursor(arg1, arg2)

Map a source location to the cursor that describes the entity at that location in the source code.

clang_getCursor() maps an arbitrary source location within a translation unit down to the most specific cursor that describes the entity at that location. For example, given an expression x + y, invoking clang_getCursor() with a source location pointing to "x" will return the cursor for "x"; similarly for "y". If the cursor points anywhere between "x" or "y" (e.g., on the + or the whitespace around it), clang_getCursor() will return a cursor referring to the "+" expression.

Returns

a cursor representing the entity at the given source location, or a NULL cursor if no such entity can be found.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorAvailabilityMethod
clang_getCursorAvailability(cursor)

Determine the availability of the entity that this cursor refers to, taking the current target platform into account.

Parameters

  • cursor: The cursor to query.

Returns

The availability of the cursor.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorCompletionStringMethod
clang_getCursorCompletionString(cursor)

Retrieve a completion string for an arbitrary declaration or macro definition cursor.

Parameters

  • cursor: The cursor to query.

Returns

A non-context-sensitive completion string for declaration and macro definition cursors, or NULL for other kinds of cursors.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorDefinitionMethod
clang_getCursorDefinition(arg1)

For a cursor that is either a reference to or a declaration of some entity, retrieve a cursor that describes the definition of that entity.

Some entities can be declared multiple times within a translation unit, but only one of those declarations can also be a definition. For example, given:

  int f(int, int);
  int g(int x, int y) { return f(x, y); }
  int f(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
  int f(int, int);

there are three declarations of the function "f", but only the second one is a definition. The clang_getCursorDefinition() function will take any cursor pointing to a declaration of "f" (the first or fourth lines of the example) or a cursor referenced that uses "f" (the call to "f' inside "g") and will return a declaration cursor pointing to the definition (the second "f" declaration).

If given a cursor for which there is no corresponding definition, e.g., because there is no definition of that entity within this translation unit, returns a NULL cursor.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorDisplayNameMethod
clang_getCursorDisplayName(arg1)

Retrieve the display name for the entity referenced by this cursor.

The display name contains extra information that helps identify the cursor, such as the parameters of a function or template or the arguments of a class template specialization.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorExtentMethod
clang_getCursorExtent(arg1)

Retrieve the physical extent of the source construct referenced by the given cursor.

The extent of a cursor starts with the file/line/column pointing at the first character within the source construct that the cursor refers to and ends with the last character within that source construct. For a declaration, the extent covers the declaration itself. For a reference, the extent covers the location of the reference (e.g., where the referenced entity was actually used).

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorLexicalParentMethod
clang_getCursorLexicalParent(cursor)

Determine the lexical parent of the given cursor.

The lexical parent of a cursor is the cursor in which the given cursor was actually written. For many declarations, the lexical and semantic parents are equivalent (the semantic parent is returned by clang_getCursorSemanticParent()). They diverge when declarations or definitions are provided out-of-line. For example:

 class C {
  void f();
 };
 void C::f() { }

In the out-of-line definition of C::f, the semantic parent is the class C, of which this function is a member. The lexical parent is the place where the declaration actually occurs in the source code; in this case, the definition occurs in the translation unit. In general, the lexical parent for a given entity can change without affecting the semantics of the program, and the lexical parent of different declarations of the same entity may be different. Changing the semantic parent of a declaration, on the other hand, can have a major impact on semantics, and redeclarations of a particular entity should all have the same semantic context.

In the example above, both declarations of C::f have C as their semantic context, while the lexical context of the first C::f is C and the lexical context of the second C::f is the translation unit.

For declarations written in the global scope, the lexical parent is the translation unit.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorLocationMethod
clang_getCursorLocation(arg1)

Retrieve the physical location of the source constructor referenced by the given cursor.

The location of a declaration is typically the location of the name of that declaration, where the name of that declaration would occur if it is unnamed, or some keyword that introduces that particular declaration. The location of a reference is where that reference occurs within the source code.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorPlatformAvailabilityMethod
clang_getCursorPlatformAvailability(cursor, always_deprecated, deprecated_message, always_unavailable, unavailable_message, availability, availability_size)

Determine the availability of the entity that this cursor refers to on any platforms for which availability information is known.

Note that the client is responsible for calling clang_disposeCXPlatformAvailability to free each of the platform-availability structures returned. There are min(N, availability_size) such structures.

Parameters

  • cursor: The cursor to query.
  • always_deprecated: If non-NULL, will be set to indicate whether the entity is deprecated on all platforms.
  • deprecated_message: If non-NULL, will be set to the message text provided along with the unconditional deprecation of this entity. The client is responsible for deallocating this string.
  • always_unavailable: If non-NULL, will be set to indicate whether the entity is unavailable on all platforms.
  • unavailable_message: If non-NULL, will be set to the message text provided along with the unconditional unavailability of this entity. The client is responsible for deallocating this string.
  • availability: If non-NULL, an array of CXPlatformAvailability instances that will be populated with platform availability information, up to either the number of platforms for which availability information is available (as returned by this function) or availability_size, whichever is smaller.
  • availability_size: The number of elements available in the availability array.

Returns

The number of platforms (N) for which availability information is available (which is unrelated to availability_size).

