Questions about Clang's API

Hi:
I’m relatively new to the libClang API. Below are a few questions I have:

  • I’m currently using ClangTool’s ::buildASTs to construct AST from CompilationDatabase. Is there any API to do this in parallel to speed up this process?
  • From previous step I can obtain an array of ASTUnit. AFAIK I should then get the ASTContext of this ASTUnit then call ASTContext::getTranslationUnitDecl() , my question is what is the next step to run my RecursiveASTVisitor on it?
  • My third question is that is Clang’s APIs generally thread-safe? As in can I safely do step 2 across multiple threads given that I dont share ASTContext among threads?
