I am comfortable with clang's internal API at the time, although the abstraction provided in libclang seems much easier to work with. The clang's internal API is much more self-explanatory than libclang. Can you please give me some hints as for how to find the members and methods of a class. I can visit all classes using VisitCXXRecordDecl but there doesn't seem to be any way to find it's members. Is there a way to recursively walk all the children this CXXRecordDecl and figure out which ones are methods and members? Also, I am struggling on how to use the ASTMatcher you mentioned earlier. I have a returnstmt using the VisitStmt method of my visitor. This will give me a return statement. How do I find which function it belongs to? Can you give a small example of how to do it? I am very grateful for your help.<br>

Also, Is it better to use libclang for doing this. My complete purpose is to refactor source code to find all functions, their arguments, return statements, all class members and methods. Can I find all this using libclang? I've heard that clang is unstable while libclang is stable. Which one should I use? I am currently using clang's internal API.</blockquote>

And while the internal clang AST interface is going to change more often than libclang, in practice it is stable enough that you usually don't care unless you want to ship a product (like an IDE) to end users. I'd try to decide more on how much power you need, or what language you'd like to write your integration in.</div>

My purpose is to overload the << operator for all classes if they don't already have one. The basic goal is to make all classes serializable over some stream (ideally a network stream). Is that possible with clang? If yes, How do I find all the member variables and functions of a class or struct?<div>

Does getType() not work for you for some reason?<br>
