[cfe-commits] [PATCH] ObjC: interface decls pointing to implementation decls

[Argyrios Kyrtzidis]

Hi all,

Currently you can't find the implementation of an interface using only  
the ASTContext. This results in Sema doing name lookups when looking  
for methods or keeping data structures like ObjCCategoryImpls.
IMO the ASTContext should provide the information that "this  
ObjCIntefaceDecl is implemented by this ObjCImplementationDecl". This  
way Sema gets simplified, it can get at the implementation without  
doing name lookups
and a client can easily access such information without the need to  
build data structures like Sema's.

I attached 3 patches for your reviewal pleasure:

objc_impl1.patch:  Modifies ObjCContainerDecl so that it can point to  
its implementation. As a bonus, Sema is modified to emit an error when  
a category is reimplemented (previously it didn't emit any diagnostic).
objc_impl2.patch:  Sema::LookupObjCImplementation() is removed, and  
ObjCInterfaceDecl::getImplementation() is used in its place. No name  
lookups, w00t!
objc_impl3.patch: The ObjCCategoryImpls vector is removed from Sema,  
and ObjCInterfaceDecl::getCategoryClassMethod() and  
ObjCInterfaceDecl::getCategoryInstanceMethod() are used for the same  
functionality.

Let me know what you think.
