[cfe-dev] Type Information for C++ classes

[Mohammad Adil]

Also, Is it better to use libclang for doing this. My complete purpose is
to refactor source code to find all functions, their arguments, return
statements, all class members and methods. Can I find all this using
libclang? I've heard that clang is unstable while libclang is stable. Which
one should I use? I am currently using clang's internal API.
