[cfe-dev] Checking Comments With A Plugin

[Sean Silva]

You can get the comment attached to a Decl with
ASTContext::getRawCommentForDeclNoCache(),
but I'm not sure if we support something as powerful as, say, iterating
over every comment in the TU.

I've CC'd Dmitri who knows about clang's comment-accessing capabilities (he
is responsible for -Wdocumentation).
