[cfe-dev] Clang libtool crashing with error "Assertion `Name.isIdentifier() && "Name is not a simple identifier"' failed"

[Reid Kleckner via cfe-dev]

There are many kinds of DeclarationName in Clang:
  enum NameKind {
    Identifier,
    ObjCZeroArgSelector,
    ObjCOneArgSelector,
    ObjCMultiArgSelector,
    CXXConstructorName,
    CXXDestructorName,
    CXXConversionFunctionName,
    CXXOperatorName,
    CXXLiteralOperatorName,
    CXXUsingDirective
  };

getName only works on simple identifiers. You can use getNameAsString
or printName if you want clang to synthesize a string for a non-identifier
name.
