[cfe-dev] Retrieving Appropriate Headers

[Pedro Delgado Perez]

Hi,

Regarding the problem I exposed, I found the next tutorial:

https://github.com/loarabia/Clang-tutorial/blob/master/tutorial6.cpp [ https://github.com/loarabia/Clang-tutorial/blob/master/tutorial6.cpp ]

In that tutorial, they use the option:

headerSearchOptions->AddPath("/usr/include/linux",
            clang::frontend::Angled,
            false, false);

But:
1- I don't know if this is what I'm looking for (how could my tool know that a header file like "<name_x/file.h> is in a path which does not even has the directory "name_x" in it?)
2- I don't know how can I adapt this code to my tool, as I don't use anything similar to:

clang::ParseAST(preprocessor,&astConsumer,astContext);

Can anyone give me a clue to solve this?

And in some other cases, the headers are included in a way understandable to the build system of the program, even using angled headers "<name/file.h> and that path is not relative to its location.
