Indeed. That's an usage that does not require a working clang++
compiler. I thought that part of the information you mention is deep
inside LLVM, where libclang has no access. Seems I was wrong.

However, as long as Clang does not reliably implement the MS C++ ABI, I
would prefer to use that metainformation for using it with code compiled
by clang itself :-)

Muito obrigado.
