Manuel, do you remember why this name was chosen? I seem to recall<br>
thinking that the name was well-chosen.<br>
<br>
<br>
It's a DynTypedNode, because the type information is kept / available dynamically. ASTNode would suggest that there is a common interface for AST nodes, which there is not.<br>

<br></div>
Well, QualType is a wrapper around Type structures that works similarly and we don't make the distinction there.<div class=""><br>

What doesn't work for me is saying "DynTypedNode is an AST node". This feels wrong. DynTypedNode is more like a "smart reference".<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
How about ASTNodeRef? I don't have a strong feeling about ASTNode / ASTNodeRef or something along those lines, but DynTypedNode specifically doesn't feel right.<br>
<br>
The current name doesn't mean much outside ASTMatchers lingo whereas the functionality is fairly general and could be useful elsewhere.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There was some speculation about extending use of DynTypedNode outside the ASTMatchers library <a href="http://reviews.llvm.org/D33?id=85#inline-386">http://reviews.llvm.org/D33?id=85#inline-386</a>; is there something in particular that you have in mind that you are trying to work towards?</div>

This is always referred to as an AST node in documentation. By<br>
wrapping Decls, Stmts and QualTypes it provides a generalised<br>
way to reference AST nodes. And despite the name, DynTypedNode<br>
doesn't have anything to do with dynamic types in the AST.<br>
<br>
The attached patch renames the class and implementation to<br>
ASTNode.<br>
<br>
(Indeed the namespace "ast_type_traits" is equally confusing.<br>
Presumably both are cases where implementation details have<br>
leaked into the naming scheme?)<br>
