            Bug ID: 51444
           Summary: inner field is missed for struct decl on ast-dump
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P

Hello.
Consider :

struct S { int *a; };
typedef int *A;

-ast-dump=json gives :

FieldDecl for S with
          "name": "a",
          "type": {
            "qualType": "int *"
          }

But for typedef there are :

 "name": "A",
      "type": {
        "qualType": "int *"
      },
      "inner": [
        {
          "id": "0x168e942d310",
          "kind": "PointerType",
          "type": {
            "qualType": "int *"
          },
          "inner": [
            {
              "id": "0x168e942c600",
              "kind": "BuiltinType",
              "type": {
                "qualType": "int"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ]

Can we add inner to FieldDecl too ? Also i wonder maybe add inner to all "type"
clauses ?
What are the plans for ast dump feature? I think it is very great feature, me,
for example, i am writing a tool that generates bindings for another language
from C headers.
Using libclang directly places some difficulties.
Thanks.
