clang::idx::TranslationUnit usage?

Clang Frontend

Hi,

I'm curious about the intended usage of clang::idx::TranslationUnit.
It's an abstract class and has no subclass. I see a suitable client
for generating a clang::idx::TranslationUnit is ASTUnit. But I'd like
to know its original motivation.

Hi Zhongxing,

This is supposed to be an abstract version of ASTUnit intended for clients of libIndex.
AFAIK it’s not used since the focus now is on libclang.

Do you have something in mind ?

I want to interface ASTUnit to Indexer. see r107467.

Seems fine by me.
