[cfe-dev] Variable scope

[Balou]

Thank you James for your answer.

I already tried getDeclContext, getParentFunctionOrMethod and others, but I
can not retrieve the correct scope in the following case:

int main (int argc, char ** argv)
{
  int foo1;
  {
    int foo2;
  }
}

At declaration, foo2 has a DeclContext whose kind is "Function", which is
not the correct scope...

Moreover, I see that there is a BlockDecl data structure, but
VisitBlockDecl don't work, as it seems to works only for objective C block
(ie ^{...}). Why this don't work for classical c-like blocks ?

Finally, I'd like to retrieve the scope of each declared variable in termes
of SourceRange. How can I get the SourceRange from a DeclContext ?

I'm sorry, but I'm a clang beginner...
Thank you by advance!
