<p>Hi,</p>
<blockquote class="replyBlock" style="border-left: 2px solid #000083; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><p>Default, copy, and move constructors are provided implicitly (under various conditions - obviously if you have members that aren't default, copy, or move constructible, you might not/cannot get all of those) </p>
</blockquote><p>Ok, but this keeps giving me trouble. I've used the isImplicit() matcher to avoid those implicit constructors, but it isn't working how I need yet.</p>
<p>recordDecl(<br /> unless(hasMethod(constructorDecl(<br /> allOf(hasAnyParameter(anything()), unless(isImplicit()))</p>
<p>I know I shouldn't use the -ast-dump-xml option, but look at this. If I have a class like this:</p>
<p>class E{<br /> public:<br /> E(){int a = 3;}; <br /> int e;<br />};</p>
<p>This is the dump of the constructor:</p>
<p><CXXConstructor used="1" ptr="0xd7d8070" name="E" prototype="true"><br /> <FunctionProtoType ptr="0xd7d8040" canonical="0xd7d8040"><br /> <BuiltinType ptr="0xd7d7c30" canonical="0xd7d7c30"/><br /> <parameters/><br /> </FunctionProtoType><br /> <Stmt><br />CompoundStmt 0xd7d81a8 <./ABC.h:4:6, col:17><br />`-DeclStmt 0xd7d8198 <col:7, col:16><br /> `-VarDecl 0xd7d8150 <col:7, col:15> a 'int'<br /> `-IntegerLiteral 0xd7d8180 <col:15> 'int' 3<br /><br /> </Stmt><br /> </CXXConstructor></p>
<p>And this case is working fine. But when the class is this other way:</p>
<p>class E{<br /> public:<br /> E(); <br /> int e;<br />};</p>
<p>E::E(){<br/>
int a = 3;<br/>
}</p>
<p>The dump creates two CXXConstructors, I suppose one for the declaration and the other for the definition:</p>
<p><CXXConstructor ptr="0xc7de070" name="E" prototype="true"><br /> <FunctionProtoType ptr="0xc7de040" canonical="0xc7de040"><br /> <BuiltinType ptr="0xc7ddc30" canonical="0xc7ddc30"/><br /> <parameters/><br /> </FunctionProtoType><br /> </CXXConstructor></p>
<p>....</p>
<p><CXXConstructor used="1" ptr="0xc7de270" name="E" previous="0xc7de070" prototype="true"><br /> <FunctionProtoType ptr="0xc7de040" canonical="0xc7de040"><br /> <BuiltinType ptr="0xc7ddc30" canonical="0xc7ddc30"/><br /> <parameters/><br /> </FunctionProtoType><br /> <Stmt><br />CompoundStmt 0xc7de378 <./ABC.h:8:7, line:10:1><br />`-DeclStmt 0xc7de368 <line:9:2, col:11><br /> `-VarDecl 0xc7de320 <col:2, col:10> a 'int'<br /> `-IntegerLiteral 0xc7de350 <col:10> 'int' 3<br /><br /> </Stmt><br /> </CXXConstructor></p>
<br/>
<p>And this is the case my matcher is not retrieving the class E. I don't know if clang it's considering that first CxxConstructor as implicit... The only difference I can see is the "used" attribute. I've tried creating a simple matcher to use the isUsed() method of Decl class:</p>
<p>namespace clang{ <br /> namespace ast_matchers{ <br /> AST_MATCHER(Decl, isUsed) <br /> { <br /> return Node.isUsed(); <br /> } <br /> } <br />}</p>
<p>but, this is having no influence.</p>
<p>Maybe, I'm ignoring something.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Pedro.</p>

<p>Hi Manuel,</p>
<p>I would like to ask you something about the AST built by Clang if you don't mind. I've just have a look at your video of introduction to Clang AST (By the way, nice tutorial!) and I think that you may have an answer for my trouble.</p>
