<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks for the reply. Well, here's the detailed problem. Once all the syntax checking has been done, the next step before generating IR is to do semantic analysis and type checking. Let us say that I encounter a code like this:<div>
<br></div><div>string b;</div><div>vector<T> a;</div><div>cout<<b;</div><div>cout<<a;</div><div> </div><div> How does clang figure out that the 3rd statement is valid because an operator for string exists, while the 4rth statement is not valid. More specifically, I want to know how clang searches through all the operators (or functions). I have to use this functionality. Does the clang api allow me to do this easily or will I have to replicate this functionality?</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>As far as I know the clang API does not allow you to do that easily - you need the full semantic analysis state at that point during parsing, and as far as I'm aware this only exists implicitly in the Sema* classes.

Hi,<br>
I am looking to perform some semantic analysis in clang. More<br>
specifically, I want to know whether a function exists for a certain type.<br>
The function is global. e.g.<br>
<br>
String toString(A a);<br>
<br>
I want to differentiate that this function exists for type A and not for<br>
type B. I have built an AST and am parsing it. How can I achieve this?<br>
(Whenever I encounter a type)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd loop over all declarations of toString and see which type they take... Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your problem though :)</div><div>
