39 *
40 * The C Interface to Clang provides a relatively small API that exposes
41 * facilities for parsing source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST),
42 * loading already-parsed ASTs, traversing the AST, associating
43 * physical source locations with elements within the AST, and other
44 * facilities that support Clang-based development tools.
45 *
46 * This C interface to Clang will never provide all of the information
47 * representation stored in Clang's C++ AST, nor should it: the intent is to
48 * maintain an API that is relatively stable from one release to the next,
49 * providing only the basic functionality needed to support development tools.
50 *
51 * To avoid namespace pollution, data types are prefixed with "CX" and
52 * functions are prefixed with "clang_".

136 * \brief clang_createIndex() provides a shared context for creating
137 * translation units. It provides two options:
138 *
139 * - excludeDeclarationsFromPCH: When non-zero, allows enumeration of "local"
140 * declarations (when loading any new translation units). A "local" declaration
141 * is one that belongs in the translation unit itself and not in a precompiled
142 * header that was used by the translation unit. If zero, all declarations
143 * will be enumerated.
144 *
145 * Here is an example:
146 *
147 *   // excludeDeclsFromPCH = 1, displayDiagnostics=1
148 *   Idx = clang_createIndex(1, 1);
149 *
150 *   // IndexTest.pch was produced with the following command:
151 *   // "clang -x c IndexTest.h -emit-ast -o IndexTest.pch"
152 *   TU = clang_createTranslationUnit(Idx, "IndexTest.pch");
153 *
154 *   // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.pch'
155 *   clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU),
156 *                       TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
157 *   clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);
158 *
159 *   // This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.c', excluding symbols
160 *   // from 'IndexTest.pch'.
161 *   char *args[] = { "-Xclang", "-include-pch=IndexTest.pch" };
162 *   TU = clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(Idx, "IndexTest.c", 2, args,
163 *                                                  0, 0);

165 *                       TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
166 *   clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);
167 *
168 * This process of creating the 'pch', loading it separately, and using it (via
169 * -include-pch) allows 'excludeDeclsFromPCH' to remove redundant callbacks
170 * (which gives the indexer the same performance benefit as the compiler).

539 * \brief Retrieve the replacement information for a given fix-it.
540 *
541 * Fix-its are described in terms of a source range whose contents
542 * should be replaced by a string. This approach generalizes over
543 * three kinds of operations: removal of source code (the range covers
544 * the code to be removed and the replacement string is empty),
545 * replacement of source code (the range covers the code to be
546 * replaced and the replacement string provides the new code), and
547 * insertion (both the start and end of the range point at the
548 * insertion location, and the replacement string provides the text to
549 * insert).
550 *
551 * \param Diagnostic The diagnostic whose fix-its are being queried.
552 *
553 * \param FixIt The zero-based index of the fix-it.
554 *
555 * \param ReplacementRange The source range whose contents will be
556 * replaced with the returned replacement string. Note that source
557 * ranges are half-open ranges [a, b), so the source code should be
558 * replaced from a and up to (but not including) b.
559 *
560 * \returns A string containing text that should be replace the source
561 * code indicated by the \c ReplacementRange.

1645 * \brief Perform code completion at a given location in a source file.
1646 *
1647 * This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and
1648 * column within source code, providing results that suggest potential
1649 * code snippets based on the context of the completion. The basic model
1650 * for code completion is that Clang will parse a complete source file,
1651 * performing syntax checking up to the location where code-completion has
1652 * been requested. At that point, a special code-completion token is passed
1653 * to the parser, which recognizes this token and determines, based on the
1654 * current location in the C/Objective-C/C++ grammar and the state of
1655 * semantic analysis, what completions to provide. These completions are
1656 * returned via a new \c CXCodeCompleteResults structure.
1657 *
1658 * Code completion itself is meant to be triggered by the client when the
1659 * user types punctuation characters or whitespace, at which point the
1660 * code-completion location will coincide with the cursor. For example, if \c p
1661 * is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then
1662 * after the ">" in \c p->. When the code-completion location is afer the ">",
1663 * the completion results will provide, e.g., the members of the struct that
1664 * "p" points to. The client is responsible for placing the cursor at the
1665 * beginning of the token currently being typed, then filtering the results
1666 * based on the contents of the token. For example, when code-completing for
1667 * the expression \c p->get, the client should provide the location just after
1668 * the ">" (e.g., pointing at the "g") to this code-completion hook. Then, the
1669 * client can filter the results based on the current token text ("get"), only
1670 * showing those results that start with "get". The intent of this interface
1671 * is to separate the relatively high-latency acquisition of code-completion
1672 * results from the filtering of results on a per-character basis, which must
1673 * have a lower latency.
1674 *
1675 * \param CIdx the \c CXIndex instance that will be used to perform code
1676 * completion.
1677 *
1678 * \param source_filename the name of the source file that should be parsed to
1679 * perform code-completion. This source file must be the same as or include the
1680 * filename described by \p complete_filename, or no code-completion results
1681 * will be produced.  NOTE: One can also specify NULL for this argument if the
1682 * source file is included in command_line_args.
1683 *
1684 * \param num_command_line_args the number of command-line arguments stored in
1685 * \p command_line_args.
1686 *
1687 * \param command_line_args the command-line arguments to pass to the Clang
1688 * compiler to build the given source file. This should include all of the
1689 * necessary include paths, language-dialect switches, precompiled header
1690 * includes, etc., but should not include any information specific to
1691 * code completion.
1692 *
1693 * \param num_unsaved_files the number of unsaved file entries in \p
1694 * unsaved_files.
1695 *
1696 * \param unsaved_files the files that have not yet been saved to disk
1697 * but may be required for code completion, including the contents of
1698 * those files.
1699 *
1700 * \param complete_filename the name of the source file where code completion
1701 * should be performed. In many cases, this name will be the same as the
1702 * source filename. However, the completion filename may also be a file
1703 * included by the source file, which is required when producing
1704 * code-completion results for a header.
1705 *
1706 * \param complete_line the line at which code-completion should occur.
1707 *
1708 * \param complete_column the column at which code-completion should occur.
1709 * Note that the column should point just after the syntactic construct that
1710 * initiated code completion, and not in the middle of a lexical token.
1711 *
1712 * \param diag_callback callback function that will receive any diagnostics
1713 * emitted while processing this source file. If NULL, diagnostics will be
1714 * suppressed.
1715 *
1716 * \param diag_client_data client data that will be passed to the diagnostic
1717 * callback function.
1718 *
1719 * \returns if successful, a new CXCodeCompleteResults structure
1720 * containing code-completion results, which should eventually be
1721 * freed with \c clang_disposeCodeCompleteResults(). If code
1722 * completion fails, returns NULL.