<p>Look, I was trying to look for classes that had only the default constructor through ASTMatchers. Well, I tested my matcher with the next classes:</p>
<p>class G{<br />public:<br /> G():a(1){}<br /> int a;<br /> virtual int ma(int arg);<br />};</p>
<p>class L: <strong>public G</strong>{<br /> public:<br /> L(){v = 1;}<br /> int b;<br /> int h;<br /> virtual int ma(int arg);<br /> private:<br /> int v;<br /> int f();<br />};</p>
<p>My matcher only retrieved the class 'L' and not the 'G'. I was wondering what would be the problem when I had a look to the ast-dump-xml option:</p>
</div><div>I'd suggest to not use ast-dump-xml any more. It's basically deprecated, and hopefully it'll be removed soon. -ast-dump gives you all the information (and more).</div><div><p> <CXXRecord ptr="0xd695f30" name="G" typeptr="0xd695f80"><br /> <CXXRecord ptr="0xd695fd0" name="G" typeptr="0xd695f80"/><br /> <AccessSpec ptr="0xd696020" access="public"/><br /> <strong><CXXConstructor</strong> used="1" ptr="0xd696080" name="G" prototype="true"><br /> <FunctionProtoType ptr="0xd696050" canonical="0xd696050"><br /> <BuiltinType ptr="0xd695c40" canonical="0xd695c40"/><br /> <parameters/><br /> </FunctionProtoType><br /> <Stmt><br />CompoundStmt 0xd696450 <tst.cpp:7:10, col:11><br /> </Stmt><br /> </CXXConstructor></p>
<p>....</p>
<p><strong><CXXConstructor</strong> ptr="0xd6aefc0" name="G" prototype="true" inline="true"><br /> <FunctionProtoType ptr="0xd6af050" canonical="0xd6af030" exception_spec="unevaluated"><br /> <BuiltinType ptr="0xd695c40" canonical="0xd695c40"/><br /> <parameters><br /> <LValueReferenceType ptr="0xd696240" canonical="0xd696240"><br /> <QualType const="true"><br /> <RecordType ptr="0xd695f80" canonical="0xd695f80"><br /> <CXXRecord ref="0xd695f30"/><br /> </RecordType><br /> </QualType><br /> </LValueReferenceType><br /> </parameters><br /> </FunctionProtoType><br /> <ParmVar ptr="0xd6af070" name="" initstyle="c"><br /> <LValueReferenceType ptr="0xd696240" canonical="0xd696240"><br /> <QualType const="true"><br /> <RecordType ptr="0xd695f80" canonical="0xd695f80"><br /> <CXXRecord ref="0xd695f30"/><br /> </RecordType><br /> </QualType><br /> </LValueReferenceType><br /> </ParmVar><br /> </CXXConstructor><br /> </CXXRecord></p>
<br/>
<p>Why class 'G' has two constructors? If I change the test program in order that class 'L' doesn't inherits from class 'G', this doesn't happen (class 'G' only has one constructor in the ast-dump-xml) Could you lend me a hand?</p>
</div><div>If you look at -ast-dump:</div><div><div>$ clang -cc1 -ast-dump t4.cc</div><div><snip></div><div>|-CXXRecordDecl 0x37faf80 <t4.cc:1:1, line:6:1> class G</div><div><snip></div><div>| |-CXXConstructorDecl 0x37fb1c0 <line:3:3, col:15> G 'void (void)'</div><div>| | |-CXXCtorInitializer Field 0x37fb290 'a' 'int'</div><div>| | | |-IntegerLiteral 0x382d018 <col:11> 'int' 1</div><div>| | `-CompoundStmt 0x382d0a0 <col:14, col:15></div><div><snip></div><div>| `-CXXConstructorDecl 0x382da70 <col:7> G 'void (const class G &)' inline</div><div>| `-ParmVarDecl 0x382f820 <col:7> 'const class G &'</div><div><snip></div><div>... you can see that one is the default constructor and the other one is the copy constructor.
