 *

 * facilities for parsing source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST),
 * loading already-parsed ASTs, traversing the AST, associating
 * physical source locations with elements within the AST, and other
 * facilities that support Clang-based development tools.
 *
 * This C interface to Clang will never provide all of the information
 * representation stored in Clang's C++ AST, nor should it: the intent is to
 * maintain an API that is relatively stable from one release to the next,
 * providing only the basic functionality needed to support development tools.
 *
 * To avoid namespace pollution, data types are prefixed with "CX" and
 * functions are prefixed with "clang_".

 * \brief Perform code completion at a given location in a source file.
 *
 * This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and

 * 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 \c 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 \c p
 * is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then
 * after the ">" in \c p->. When the code-completion location is afer 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 \c 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.
 *

 * necessary include paths, language-dialect switches, precompiled header

 *
 * \param complete_filename the name of the source file where code completion
 * should be performed. In many cases, this name will be the same as the
 * source filename. However, the completion filename may also be a file
 * included by the source file, which is required when producing
