Note that you cannot directly match a negative numeric literal because the
minus sign is not part of the literal: It is a unary operator whose operand

    y(42); // Doesn't match
    using NS::y;
    y(x); // Found by both unqualified lookup and ADL, doesn't match
   }

Matches casts that has a given cast kind.

Example: matches the implicit cast around 0
(matcher = castExpr(hasCastKind(CK_NullToPointer)))
  int *p = 0;

If the matcher is use from clang-query, CastKind parameter
should be passed as a quoted string. e.g., hasCastKind("CK_NullToPointer").

Matches literals that are equal to the given value of type ValueT.

Given
  f('false, 3.14, 42);

  match false
floatLiteral(equals(3.14)) and floatLiteral(equals(314e-2))
  match 3.14
integerLiteral(equals(42))
  matches 42

Note that you cannot directly match a negative numeric literal because the
minus sign is not part of the literal: It is a unary operator whose operand
is the positive numeric literal. Instead, you must use a unaryOperator()
matcher to match the minus sign:

unaryOperator(hasOperatorName("-"),
              hasUnaryOperand(integerLiteral(equals(13))))

Usable as: Matcher<CharacterLiteral>, Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr>,
           Matcher<FloatingLiteral>, Matcher<IntegerLiteral>

  matches "int a[42]" and "int b[2 * 21]"
stringLiteral(hasSize(4))
  matches "abcd", L"abcd"

Matches declaration statements that contain a specific number of
declarations.

Example: Given
  int a, b;
  int c;

cxxRecordDecl(
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("a"), hasType(type().bind("t")))),
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("b"), hasType(type(equalsBoundNode("t"))))))
  matches the class X, as a and b have the same type.

Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
For example:
compoundStmt(
    forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),
    forEachDescendant(declRefExpr(to(decl(equalsBoundNode("d"))))))
will trigger a match for each combination of variable declaration
and reference to that variable declaration within a compound statement.

ASTMatcher.h:
  class Y {};

Usable as: Matcher<Decl>, Matcher<Stmt>, Matcher<TypeLoc>

enum X {};
enum class Y {};

Matches expressions that are instantiation-dependent even if it is
neither type- nor value-dependent.

In the following example, the expression sizeof(sizeof(T() + T()))
is instantiation-dependent (since it involves a template parameter T),
but is neither type- nor value-dependent, since the type of the inner
sizeof is known (std::size_t) and therefore the size of the outer
sizeof is known.
  template<typename T>
  void f(T x, T y) { sizeof(sizeof(T() + T()); }
expr(isInstantiationDependent()) matches sizeof(sizeof(T() + T())

Matches expressions that are type-dependent because the template type
is not yet instantiated.

  void add(T x, int y) {
    x + y;
  }
expr(isTypeDependent()) matches x + y

Matches expression that are value-dependent because they contain a
non-type template parameter.

Given
  class C {
    int a : 2;
    int b;

  matches 42

Note that you cannot directly match a negative numeric literal because the
minus sign is not part of the literal: It is a unary operator whose operand
is the positive numeric literal. Instead, you must use a unaryOperator()
matcher to match the minus sign:

but not
@interface I + (void)foo; @end

Matches a declaration that has default arguments.

Example matches y (matcher = parmVarDecl(hasDefaultArgument()))
void x(int val) {}
void y(int val = 0) {}

Deprecated. Use hasInitializer() instead to be able to
match on the contents of the default argument.  For example:

void x(int val = 7) {}
void y(int val = 42) {}
parmVarDecl(hasInitializer(integerLiteral(equals(42))))
  matches the parameter of y

A matcher such as
  parmVarDecl(hasInitializer(anything()))
is equivalent to parmVarDecl(hasDefaultArgument()).

Matches the ParmVarDecl nodes that are at the N'th position in the parameter
list. The parameter list could be that of either a block, function, or
objc-method.


Given

void f(int a, int b, int c) {
}

``parmVarDecl(isAtPosition(0))`` matches ``int a``.

``parmVarDecl(isAtPosition(1))`` matches ``int b``.

Matches if the matched type is represented by the given string.

Given
  class Y { public: void x(); };
  void z() { Y* y; y->x(); }
cxxMemberCallExpr(on(hasType(asString("class Y *"))))
  matches y->x()

Matches if a node equals a previously bound node.

Matches a node if it equals the node previously bound to ID.

Given
  class X { int a; int b; };
cxxRecordDecl(
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("a"), hasType(type().bind("t")))),
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("b"), hasType(type(equalsBoundNode("t"))))))
  matches the class X, as a and b have the same type.

Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
For example:
compoundStmt(
    forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),
    forEachDescendant(declRefExpr(to(decl(equalsBoundNode("d"))))))
will trigger a match for each combination of variable declaration
and reference to that variable declaration within a compound statement.

Matches QualType nodes that have local CV-qualifiers attached to
the node, not hidden within a typedef.