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorPrettyPrintedMethod
clang_getCursorPrettyPrinted(Cursor, Policy)

Pretty print declarations.

Parameters

  • Cursor: The cursor representing a declaration.
  • Policy: The policy to control the entities being printed. If NULL, a default policy is used.

Returns

The pretty printed declaration or the empty string for other cursors.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorReferenceNameRangeMethod
clang_getCursorReferenceNameRange(C, NameFlags, PieceIndex)

Given a cursor that references something else, return the source range covering that reference.

Parameters

  • C: A cursor pointing to a member reference, a declaration reference, or an operator call.
  • NameFlags: A bitset with three independent flags: CXNameRange_WantQualifier, CXNameRange_WantTemplateArgs, and CXNameRange_WantSinglePiece.
  • PieceIndex: For contiguous names or when passing the flag CXNameRange_WantSinglePiece, only one piece with index 0 is available. When the CXNameRange_WantSinglePiece flag is not passed for a non-contiguous names, this index can be used to retrieve the individual pieces of the name. See also CXNameRange_WantSinglePiece.

Returns

The piece of the name pointed to by the given cursor. If there is no name, or if the PieceIndex is out-of-range, a null-cursor will be returned.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorReferencedMethod
clang_getCursorReferenced(arg1)

For a cursor that is a reference, retrieve a cursor representing the entity that it references.

Reference cursors refer to other entities in the AST. For example, an Objective-C superclass reference cursor refers to an Objective-C class. This function produces the cursor for the Objective-C class from the cursor for the superclass reference. If the input cursor is a declaration or definition, it returns that declaration or definition unchanged. Otherwise, returns the NULL cursor.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorSemanticParentMethod
clang_getCursorSemanticParent(cursor)

Determine the semantic parent of the given cursor.

The semantic parent of a cursor is the cursor that semantically contains the given cursor. For many declarations, the lexical and semantic parents are equivalent (the lexical parent is returned by clang_getCursorLexicalParent()). They diverge when declarations or definitions are provided out-of-line. For example:

 class C {
  void f();
 };
 void C::f() { }

In the out-of-line definition of C::f, the semantic parent is the class C, of which this function is a member. The lexical parent is the place where the declaration actually occurs in the source code; in this case, the definition occurs in the translation unit. In general, the lexical parent for a given entity can change without affecting the semantics of the program, and the lexical parent of different declarations of the same entity may be different. Changing the semantic parent of a declaration, on the other hand, can have a major impact on semantics, and redeclarations of a particular entity should all have the same semantic context.

In the example above, both declarations of C::f have C as their semantic context, while the lexical context of the first C::f is C and the lexical context of the second C::f is the translation unit.

For global declarations, the semantic parent is the translation unit.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorUSRMethod
clang_getCursorUSR(arg1)

Retrieve a Unified Symbol Resolution (USR) for the entity referenced by the given cursor.

A Unified Symbol Resolution (USR) is a string that identifies a particular entity (function, class, variable, etc.) within a program. USRs can be compared across translation units to determine, e.g., when references in one translation refer to an entity defined in another translation unit.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getCursorVisibilityMethod
clang_getCursorVisibility(cursor)

the requested diagnostic. This diagnostic must be freed via a call to clang_disposeDiagnostic().

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getDiagnosticCategoryMethod
clang_getDiagnosticCategory(arg1)

Retrieve the category number for this diagnostic.

Diagnostics can be categorized into groups along with other, related diagnostics (e.g., diagnostics under the same warning flag). This routine retrieves the category number for the given diagnostic.

Returns

The number of the category that contains this diagnostic, or zero if this diagnostic is uncategorized.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getDiagnosticFixItMethod
clang_getDiagnosticFixIt(Diagnostic, FixIt, ReplacementRange)

Retrieve the replacement information for a given fix-it.

Fix-its are described in terms of a source range whose contents should be replaced by a string. This approach generalizes over three kinds of operations: removal of source code (the range covers the code to be removed and the replacement string is empty), replacement of source code (the range covers the code to be replaced and the replacement string provides the new code), and insertion (both the start and end of the range point at the insertion location, and the replacement string provides the text to insert).

Parameters

  • Diagnostic: The diagnostic whose fix-its are being queried.
  • FixIt: The zero-based index of the fix-it.
  • ReplacementRange: The source range whose contents will be replaced with the returned replacement string. Note that source ranges are half-open ranges [a, b), so the source code should be replaced from a and up to (but not including) b.

Returns

A string containing text that should be replace the source code indicated by the ReplacementRange.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getDiagnosticLocationMethod
clang_getDiagnosticLocation(arg1)

Retrieve the source location of the given diagnostic.

This location is where Clang would print the caret ('^') when displaying the diagnostic on the command line.

  • Disable: If non-NULL, will be set to the option that disables this diagnostic (if any).

Returns

A string that contains the command-line option used to enable this warning, such as "-Wconversion" or "-pedantic".

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getDiagnosticRangeMethod
clang_getDiagnosticRange(Diagnostic, Range)

Retrieve a source range associated with the diagnostic.

A diagnostic's source ranges highlight important elements in the source code. On the command line, Clang displays source ranges by underlining them with '~' characters.

