Link between clang::FunctionType and clang::FunctionDecl

Hi,
   Maybe a silly question, but why I cannot get the FunctionDecl for a given FunctionType?
Thanks,

Because

void f();
void g();
void h();

all have the same FunctionType. Which decl do you want?

Arh... I see. Here is what I want to do:

template<typename F, typename... Args, typename... A>
F callF(F (*f)(Args...), A&&... a) {
    return f(a...);
}

int f(int x) {
   printf("This is f(x).\n");
   return x*x;
}

int main () {
   int x = 4;
   callF(f, x); // Here at that point, I want to get the decl of f. That should be possible, right?
   return 0;
}

Yes. The AST should look something like this:

ExprStmt(CallExpr(..., ImplicitCastExpr(DeclRefExpr('f')), ...))

and the DeclRefExpr should have a handle to f.

Sorry for the noise I was mislead. Thanks for steering me in the right direction :slight_smile:
