Hi

I'm using libclang to parse header files and generate code from them. I found
that clang_getTypeSpelling() usually includes the namespace a type was declared
in. However with the exception being typedefs. This is IMHO at least
inconsistent, and requires me to workaround and figure out the namespaces on my
own.

Minimal example:

namespace foo {
class Bar {
};
typedef Bar BarDef;
}

clang_getTypeSpelling on "Bar" (kind "Record") gives: "foo::Bar"
clang_getTypeSpelling on "BarDef" (kind "Typedef") gives: "BarDef" (<== missing
"foo::")

Would be nice if clang_getTypeSpelling on typedefs would behave like in all
other cases.