Parameters

  • Diagnostic: the diagnostic whose range is being extracted.
  • Range: the zero-based index specifying which range to

Returns

the requested source range.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getElementTypeMethod

Return the element type of an array, complex, or vector type.

If a type is passed in that is not an array, complex, or vector type, an invalid type is returned.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getEnumConstantDeclUnsignedValueMethod
clang_getEnumConstantDeclUnsignedValue(C)

Retrieve the integer value of an enum constant declaration as an unsigned long long.

If the cursor does not reference an enum constant declaration, ULLONG_MAX is returned. Since this is also potentially a valid constant value, the kind of the cursor must be verified before calling this function.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getEnumConstantDeclValueMethod
clang_getEnumConstantDeclValue(C)

Retrieve the integer value of an enum constant declaration as a signed long long.

If the cursor does not reference an enum constant declaration, LLONG_MIN is returned. Since this is also potentially a valid constant value, the kind of the cursor must be verified before calling this function.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getOverriddenCursorsMethod
clang_getOverriddenCursors(cursor, overridden, num_overridden)

Determine the set of methods that are overridden by the given method.

In both Objective-C and C++, a method (aka virtual member function, in C++) can override a virtual method in a base class. For Objective-C, a method is said to override any method in the class's base class, its protocols, or its categories' protocols, that has the same selector and is of the same kind (class or instance). If no such method exists, the search continues to the class's superclass, its protocols, and its categories, and so on. A method from an Objective-C implementation is considered to override the same methods as its corresponding method in the interface.

For C++, a virtual member function overrides any virtual member function with the same signature that occurs in its base classes. With multiple inheritance, a virtual member function can override several virtual member functions coming from different base classes.

In all cases, this function determines the immediate overridden method, rather than all of the overridden methods. For example, if a method is originally declared in a class A, then overridden in B (which in inherits from A) and also in C (which inherited from B), then the only overridden method returned from this function when invoked on C's method will be B's method. The client may then invoke this function again, given the previously-found overridden methods, to map out the complete method-override set.

Parameters

  • cursor: A cursor representing an Objective-C or C++ method. This routine will compute the set of methods that this method overrides.
  • overridden: A pointer whose pointee will be replaced with a pointer to an array of cursors, representing the set of overridden methods. If there are no overridden methods, the pointee will be set to NULL. The pointee must be freed via a call to clang_disposeOverriddenCursors().
  • num_overridden: A pointer to the number of overridden functions, will be set to the number of overridden functions in the array pointed to by overridden.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getPresumedLocationMethod
clang_getPresumedLocation(location, filename, line, column)

Retrieve the file, line and column represented by the given source location, as specified in a # line directive.

Example: given the following source code in a file somefile.c

 #123 "dummy.c" 1
 static int func(void)
 {
     return 0;
 }

the location information returned by this function would be

File: dummy.c Line: 124 Column: 12

whereas clang_getExpansionLocation would have returned

File: somefile.c Line: 3 Column: 12

Parameters

  • location: the location within a source file that will be decomposed into its parts.
  • filename: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the filename of the source location. Note that filenames returned will be for "virtual" files, which don't necessarily exist on the machine running clang - e.g. when parsing preprocessed output obtained from a different environment. If a non-NULL value is passed in, remember to dispose of the returned value using clang_disposeString() once you've finished with it. For an invalid source location, an empty string is returned.
  • line: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the line number of the source location. For an invalid source location, zero is returned.
  • column: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the column number of the source location. For an invalid source location, zero is returned.

Clang.LibClang.clang_getRemappingsMethod
clang_getRemappings(path)

Retrieve a remapping.

Parameters

  • path: the path that contains metadata about remappings.

Returns

the requested remapping. This remapping must be freed via a call to clang_remap_dispose(). Can return NULL if an error occurred.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getRemappingsFromFileListMethod
clang_getRemappingsFromFileList(filePaths, numFiles)

Retrieve a remapping.

Parameters

  • filePaths: pointer to an array of file paths containing remapping info.
  • numFiles: number of file paths.

Returns

the requested remapping. This remapping must be freed via a call to clang_remap_dispose(). Can return NULL if an error occurred.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getSkippedRangesMethod
clang_getSkippedRanges(tu, file)

Retrieve all ranges that were skipped by the preprocessor.

The preprocessor will skip lines when they are surrounded by an if/ifdef/ifndef directive whose condition does not evaluate to true.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getSpecializedCursorTemplateMethod
clang_getSpecializedCursorTemplate(C)

Given a cursor that may represent a specialization or instantiation of a template, retrieve the cursor that represents the template that it specializes or from which it was instantiated.

This routine determines the template involved both for explicit specializations of templates and for implicit instantiations of the template, both of which are referred to as "specializations". For a class template specialization (e.g., std::vector<bool>), this routine will return either the primary template (std::vector) or, if the specialization was instantiated from a class template partial specialization, the class template partial specialization. For a class template partial specialization and a function template specialization (including instantiations), this this routine will return the specialized template.

For members of a class template (e.g., member functions, member classes, or static data members), returns the specialized or instantiated member. Although not strictly "templates" in the C++ language, members of class templates have the same notions of specializations and instantiations that templates do, so this routine treats them similarly.

Parameters

  • C: A cursor that may be a specialization of a template or a member of a template.