Given
  typedef const int const_int;
  const_int i;
  int *const j;
  int *volatile k;
  int m;
varDecl(hasType(hasLocalQualifiers())) matches only j and k.
i is const-qualified but the qualifier is not local.

Matches QualType nodes that are of character type.

Given
  void a(char);
  void b(wchar_t);
  void c(double);
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isAnyCharacter())))

Matches QualType nodes that are of any pointer type; this includes
the Objective-C object pointer type, which is different despite being
syntactically similar.

Given
  int *i = nullptr;

  @interface Foo
  @end
  Foo *f;

  int j;
varDecl(hasType(isAnyPointer()))
  matches "int *i" and "Foo *f", but not "int j".

Matches QualType nodes that are const-qualified, i.e., that
include "top-level" const.

Given
  void a(int);
  void b(int const);
  void c(const int);
  void d(const int*);
  void e(int const) {};
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isConstQualified())))
  matches "void b(int const)", "void c(const int)" and
  "void e(int const) {}". It does not match d as there
  is no top-level const on the parameter type "const int *".

Matches QualType nodes that are of integer type.

Given
  void a(int);
  void b(long);
  void c(double);
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isInteger())))
matches "a(int)", "b(long)", but not "c(double)".

Matches QualType nodes that are of signed integer type.

Given
  void a(int);
  void b(unsigned long);
  void c(double);
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isSignedInteger())))
matches "a(int)", but not "b(unsigned long)" and "c(double)".

Matches QualType nodes that are of unsigned integer type.

Given
  void a(int);
  void b(unsigned long);
  void c(double);
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isUnsignedInteger())))
matches "b(unsigned long)", but not "a(int)" and "c(double)".

Matches QualType nodes that are volatile-qualified, i.e., that
include "top-level" volatile.

Given
  void a(int);
  void b(int volatile);
  void c(volatile int);
  void d(volatile int*);
  void e(int volatile) {};
functionDecl(hasAnyParameter(hasType(isVolatileQualified())))
  matches "void b(int volatile)", "void c(volatile int)" and
  "void e(int volatile) {}". It does not match d as there
  is no top-level volatile on the parameter type "volatile int *".

Matches if a node equals a previously bound node.

Matches a node if it equals the node previously bound to ID.

Given
  class X { int a; int b; };
cxxRecordDecl(
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("a"), hasType(type().bind("t")))),
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("b"), hasType(type(equalsBoundNode("t"))))))
  matches the class X, as a and b have the same type.

Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
For example:
compoundStmt(
    forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),
    forEachDescendant(declRefExpr(to(decl(equalsBoundNode("d"))))))
will trigger a match for each combination of variable declaration
and reference to that variable declaration within a compound statement.

Matches if a node equals another node.

Stmt has pointer identity in the AST.

    has(fieldDecl(hasName("a"), hasType(type().bind("t")))),
    has(fieldDecl(hasName("b"), hasType(type(equalsBoundNode("t"))))))
  matches the class X, as a and b have the same type.

Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
For example:
compoundStmt(
    forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),
    forEachDescendant(declRefExpr(to(decl(equalsBoundNode("d"))))))
will trigger a match for each combination of variable declaration
and reference to that variable declaration within a compound statement.

Usable as: Matcher<FunctionDecl>, Matcher<VarDecl>, Matcher<CXXRecordDecl>

Matches nodes which can be used with binary operators.

The code
  var1 != var2;
might be represented in the clang AST as a binaryOperator, a
cxxOperatorCallExpr or a cxxRewrittenBinaryOperator, depending on

* whether the types of var1 and var2 are fundamental (binaryOperator) or at
  least one is a class type (cxxOperatorCallExpr)
* whether the code appears in a template declaration, if at least one of the
  vars is a dependent-type (binaryOperator)
* whether the code relies on a rewritten binary operator, such as a
spaceship operator or an inverted equality operator
(cxxRewrittenBinaryOperator)

This matcher elides details in places where the matchers for the nodes are
compatible.

      HasSpaceship s2;
      if (s1 != s2)
          return;
  }

Matches if any of the given matchers matches.

Unlike anyOf, eachOf will generate a match result for each
matching submatcher.

For example, in:
  class A { int a; int b; };
The matcher:
  cxxRecordDecl(eachOf(has(fieldDecl(hasName("a")).bind("v")),
                       has(fieldDecl(hasName("b")).bind("v"))))
will generate two results binding "v", the first of which binds
the field declaration of a, the second the field declaration of
b.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches if the node or any descendant matches.

Generates results for each match.

For example, in:
  class A { class B {}; class C {}; };
The matcher:
  cxxRecordDecl(hasName("::A"),
                findAll(cxxRecordDecl(isDefinition()).bind("m")))
will generate results for A, B and C.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches AST nodes that have descendant AST nodes that match the
provided matcher.

Example matches X, A, A::X, B, B::C, B::C::X
  (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
  class X {};
  class A { class X {}; };  // Matches A, because A::X is a class of name
                            // X inside A.
  class B { class C { class X {}; }; };

DescendantT must be an AST base type.

