<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Yes, What you have mentioned is exactly what I want. So does it mean that Stmt::Profile would generate unique ID (llvm::FoldingSetNodeID) irrespective of it being a compound statement or not? If so, could I use it to compare the two functions using the IDs that are generated using<br>
</div>FunctionDecl::getBody()::profile() ? <br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Yes, you can Stmt::Profile to compare two function bodies. But as noted below, it won't quite do what you want, because it doesn't consider variables declared within the statement to be "the same". You could fix this by teaching StmtProfiler to map declarations to some kind of declaration index if they are declared within the statement being profiled. You'd need similar treatment for LabelDecls. I don't see a good reason why we wouldn't accept such a patch for upstream Clang.</div>
