[cfe-dev] acquiring all the ancestors or descendants of a matched node

[Himanshu via cfe-dev]

Hi Farzad,

If all you are looking for is finding a functionDecl wrapping a callExpr,
then following is what you want.

const clang::FunctionDecl* getParentFunctionDecl(ASTContext *context,const
clang::Stmt& stmt){
        auto it = context->getParents(stmt).begin();
        if(it == context->getParents(stmt).end())
             return nullptr;

        const clang::FunctionDecl *fDecl = it->get<clang::FunctionDecl>();

        if(fDecl)
              return fDecl;

        const clang::Stmt *aStmt = it->get<clang::Stmt>();

        if(aStmt)
             return getParentFunctionDecl(context,*aStmt);

       //nothing worked
       return nullptr;
}
