[cfe-dev] AST matchers and thread safety

[Gabor Kozar]

Hi,



Since the AST should be immutable once created, and AST matchers are
only a high-level wrapper for RecursiveASTVisitor, so I'd expect no
problems with multithreading. This definitely needs to be confirmed
though by someone who actually knows what they are talking about. :)



Just out of curiosity, what is your use case? Navigating the AST is
fast, especially compared to the cost of building the AST. Are you
running a huge number of matchers?

Hi,



Are the AST matchers thread safe? I have a bunch of matchers which I

would like to run in separate threads for performance reasons. Is that

expected to work, or am I overly optimistic?
