[cfe-dev] Parent of an AST node?

[Ted Kremenek]

Hi Nico,

Check out the ParentMap class in libAST.  It represents a map from  
Stmt* -> Stmt* (children to parents).  To construct it, you just  
provide the root of the AST:

   ParentMap PM(root);

To query for a parent:

   Stmt* parent = PM.getParent(child);

The parent map will only contain the backmapping from children to  
parents that are descendants of the root AST node that you specified  
when you constructed the parent map.
