Hi lotay,

first?2. just invoke VisitCXXMethodDecl?3 just invoke

I always find this confusing as well, and I've had great help from
this design doc e-mail from a few years back:
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2010-June/009322.html

It appears it walks up the hierarchy recursively and then visits each
generation's node, so it should be VisitFunctionDecl and then
VisitCXXMethodDecl.
