[cfe-dev] Unique Identifier for template functions?

[Michael Lehn]

Hi,

when parsing some C++ code with libclang, is there a way to get a unique
identifier for a template function?

For most cases "clang_getCursorUSR" is exactly doing what I need.  However,
when using some common trait tricks a mangled C++ name is no longer unique.
E.g. the code snippet below defines two variants of function "dummy" and both
have the same mangled name (but the trait makes sure that only one of them
can get instantiated).

Any idea how I could get a unique identifies for a cursor when traversing
such code?


Thanks,

Michael

template <typename T1, typename T2>

    static const bool value = false;
};

template <typename T>
struct IsSame<T,T>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

// variant1
template <typename T>
typename RestrictTo<IsSame<T,int>::value, void>::Type
dummy(const T &)
{
// ...
}

// variant2
template <typename T>
typename RestrictTo<!IsSame<T,int>::value, void>::Type
dummy(const T &)
{
// ...
}
