What's wrong with my AST matcher ?

Clang Frontend

Hi guys,

I’m trying to get the hang of AST matching in clang. I need a little help needed in understanding the error messages and what’s wrong with the code here:

The intent of this AST matching code is to detect this:

int y = X; ← this should be matched

int r = m; ← this shouldn’t be matched

After going through clang/ASTMatchers/ASTMatchers.h, I came up with a checker which - minus the boilerplate code - does this:

…

…

static auto findTest() → decltype(stmt()) {

auto test = varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringParenImpCasts(declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName(“X”)))))));

return stmt(test);

}

…

…

The compiler is telling me something but I’m unable to figure out what’s the issue here. Why is it not able to create a stmt instance from test ? Also, is the checker logic sane ?

Hi Alan,

stmt() is a matcher for statements, but varDecl() is a matcher for declarations, so varDecl() cannot be used as an argument of stmt() matcher as-is. You should be more specific and point that you want to match not just any Stmt but DeclStmt that contains a declaration you want to match:

return declStmt(containsDeclaration(test));

Alternatively, if you only want to find a declaration, not a statement that declares it, you can just drop stmt() matcher.
