Instance variables are modeled directly after structure fields (which is reflected in the hierarchy). On the other hand, methods are modeled loosely after Smalltalk...no relation to C-style decls (so they inherit from Decl). Properties are somewhere in the middle...they use C-style naming to access setter/getter methods (largely syntactic sugar). The only common super type is Decl, which I don't see a problem with (for the moment, at least).</div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>Ok, fair enough! Thanks. Next (potentially silly) question: ObjCInterfaceDecl currently has a list of ivars and a list of properties, should it be changed to have a list of Decl*'s that can be either ivars or properties? I don't have an opinion either way, I just want to know what you guys think. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Monaco; font-size: 10px; ">ObjCInterfaceDecl has a lot of stuff in it :)</span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>I would say no.
