[cfe-dev] Rewriting question

[jahanian]

As an example, you can look at RewriteObjCMethodDecl which builds a c function declaration and the caller,
then replaces the method declaration with this string; as in:

RewriteObjCMethodDecl(OMD->getClassInterface(), OMD, ResultStr);
    SourceLocation LocStart = OMD->getLocStart();
    SourceLocation LocEnd = OMD->getCompoundBody()->getLocStart();

    const char *startBuf = SM->getCharacterData(LocStart);
    const char *endBuf = SM->getCharacterData(LocEnd);
    ReplaceText(LocStart, endBuf-startBuf, ResultStr);
