[cfe-dev] main functions of clang

[James Molloy]

Hi,

If you look at Stmt.h, you will find the main declarations for printPretty and dumpPretty (line 305). They are member functions of the Stmt class, so assuming you have a Stmt instance you can just call "S->dumpPretty(Context);"

It's difficult to give a general rule for everything in Clang - as you know it is quite a complex source base. But hopefully this has helped?

Cheers,

James

Subject: [cfe-dev] main functions of clang

 Hello All,

Clang has a number of classes and functions inside its implementation. Most of the time it makes me to be confused to identify the interconnection among classes and functions. Because many functions may be called from different header files. The main thing what i want to know is about main methods of clang. I have seen 4 main functions in clang. But it is difficult for me to identify in which main methods are other functions called. To make it clear let me talk about one class(example StmtPrinter.cpp class). This class prints back source code from AST.  Under this class their are two functions i.e PrintPretty(..) and DumpPretty(..). Suppose I want to use printPretty(..) and it is called at different functions.  Where is the main method of clang that calls this function to print the source code? Can someone tell me how it works. I tried to greped out on command line but failed to get the main method that calls this function. Even I want to know the command to use this function.

Sorry, it might be silly question, but I failed to get it out. Thanks in advance for your help!.