Returns

If the given cursor is a specialization or instantiation of a template or a member thereof, the template or member that it specializes or from which it was instantiated. Otherwise, returns a NULL cursor.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getSpellingLocationMethod
clang_getSpellingLocation(location, file, line, column, offset)

Retrieve the file, line, column, and offset represented by the given source location.

If the location refers into a macro instantiation, return where the location was originally spelled in the source file.

Parameters

  • location: the location within a source file that will be decomposed into its parts.
  • file: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the file to which the given source location points.
  • line: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the line to which the given source location points.
  • column: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the column to which the given source location points.
  • offset: [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the offset into the buffer to which the given source location points.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getTemplateCursorKindMethod
clang_getTemplateCursorKind(C)

Given a cursor that represents a template, determine the cursor kind of the specializations would be generated by instantiating the template.

This routine can be used to determine what flavor of function template, class template, or class template partial specialization is stored in the cursor. For example, it can describe whether a class template cursor is declared with "struct", "class" or "union".

Parameters

  • C: The cursor to query. This cursor should represent a template declaration.

Returns

The cursor kind of the specializations that would be generated by instantiating the template C. If C is not a template, returns CXCursor_NoDeclFound.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getTokenMethod
clang_getToken(TU, Location)

Get the raw lexical token starting with the given location.

Parameters

  • TU: the translation unit whose text is being tokenized.
  • Location: the source location with which the token starts.

Returns

The token starting with the given location or NULL if no such token exist. The returned pointer must be freed with clang_disposeTokens before the translation unit is destroyed.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_getTokenSpellingMethod
clang_getTokenSpelling(arg1, arg2)

Determine the spelling of the given token.

The spelling of a token is the textual representation of that token, e.g., the text of an identifier or keyword.

source

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_indexSourceFileMethod
clang_indexSourceFile(arg1, client_data, index_callbacks, index_callbacks_size, index_options, source_filename, command_line_args, num_command_line_args, unsaved_files, num_unsaved_files, out_TU, TU_options)

Index the given source file and the translation unit corresponding to that file via callbacks implemented through #IndexerCallbacks.

The rest of the parameters are the same as #clang_parseTranslationUnit.

Parameters

  • client_data: pointer data supplied by the client, which will be passed to the invoked callbacks.
  • index_callbacks: Pointer to indexing callbacks that the client implements.
  • index_callbacks_size: Size of #IndexerCallbacks structure that gets passed in index_callbacks.
  • index_options: A bitmask of options that affects how indexing is performed. This should be a bitwise OR of the CXIndexOpt_XXX flags.
  • out_TU:[out] pointer to store a CXTranslationUnit that can be reused after indexing is finished. Set to NULL if you do not require it.

Returns

0 on success or if there were errors from which the compiler could recover. If there is a failure from which there is no recovery, returns a non-zero CXErrorCode.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_indexSourceFileFullArgvMethod
clang_indexSourceFileFullArgv(arg1, client_data, index_callbacks, index_callbacks_size, index_options, source_filename, command_line_args, num_command_line_args, unsaved_files, num_unsaved_files, out_TU, TU_options)

Same as clang_indexSourceFile but requires a full command line for command_line_args including argv[0]. This is useful if the standard library paths are relative to the binary.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_indexTranslationUnitMethod
clang_indexTranslationUnit(arg1, client_data, index_callbacks, index_callbacks_size, index_options, arg6)

Index the given translation unit via callbacks implemented through #IndexerCallbacks.

The order of callback invocations is not guaranteed to be the same as when indexing a source file. The high level order will be:

-Preprocessor callbacks invocations -Declaration/reference callbacks invocations -Diagnostic callback invocations

The parameters are the same as #clang_indexSourceFile.

Returns

If there is a failure from which there is no recovery, returns non-zero, otherwise returns 0.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_isInvalidDeclarationMethod
clang_isInvalidDeclaration(arg1)

Returns

non-zero if the cursor represents a declaration and it is invalid, otherwise NULL.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_isReferenceMethod
clang_isReference(arg1)

Determine whether the given cursor kind represents a simple reference.

Note that other kinds of cursors (such as expressions) can also refer to other cursors. Use clang_getCursorReferenced() to determine whether a particular cursor refers to another entity.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_loadDiagnosticsMethod
clang_loadDiagnostics(file, error, errorString)

Deserialize a set of diagnostics from a Clang diagnostics bitcode file.

Parameters

  • file: The name of the file to deserialize.
  • error: A pointer to a enum value recording if there was a problem deserializing the diagnostics.
  • errorString: A pointer to a CXString for recording the error string if the file was not successfully loaded.

Returns

A loaded CXDiagnosticSet if successful, and NULL otherwise. These diagnostics should be released using clang_disposeDiagnosticSet().

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_parseTranslationUnit2Method
clang_parseTranslationUnit2(CIdx, source_filename, command_line_args, num_command_line_args, unsaved_files, num_unsaved_files, options, out_TU)

Parse the given source file and the translation unit corresponding to that file.

This routine is the main entry point for the Clang C API, providing the ability to parse a source file into a translation unit that can then be queried by other functions in the API. This routine accepts a set of command-line arguments so that the compilation can be configured in the same way that the compiler is configured on the command line.

