Yes, I agree. So I can continue with virtual bases support (but only since the middle of January), good?

> One idea for implementing this though might be to add a pre-processing step of the publics stream similar to how we pre-process the TPI stream.  This would also allow us to find mangled names of global functions as well (currently even for global functions, we create an empty `Mangled` structure when LLDB asks us for the mangled name).  One pass over the publics stream should be simpler and more straightforward than a pass over every single module's symbol stream.  From there we have the address, which tells us the module, and then we can use the `CompilandIndexItem::FindSymbolsByVa()` to find the `S_GPROC32` record, and from there find the type.  But I think this is a large effort for low value, so we should maybe wait until the easier stuff is done first.  I haven't looked at the rest of the patch yet, but I will in a little bit.  Thanks!

Thanks for comment! I think that such preprocessing is a good idea. But is it guaranteed that we will have a record in the publics stream for any function?



================
Comment at: lit/SymbolFile/NativePDB/ast-methods.cpp:33
+// CHECK: | |-CXXMethodDecl {{.*}} overloaded_method 'int (char) __attribute__((thiscall))'
+// CHECK: | | `-ParmVarDecl {{.*}} 'char'
+// CHECK: | `-CXXMethodDecl {{.*}} overloaded_method 'int (char, int, ...)'
----------------
The one thing I've forgot to say about is that parameter names are in `Symbols` stream too. Is it ok for now to proceed without them too?
