[cfe-dev] Clang: Pass by const-ref C++0x

[Lewis, Jason]

Hello,


I've been working with Clang for a couple of days and I can't help feeling like I am missing something. When I parse out the following:

void HandleBlah(std::string const& in, std::string& out)
{
    // do something
}

It doesn't seem to recognize the qualifier const. However if I omit the reference it seems as though it works. It doesn't seem as if there is any indication either in ParmVarDecl or Qualifiers or QualType that a developer can deduce if the parameter is a pointer or reference type. How can I detect whether or not a parameter is a reference? I suspect it is something to do in how I have set up my project. I am using a SemaConsumer being passed into the Process function and I only care about top level function declarations. Thank you in advance!

To summarize the setup:

/**
*            To use:
*            0) Create compiler instance
*            1) Create a stream with NewOutputStream
 *            2) Call Setup with obvious parameters.
*            3) Create your consumer object.
*            4) Call Process with your consumer.