Parameters

  • CIdx: The index object with which the translation unit will be associated.
  • source_filename: The name of the source file to load, or NULL if the source file is included in command_line_args.
  • command_line_args: The command-line arguments that would be passed to the clang executable if it were being invoked out-of-process. These command-line options will be parsed and will affect how the translation unit is parsed. Note that the following options are ignored: '-c', '-emit-ast', '-fsyntax-only' (which is the default), and '-o <output file>'.
  • num_command_line_args: The number of command-line arguments in command_line_args.
  • unsaved_files: the files that have not yet been saved to disk but may be required for parsing, including the contents of those files. The contents and name of these files (as specified by CXUnsavedFile) are copied when necessary, so the client only needs to guarantee their validity until the call to this function returns.
  • num_unsaved_files: the number of unsaved file entries in unsaved_files.
  • options: A bitmask of options that affects how the translation unit is managed but not its compilation. This should be a bitwise OR of the CXTranslationUnit_XXX flags.
  • out_TU:[out] A non-NULL pointer to store the created CXTranslationUnit, describing the parsed code and containing any diagnostics produced by the compiler.

Returns

Zero on success, otherwise returns an error code.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_remap_getFilenamesMethod
clang_remap_getFilenames(arg1, index, original, transformed)

Get the original and the associated filename from the remapping.

Parameters

  • original: If non-NULL, will be set to the original filename.
  • transformed: If non-NULL, will be set to the filename that the original is associated with.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_reparseTranslationUnitMethod
clang_reparseTranslationUnit(TU, num_unsaved_files, unsaved_files, options)

Reparse the source files that produced this translation unit.

This routine can be used to re-parse the source files that originally created the given translation unit, for example because those source files have changed (either on disk or as passed via unsaved_files). The source code will be reparsed with the same command-line options as it was originally parsed.

Reparsing a translation unit invalidates all cursors and source locations that refer into that translation unit. This makes reparsing a translation unit semantically equivalent to destroying the translation unit and then creating a new translation unit with the same command-line arguments. However, it may be more efficient to reparse a translation unit using this routine.

Parameters

  • TU: The translation unit whose contents will be re-parsed. The translation unit must originally have been built with clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile().
  • num_unsaved_files: The number of unsaved file entries in unsaved_files.
  • unsaved_files: The files that have not yet been saved to disk but may be required for parsing, including the contents of those files. The contents and name of these files (as specified by CXUnsavedFile) are copied when necessary, so the client only needs to guarantee their validity until the call to this function returns.
  • options: A bitset of options composed of the flags in CXReparse_Flags. The function clang_defaultReparseOptions() produces a default set of options recommended for most uses, based on the translation unit.

Returns

0 if the sources could be reparsed. A non-zero error code will be returned if reparsing was impossible, such that the translation unit is invalid. In such cases, the only valid call for TU is clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU). The error codes returned by this routine are described by the CXErrorCode enum.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_saveTranslationUnitMethod
clang_saveTranslationUnit(TU, FileName, options)

Saves a translation unit into a serialized representation of that translation unit on disk.

Any translation unit that was parsed without error can be saved into a file. The translation unit can then be deserialized into a new CXTranslationUnit with clang_createTranslationUnit() or, if it is an incomplete translation unit that corresponds to a header, used as a precompiled header when parsing other translation units.

Parameters

  • TU: The translation unit to save.
  • FileName: The file to which the translation unit will be saved.
  • options: A bitmask of options that affects how the translation unit is saved. This should be a bitwise OR of the CXSaveTranslationUnit_XXX flags.

Returns

A value that will match one of the enumerators of the CXSaveError enumeration. Zero (CXSaveError_None) indicates that the translation unit was saved successfully, while a non-zero value indicates that a problem occurred.

source
Clang.LibClang.clang_sortCodeCompletionResultsMethod

Tokenize the source code described by the given range into raw lexical tokens.

Parameters

  • TU: the translation unit whose text is being tokenized.
  • Range: the source range in which text should be tokenized. All of the tokens produced by tokenization will fall within this source range,
  • Tokens: this pointer will be set to point to the array of tokens that occur within the given source range. The returned pointer must be freed with clang_disposeTokens() before the translation unit is destroyed.
  • NumTokens: will be set to the number of tokens in the *Tokens array.
source
Clang.LibClang.clang_visitChildrenMethod
clang_visitChildren(parent, visitor, client_data)

Visit the children of a particular cursor.

This function visits all the direct children of the given cursor, invoking the given visitor function with the cursors of each visited child. The traversal may be recursive, if the visitor returns CXChildVisit_Recurse. The traversal may also be ended prematurely, if the visitor returns CXChildVisit_Break.

Parameters

  • parent: the cursor whose child may be visited. All kinds of cursors can be visited, including invalid cursors (which, by definition, have no children).
  • visitor: the visitor function that will be invoked for each child of parent.
  • client_data: pointer data supplied by the client, which will be passed to the visitor each time it is invoked.

Returns

a non-zero value if the traversal was terminated prematurely by the visitor returning CXChildVisit_Break.

source
Clang.LibClang.CXCommentKindType
CXCommentKind

Describes the type of the comment AST node (CXComment). A comment node can be considered block content (e. g., paragraph), inline content (plain text) or neither (the root AST node).

