[cfe-dev] TypeLoc SourceRange for builtin types

[Erik Schmidt via cfe-dev]

Greetings,

  for getting the written source of the type of a field, I'm using


  pFieldDecl->getTypeSourceInfo()->getTypeLoc().getSourceRange();


  This works great, it returns "int" for a field like "int foo;" or  
even "vector<int>" for a field like "vector<int> bar;", as expected.  
However, for built-in types with a space inside, like "unsigned int"  
or "signed char", this doesn't work, strangely. For example, for a  
field like this:

  signed char foo;

  the source range returned only contains the first word, namely  
"signed". But it should contain "signed char", shouldn't it?

  It's the same for all built-in type combinations and happens  
everywhere, at parameters, return types of functions and others. Am I  
misunderstanding something here? Can't imagine that this is a bug,  
since everything else works so nicely. Any hint of what I am doing  
wrong?
