[cfe-dev] clang-cc -ast-print-xml errors

[Daniel Dunbar]

Hi Craig,

The driver doesn't have a built in way to deal with extra clang-cc
options we don't care to expose from the compiler.

The best way to deal with this is use a driver option which only runs
clang-cc, and use -Xclang to pass the extra option you want:
--
ddunbar at giles:tmp$ touch empty.c
ddunbar at giles:tmp$ clang -S -Xclang -ast-print-xml t.c -o -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CLANG_XML>
... turns out xml is verbose ...
ddunbar at giles:tmp$ clang -S -Xclang -ast-print-xml
~/llvm/tools/clang/INPUTS/Cocoa_h.m -o t.xml
Assertion failed: (NodeStack.size() > 1 && "too much backtracking"),
function toParent, file
/Volumes/Data/Users/ddunbar/llvm/tools/clang/lib/Frontend/DocumentXML.cpp,
line 51.
...
