Modules

 CompilationDatabase functions
 
 String manipulation routines
 
 Translation unit manipulation
 The routines in this group provide the ability to create and destroy translation units from files, either by parsing the contents of the files or by reading in a serialized representation of a translation unit.
 
 Cursor manipulations
 
 Mapping between cursors and source code
 Cursors represent a location within the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
 
 Type information for CXCursors
 
 Information for attributes
 
 Traversing the AST with cursors
 These routines provide the ability to traverse the abstract syntax tree using cursors.
 
 Cross-referencing in the AST
 These routines provide the ability to determine references within and across translation units, by providing the names of the entities referenced by cursors, follow reference cursors to the declarations they reference, and associate declarations with their definitions.
 
 Name Mangling API Functions
 
 Module introspection
 The functions in this group provide access to information about modules.
 
 C++ AST introspection
 The routines in this group provide access information in the ASTs specific to C++ language features.
 
 Token extraction and manipulation
 The routines in this group provide access to the tokens within a translation unit, along with a semantic mapping of those tokens to their corresponding cursors.
 
 Debugging facilities
 These routines are used for testing and debugging, only, and should not be relied upon.
 
 Code completion
 Code completion involves taking an (incomplete) source file, along with knowledge of where the user is actively editing that file, and suggesting syntactically- and semantically-valid constructs that the user might want to use at that particular point in the source code.
 
 Miscellaneous utility functions
 
 Remapping functions
 
 Higher level API functions

Detailed Description

The C Interface to Clang provides a relatively small API that exposes 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_".

Typedef Documentation

◆ CXClientData

typedef void* CXClientData

Opaque pointer representing client data that will be passed through to various callbacks and visitors.

Definition at line 97 of file Index.h.

◆ CXIndex

typedef void* CXIndex

An "index" that consists of a set of translation units that would typically be linked together into an executable or library.

Definition at line 80 of file Index.h.

◆ CXIndexOptions

Index initialization options.

0 is the default value of each member of this struct except for Size. Initialize the struct in one of the following three ways to avoid adapting code each time a new member is added to it:

memset(&Opts, 0, sizeof(Opts));
Opts.Size = sizeof(CXIndexOptions);
__DEVICE__ void * memset(void *__a, int __b, size_t __c)
Index initialization options.
Definition: Index.h:353
unsigned Size
The size of struct CXIndexOptions used for option versioning.
Definition: Index.h:360

or explicitly initialize the first data member and zero-initialize the rest:

CXIndexOptions Opts = { sizeof(CXIndexOptions) };

or to prevent the -Wmissing-field-initializers warning for the above version:

Opts.Size = sizeof(CXIndexOptions);

A C++ constructor.

CXCursor_Destructor 

A C++ destructor.

CXCursor_ConversionFunction 

A C++ conversion function.

CXCursor_TemplateTypeParameter 

A C++ template type parameter.

CXCursor_NonTypeTemplateParameter

CXCursor_FirstDecl 
CXCursor_LastDecl 
CXCursor_FirstRef 
CXCursor_ObjCSuperClassRef 
CXCursor_ObjCProtocolRef 
CXCursor_ObjCClassRef 
CXCursor_TypeRef 

A reference to a type declaration.

A type reference occurs anywhere where a type is named but not declared. For example, given:

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_TemplateRef 

A reference to a class template, function template, template template parameter, or class template partial specialization.

CXCursor_NamespaceRef 

A reference to a namespace or namespace alias.

CXCursor_MemberRef 

A reference to a member of a struct, union, or class that occurs in some non-expression context, e.g., a designated initializer.

CXCursor_LabelRef 

A 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:

start_over:
++counter;
goto start_over;

A label reference cursor refers to a label statement.

CXCursor_OverloadedDeclRef 

A 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:

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.

Function Documentation

◆ clang_createIndex()

CINDEX_LINKAGE CXIndex clang_createIndex ( int  excludeDeclarationsFromPCH,
int  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'
TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
// 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);
TranslationUnitVisitor, 0);
CINDEX_LINKAGE CXCursor clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(CXTranslationUnit)
Retrieve the cursor that represents the given translation unit.
CINDEX_LINKAGE unsigned clang_visitChildren(CXCursor parent, CXCursorVisitor visitor, CXClientData client_data)
Visit the children of a particular cursor.
CINDEX_LINKAGE CXTranslationUnit clang_createTranslationUnit(CXIndex CIdx, const char *ast_filename)

CINDEX_LINKAGE void clang_disposeTranslationUnit(CXTranslationUnit)
Destroy the specified CXTranslationUnit object.
CINDEX_LINKAGE CXTranslationUnit clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(CXIndex CIdx, const char *source_filename, int num_clang_command_line_args, const char *const *clang_command_line_args, unsigned num_unsaved_files, struct CXUnsavedFile *unsaved_files)
Return the CXTranslationUnit for a given source file and the provided command line arguments one woul...
CINDEX_LINKAGE CXIndex clang_createIndex(int excludeDeclarationsFromPCH, int displayDiagnostics)
Provides a shared context for creating translation units.

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).

◆ clang_createIndexWithOptions()

CINDEX_LINKAGE CXIndex clang_createIndexWithOptions ( const CXIndexOptions options)

Provides a shared context for creating translation units.

Call this function instead of clang_createIndex() if you need to configure the additional options in CXIndexOptions.

Returns
The created index or null in case of error, such as an unsupported value of options->Size.

For example:

CXIndex createIndex(const char *ApplicationTemporaryPath) {
const int ExcludeDeclarationsFromPCH = 1;
const int DisplayDiagnostics = 1;
CXIndex Idx;
#if CINDEX_VERSION_MINOR >= 64
memset(&Opts, 0, sizeof(Opts));
Opts.Size = sizeof(CXIndexOptions);
Opts.ExcludeDeclarationsFromPCH = ExcludeDeclarationsFromPCH;
Opts.DisplayDiagnostics = DisplayDiagnostics;
Opts.PreambleStoragePath = ApplicationTemporaryPath;
if (Idx)
return Idx;
fprintf(stderr,
"clang_createIndexWithOptions() failed. "
"CINDEX_VERSION_MINOR = %d, sizeof(CXIndexOptions) = %u\n",
#else
(void)ApplicationTemporaryPath;
#endif
Idx = clang_createIndex(ExcludeDeclarationsFromPCH, DisplayDiagnostics);
return Idx;
