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_".

| 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 |

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:
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:
- See also
- clang_createIndex()
◆ clang_CXIndex_getGlobalOptions()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE unsigned clang_CXIndex_getGlobalOptions | ( | CXIndex | ) |
Gets the general options associated with a CXIndex.
This function allows to obtain the final option values used by libclang after specifying the option policies via CXChoice enumerators.
- Returns
- A bitmask of options, a bitwise OR of CXGlobalOpt_XXX flags that are associated with the given CXIndex object.
◆ clang_CXIndex_setGlobalOptions()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE void clang_CXIndex_setGlobalOptions | ( | CXIndex | , |
| unsigned | options | ||
| ) |
Sets general options associated with a CXIndex.
This function is DEPRECATED. Set CXIndexOptions::ThreadBackgroundPriorityForIndexing and/or CXIndexOptions::ThreadBackgroundPriorityForEditing and call clang_createIndexWithOptions() instead.
For example:
- Parameters
-
options A bitmask of options, a bitwise OR of CXGlobalOpt_XXX flags.
◆ clang_CXIndex_setInvocationEmissionPathOption()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE void clang_CXIndex_setInvocationEmissionPathOption | ( | CXIndex | , |
| const char * | Path | ||
| ) |
Sets the invocation emission path option in a CXIndex.
This function is DEPRECATED. Set CXIndexOptions::InvocationEmissionPath and call clang_createIndexWithOptions() instead.
The invocation emission path specifies a path which will contain log files for certain libclang invocations. A null value (default) implies that libclang invocations are not logged..
◆ clang_disposeIndex()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE void clang_disposeIndex | ( | CXIndex | index | ) |
Destroy the given index.
The index must not be destroyed until all of the translation units created within that index have been destroyed.
◆ clang_getAllSkippedRanges()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXSourceRangeList * clang_getAllSkippedRanges | ( | CXTranslationUnit | 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.
◆ clang_getDiagnostic()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXDiagnostic clang_getDiagnostic | ( | CXTranslationUnit | Unit, |
| unsigned | Index | ||
| ) |
Retrieve a diagnostic associated with the given translation unit.
- Parameters
-
Unit the translation unit to query. Index the zero-based diagnostic number to retrieve.
- Returns
- the requested diagnostic. This diagnostic must be freed via a call to
clang_disposeDiagnostic().
◆ clang_getDiagnosticSetFromTU()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXDiagnosticSet clang_getDiagnosticSetFromTU | ( | CXTranslationUnit | Unit | ) |
Retrieve the complete set of diagnostics associated with a translation unit.
- Parameters
-
Unit the translation unit to query.
◆ clang_getFile()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXFile clang_getFile | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| const char * | file_name | ||
| ) |
Retrieve a file handle within the given translation unit.
- Parameters
-
tu the translation unit file_name the name of the file.
- Returns
- the file handle for the named file in the translation unit
tu, or a NULL file handle if the file was not a part of this translation unit.
◆ clang_getFileContents()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE const char * clang_getFileContents | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| CXFile | file, | ||
| size_t * | size | ||
| ) |
Retrieve the buffer associated with the given file.
- Parameters
-
tu the translation unit file the file for which to retrieve the buffer. size [out] if non-NULL, will be set to the size of the buffer.
- Returns
- a pointer to the buffer in memory that holds the contents of
file, or a NULL pointer when the file is not loaded.
◆ clang_getLocation()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXSourceLocation clang_getLocation | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| CXFile | file, | ||
| unsigned | line, | ||
| unsigned | column | ||
| ) |
Retrieves the source location associated with a given file/line/column in a particular translation unit.
◆ clang_getLocationForOffset()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXSourceLocation clang_getLocationForOffset | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| CXFile | file, | ||
| unsigned | offset | ||
| ) |
Retrieves the source location associated with a given character offset in a particular translation unit.
◆ clang_getNumDiagnostics()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE unsigned clang_getNumDiagnostics | ( | CXTranslationUnit | Unit | ) |
Determine the number of diagnostics produced for the given translation unit.
◆ clang_getSkippedRanges()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE CXSourceRangeList * clang_getSkippedRanges | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| CXFile | 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.
◆ clang_isFileMultipleIncludeGuarded()
| CINDEX_LINKAGE unsigned clang_isFileMultipleIncludeGuarded | ( | CXTranslationUnit | tu, |
| CXFile | file | ||
| ) |
Determine whether the given header is guarded against multiple inclusions, either with the conventional #ifndef/#define/#endif macro guards or with #pragma once.