EnumeratorNote
CXComment_NullNull comment. No AST node is constructed at the requested location because there is no text or a syntax error.
CXComment_TextPlain text. Inline content.
CXComment_InlineCommandA command with word-like arguments that is considered inline content. For example: \c command.
CXComment_HTMLStartTagHTML start tag with attributes (name-value pairs). Considered inline content. For example: c++ <br> <br /> <a href="http://example.org/">
CXComment_HTMLEndTagHTML end tag. Considered inline content. For example: c++ </a>
CXComment_ParagraphA paragraph, contains inline comment. The paragraph itself is block content.
CXComment_BlockCommandA command that has zero or more word-like arguments (number of word-like arguments depends on command name) and a paragraph as an argument. Block command is block content. Paragraph argument is also a child of the block command. For example: 0 word-like arguments and a paragraph argument. AST nodes of special kinds that parser knows about (e. g., \param command) have their own node kinds.
CXComment_ParamCommandA \param or \arg command that describes the function parameter (name, passing direction, description). For example: \param [in] ParamName description.
CXComment_TParamCommandA \tparam command that describes a template parameter (name and description). For example: \tparam T description.

source
Clang.LibClang.CXCompileCommandsType

Contains the results of a search in the compilation database

When searching for the compile command for a file, the compilation db can return several commands, as the file may have been compiled with different options in different places of the project. This choice of compile commands is wrapped in this opaque data structure. It must be freed by clang_CompileCommands_dispose.

source
Clang.LibClang.CXCompletionChunkKindType
CXCompletionChunkKind

Describes a single piece of text within a code-completion string.

Each "chunk" within a code-completion string (CXCompletionString) is either a piece of text with a specific "kind" that describes how that text should be interpreted by the client or is another completion string.

EnumeratorNote
CXCompletionChunk_OptionalA code-completion string that describes "optional" text that could be a part of the template (but is not required). The Optional chunk is the only kind of chunk that has a code-completion string for its representation, which is accessible via clang_getCompletionChunkCompletionString(). The code-completion string describes an additional part of the template that is completely optional. For example, optional chunks can be used to describe the placeholders for arguments that match up with defaulted function parameters, e.g. given: c++ void f(int x, float y = 3.14, double z = 2.71828); The code-completion string for this function would contain: - a TypedText chunk for "f". - a LeftParen chunk for "(". - a Placeholder chunk for "int x" - an Optional chunk containing the remaining defaulted arguments, e.g., - a Comma chunk for "," - a Placeholder chunk for "float y" - an Optional chunk containing the last defaulted argument: - a Comma chunk for "," - a Placeholder chunk for "double z" - a RightParen chunk for ")" There are many ways to handle Optional chunks. Two simple approaches are: - Completely ignore optional chunks, in which case the template for the function "f" would only include the first parameter ("int x"). - Fully expand all optional chunks, in which case the template for the function "f" would have all of the parameters.
CXCompletionChunk_TypedTextText that a user would be expected to type to get this code-completion result. There will be exactly one "typed text" chunk in a semantic string, which will typically provide the spelling of a keyword or the name of a declaration that could be used at the current code point. Clients are expected to filter the code-completion results based on the text in this chunk.
CXCompletionChunk_TextText that should be inserted as part of a code-completion result. A "text" chunk represents text that is part of the template to be inserted into user code should this particular code-completion result be selected.
CXCompletionChunk_PlaceholderPlaceholder text that should be replaced by the user. A "placeholder" chunk marks a place where the user should insert text into the code-completion template. For example, placeholders might mark the function parameters for a function declaration, to indicate that the user should provide arguments for each of those parameters. The actual text in a placeholder is a suggestion for the text to display before the user replaces the placeholder with real code.
CXCompletionChunk_InformativeInformative text that should be displayed but never inserted as part of the template. An "informative" chunk contains annotations that can be displayed to help the user decide whether a particular code-completion result is the right option, but which is not part of the actual template to be inserted by code completion.
CXCompletionChunk_CurrentParameterText that describes the current parameter when code-completion is referring to function call, message send, or template specialization. A "current parameter" chunk occurs when code-completion is providing information about a parameter corresponding to the argument at the code-completion point. For example, given a function c++ int add(int x, int y); and the source code add(, where the code-completion point is after the "(", the code-completion string will contain a "current parameter" chunk for "int x", indicating that the current argument will initialize that parameter. After typing further, to add(17, (where the code-completion point is after the ","), the code-completion string will contain a "current parameter" chunk to "int y".
CXCompletionChunk_LeftParenA left parenthesis ('('), used to initiate a function call or signal the beginning of a function parameter list.
CXCompletionChunk_RightParenA right parenthesis (')'), used to finish a function call or signal the end of a function parameter list.
CXCompletionChunk_LeftBracketA left bracket ('[').
CXCompletionChunk_RightBracketA right bracket (']').
CXCompletionChunk_LeftBraceA left brace ('{').
CXCompletionChunk_RightBraceA right brace ('}').
CXCompletionChunk_LeftAngleA left angle bracket ('<').
CXCompletionChunk_RightAngleA right angle bracket ('>').
CXCompletionChunk_CommaA comma separator (',').
CXCompletionChunk_ResultTypeText that specifies the result type of a given result. This special kind of informative chunk is not meant to be inserted into the text buffer. Rather, it is meant to illustrate the type that an expression using the given completion string would have.
CXCompletionChunk_ColonA colon (':').
CXCompletionChunk_SemiColonA semicolon (';').
CXCompletionChunk_EqualAn '=' sign.
CXCompletionChunk_HorizontalSpaceHorizontal space (' ').
CXCompletionChunk_VerticalSpaceVertical space ('\n'), after which it is generally a good idea to perform indentation.

