Heya,

I don't see a way to retrieve that either. Did you consider writing a patch 
for that instead?

It should be pretty trivial to wrap the StorageClass enum in libclang and 
provide a function such as 'clang_getCursorStorageClass' to retrieve the SC 
from either the FunctionDecl or VarDecl.

I think it totally makes sense to expose that in the libclang API.

I suggest having a look at 'clang_getCursorAvailability' for inspiration on 
how to do it. It does almost the same (exporting an enum from C++ to the C 
API)

Cheers
