> It might be interesting to consider how this is addressed by the ExternalASTSource interface. There, we have separate "import the lexical contents of this AST node (including populating the lexical declarations list with all members, in the right order)", "import the lookup results for this name in this context (and cache them but don't add them to the list of lexical members)" and "import this specific declaration member (but don't add it to the list of lexical members)" queries. One could imagine doing something similar for the AST importer: when you're performing a minimal import but you want to import a method declaration, don't insert it into the list of lexical members of the enclosing record. Instead, defer doing that until a complete type is required (at that point, you'd need to import all the relevant members anyway, including the base classes and virtual functions in the right order).

Hi Richard, maybe my understanding is not correct, but I believe the
situation is somewhat twisted and reversed.
Seems like LLDB already exercises the ExternalASTSource interface. The
purpose of using it is exactly to load the external lexical contents
of an AST node (as you suggested). However, the load is implemented by
the means of the ASTImporter (in minimal mode). Consider the attached
function call trace:
When the user instructs LLDB to evaluate an expression then LLDB
exercises the parser `clang::ParseAST`, which in turn does a lookup
`clang::DeclContext::lookup`. During the lookup,
`lldb_private::ClangASTSource::FindExternalVisibleDeclsByName` is
called (this function overloads
`ExternalASTSource::FindExternalVisibleDeclsByName`).
And finally, through `lldb_private::ClangASTImporter::CopyType` we end
up in `clang::ASTImporter::Import`.

A brute force solution might be to always have ASTNodeImporter::VisitRecordDecl visit all base classes, then all virtual methods, which would ensure they are visited in the original decl order.