Clang.LibClang.CXCompletionResultType
CXCompletionResult

A single result of code completion.

FieldNote
CursorKindThe kind of entity that this completion refers to. The cursor kind will be a macro, keyword, or a declaration (one of the *Decl cursor kinds), describing the entity that the completion is referring to. \todo In the future, we would like to provide a full cursor, to allow the client to extract additional information from declaration.
CompletionStringThe code-completion string that describes how to insert this code-completion result into the editing buffer.
source
Clang.LibClang.CXCompletionStringType

A semantic string that describes a code-completion result.

A semantic string that describes the formatting of a code-completion result as a single "template" of text that should be inserted into the source buffer when a particular code-completion result is selected. Each semantic string is made up of some number of "chunks", each of which contains some text along with a description of what that text means, e.g., the name of the entity being referenced, whether the text chunk is part of the template, or whether it is a "placeholder" that the user should replace with actual code,of a specific kind. See CXCompletionChunkKind for a description of the different kinds of chunks.

source
Clang.LibClang.CXCursorType
CXCursor

A cursor representing some element in the abstract syntax tree for a translation unit.

The cursor abstraction unifies the different kinds of entities in a program–declaration, statements, expressions, references to declarations, etc.–under a single "cursor" abstraction with a common set of operations. Common operation for a cursor include: getting the physical location in a source file where the cursor points, getting the name associated with a cursor, and retrieving cursors for any child nodes of a particular cursor.

Cursors can be produced in two specific ways. clang_getTranslationUnitCursor() produces a cursor for a translation unit, from which one can use clang_visitChildren() to explore the rest of the translation unit. clang_getCursor() maps from a physical source location to the entity that resides at that location, allowing one to map from the source code into the AST.

source
Clang.LibClang.CXCursorKindType
CXCursorKind

Describes the kind of entity that a cursor refers to.

EnumeratorNote

CXCursor_ObjCClassRef
CXCursor_TypeRefA reference to a type declaration. A type reference occurs anywhere where a type is named but not declared. For example, given: c++ typedef unsigned size_type; size_type size; The typedef is a declaration of size_type (CXCursor_TypedefDecl), while the type of the variable "size" is referenced. The cursor referenced by the type of size is the typedef for size_type.
CXCursor_CXXBaseSpecifier
CXCursor_TemplateRefA reference to a class template, function template, template template parameter, or class template partial specialization.
CXCursor_NamespaceRefA reference to a namespace or namespace alias.
CXCursor_MemberRefA reference to a member of a struct, union, or class that occurs in some non-expression context, e.g., a designated initializer.
CXCursor_LabelRefA reference to a labeled statement. This cursor kind is used to describe the jump to "start_over" in the goto statement in the following example: c++ start_over: ++counter; goto start_over; A label reference cursor refers to a label statement.
CXCursor_OverloadedDeclRefA reference to a set of overloaded functions or function templates that has not yet been resolved to a specific function or function template. An overloaded declaration reference cursor occurs in C++ templates where a dependent name refers to a function. For example: c++ template<typename T> void swap(T&, T&); struct X { ... }; void swap(X&, X&); template<typename T> void reverse(T* first, T* last) { while (first < last - 1) { swap(*first, *--last); ++first; } } struct Y { }; void swap(Y&, Y&); Here, the identifier "swap" is associated with an overloaded declaration reference. In the template definition, "swap" refers to either of the two "swap" functions declared above, so both results will be available. At instantiation time, "swap" may also refer to other functions found via argument-dependent lookup (e.g., the "swap" function at the end of the example). The functions clang_getNumOverloadedDecls() and clang_getOverloadedDecl() can be used to retrieve the definitions referenced by this cursor.
CXCursor_VariableRefA reference to a variable that occurs in some non-expression context, e.g., a C++ lambda capture list.

CXSaveError_TranslationErrorsIndicates that errors during translation prevented this attempt to save the translation unit. Errors that prevent the translation unit from being saved can be extracted using clang_getNumDiagnostics() and clang_getDiagnostic().
CXSaveError_InvalidTUIndicates that the translation unit to be saved was somehow invalid (e.g., NULL).

Clang.LibClang.CXSaveTranslationUnit_FlagsType
CXSaveTranslationUnit_Flags

Flags that control how translation units are saved.

The enumerators in this enumeration type are meant to be bitwise ORed together to specify which options should be used when saving the translation unit.

EnumeratorNote
CXSaveTranslationUnit_NoneUsed to indicate that no special saving options are needed.
source
Clang.LibClang.CXSymbolRoleType
CXSymbolRole

Roles that are attributed to symbol occurrences.

Internal: this currently mirrors low 9 bits of clang::index::SymbolRole with higher bits zeroed. These high bits may be exposed in the future.

Clang.LibClang.CXTokenKindType
CXTokenKind

Describes a kind of token.

EnumeratorNote
CXToken_PunctuationA token that contains some kind of punctuation.
CXToken_KeywordA language keyword.
CXToken_IdentifierAn identifier (that is not a keyword).
CXToken_LiteralA numeric, string, or character literal.
CXToken_CommentA comment.

Clang.LibClang.CXTranslationUnit_FlagsType
CXTranslationUnit_Flags

Flags that control the creation of translation units.

The enumerators in this enumeration type are meant to be bitwise ORed together to specify which options should be used when constructing the translation unit.

EnumeratorNote
CXTranslationUnit_NoneUsed to indicate that no special translation-unit options are needed.
CXTranslationUnit_DetailedPreprocessingRecordUsed to indicate that the parser should construct a "detailed" preprocessing record, including all macro definitions and instantiations. Constructing a detailed preprocessing record requires more memory and time to parse, since the information contained in the record is usually not retained. However, it can be useful for applications that require more detailed information about the behavior of the preprocessor.
CXTranslationUnit_IncompleteUsed to indicate that the translation unit is incomplete. When a translation unit is considered "incomplete", semantic analysis that is typically performed at the end of the translation unit will be suppressed. For example, this suppresses the completion of tentative declarations in C and of instantiation of implicitly-instantiation function templates in C++. This option is typically used when parsing a header with the intent of producing a precompiled header.
CXTranslationUnit_PrecompiledPreambleUsed to indicate that the translation unit should be built with an implicit precompiled header for the preamble. An implicit precompiled header is used as an optimization when a particular translation unit is likely to be reparsed many times when the sources aren't changing that often. In this case, an implicit precompiled header will be built containing all of the initial includes at the top of the main file (what we refer to as the "preamble" of the file). In subsequent parses, if the preamble or the files in it have not changed, clang_reparseTranslationUnit() will re-use the implicit precompiled header to improve parsing performance.
CXTranslationUnit_CacheCompletionResultsUsed to indicate that the translation unit should cache some code-completion results with each reparse of the source file. Caching of code-completion results is a performance optimization that introduces some overhead to reparsing but improves the performance of code-completion operations.
CXTranslationUnit_ForSerializationUsed to indicate that the translation unit will be serialized with clang_saveTranslationUnit. This option is typically used when parsing a header with the intent of producing a precompiled header.
CXTranslationUnit_CXXChainedPCHDEPRECATED: Enabled chained precompiled preambles in C++. Note: this is a temporary option that is available only while we are testing C++ precompiled preamble support. It is deprecated.
CXTranslationUnit_SkipFunctionBodiesUsed to indicate that function/method bodies should be skipped while parsing. This option can be used to search for declarations/definitions while ignoring the usages.
CXTranslationUnit_IncludeBriefCommentsInCodeCompletionUsed to indicate that brief documentation comments should be included into the set of code completions returned from this translation unit.
CXTranslationUnit_CreatePreambleOnFirstParseUsed to indicate that the precompiled preamble should be created on the first parse. Otherwise it will be created on the first reparse. This trades runtime on the first parse (serializing the preamble takes time) for reduced runtime on the second parse (can now reuse the preamble).
CXTranslationUnit_KeepGoingDo not stop processing when fatal errors are encountered. When fatal errors are encountered while parsing a translation unit, semantic analysis is typically stopped early when compiling code. A common source for fatal errors are unresolvable include files. For the purposes of an IDE, this is undesirable behavior and as much information as possible should be reported. Use this flag to enable this behavior.
CXTranslationUnit_SingleFileParseSets the preprocessor in a mode for parsing a single file only.
CXTranslationUnit_LimitSkipFunctionBodiesToPreambleUsed in combination with CXTranslationUnit_SkipFunctionBodies to constrain the skipping of function bodies to the preamble. The function bodies of the main file are not skipped.
CXTranslationUnit_IncludeAttributedTypesUsed to indicate that attributed types should be included in CXType.
CXTranslationUnit_VisitImplicitAttributesUsed to indicate that implicit attributes should be visited.
CXTranslationUnit_IgnoreNonErrorsFromIncludedFilesUsed to indicate that non-errors from included files should be ignored. If set, clang_getDiagnosticSetFromTU() will not report e.g. warnings from included files anymore. This speeds up clang_getDiagnosticSetFromTU() for the case where these warnings are not of interest, as for an IDE for example, which typically shows only the diagnostics in the main file.
CXTranslationUnit_RetainExcludedConditionalBlocksTells the preprocessor not to skip excluded conditional blocks.

EnumeratorNote
CXTypeNullability_NonNullValues of this type can never be null.
CXTypeNullability_NullableValues of this type can be null.
CXTypeNullability_UnspecifiedWhether values of this type can be null is (explicitly) unspecified. This captures a (fairly rare) case where we can't conclude anything about the nullability of the type even though it has been considered.
CXTypeNullability_InvalidNullability is not applicable to this type.
CXTypeNullability_NullableResultGenerally behaves like Nullable, except when used in a block parameter that was imported into a swift async method. There, swift will assume that the parameter can get null even if no error occured. _Nullable parameters are assumed to only get null on error.