As opposed to 'hasDescendant', 'forEachDescendant' will cause a match for
each result that matches instead of only on the first one.

Note: Recursively combined ForEachDescendant can cause many matches:
  cxxRecordDecl(forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(
    forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl())
  )))
will match 10 times (plus injected class name matches) on:
  class A { class B { class C { class D { class E {}; }; }; }; };

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches AST nodes that have child AST nodes that match the
provided matcher.

Example matches X, Y, Y::X, Z::Y, Z::Y::X
  (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(forEach(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))
  class X {};
  class Y { class X {}; };  // Matches Y, because Y::X is a class of name X
                            // inside Y.
  class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };  // Does not match Z.

ChildT must be an AST base type.

As opposed to 'has', 'forEach' will cause a match for each result that
matches instead of only on the first one.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches AST nodes that have an ancestor that matches the provided
matcher.

Given
void f() { if (true) { int x = 42; } }
void g() { for (;;) { int x = 43; } }
expr(integerLiteral(hasAncestor(ifStmt()))) matches 42, but not 43.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches AST nodes that have descendant AST nodes that match the
provided matcher.

Example matches X, Y, Z
    (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(hasDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
  class X {};  // Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
  class Y { class X {}; };
  class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };

DescendantT must be an AST base type.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches AST nodes that have child AST nodes that match the
provided matcher.

Example matches X, Y
  (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(has(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))
  class X {};  // Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
  class Y { class X {}; };
  class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };  // Does not match Z.

ChildT must be an AST base type.

Usable as: Any Matcher
Note that has is direct matcher, so it also matches things like implicit
casts and paren casts. If you are matching with expr then you should
probably consider using ignoringParenImpCasts like:
has(ignoringParenImpCasts(expr())).

Matches AST nodes that have a parent that matches the provided
matcher.

Given
void f() { for (;;) { int x = 42; if (true) { int x = 43; } } }
compoundStmt(hasParent(ifStmt())) matches "{ int x = 43; }".

Usable as: Any Matcher

Matches function calls and constructor calls

Because CallExpr and CXXConstructExpr do not share a common
base class with API accessing arguments etc, AST Matchers for code
which should match both are typically duplicated. This matcher
removes the need for duplication.

Given code
struct ConstructorTakesInt
{
  ConstructorTakesInt(int i) {}
};

void callTakesInt(int i)
{
}

void doCall()
{
  callTakesInt(42);
}

void doConstruct()
{
  ConstructorTakesInt cti(42);
}

The matcher
invocation(hasArgument(0, integerLiteral(equals(42))))
matches the expression in both doCall and doConstruct

Matches any node regardless of the submatcher.

However, optionally will retain any bindings generated by the submatcher.
Useful when additional information which may or may not present about a main
matching node is desired.

For example, in:
  class Foo {
    int bar;
  }
The matcher:
  cxxRecordDecl(
    optionally(has(
      fieldDecl(hasName("bar")).bind("var")
  ))).bind("record")
will produce a result binding for both "record" and "var".
The matcher will produce a "record" binding for even if there is no data
member named "bar" in that class.

Usable as: Any Matcher

Causes all nested matchers to be matched with the specified traversal kind.

Given
  void foo()
  {
      int i = 3.0;
  }
The matcher
  traverse(TK_IgnoreUnlessSpelledInSource,
    varDecl(hasInitializer(floatLiteral().bind("init")))
  )
matches the variable declaration with "init" bound to the "3.0".

Matches the condition expression of an if statement, for loop,
switch statement or conditional operator.

Example matches true (matcher = hasCondition(cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
  if (true) {}

Matches the false branch expression of a conditional operator
(binary or ternary).

Example matches b
  condition ? a : b
  condition ?: b

Matches the true branch expression of a conditional operator.

Example 1 (conditional ternary operator): matches a
  condition ? a : b

Example 2 (conditional binary operator): matches opaqueValueExpr(condition)
  condition ?: b

Matches a node if the declaration associated with that node
matches the given matcher.

The associated declaration is:
- for type nodes, the declaration of the underlying type
- for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new
- for ObjCIvarExpr, the declaration of the ivar

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

  auto b = 2.0;
autoType(hasDeducedType(isInteger()))
  matches "auto a"

Usable as: Matcher<AutoType>

binary operator matches.

Matches the left hand side of binary operator expressions.

Example matches a (matcher = binaryOperator(hasLHS()))

with hasAnyParameter(...)
  matching int y

For ObjectiveC, given

Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
declaration's type.

In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),
this resolves one layer of indirection. For example, in the value
declaration "X x;", cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")) matches the declaration of
X, while varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))) matches the
declaration of x.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))
            and public virtual X (matcher = cxxBaseSpecifier(hasType(
                                              cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X"))))
 class X {};

Usable as: Matcher<Expr>, Matcher<FriendDecl>, Matcher<ValueDecl>,
Matcher<CXXBaseSpecifier>

Matches if the expression's or declaration's type matches a type
matcher.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and U (matcher = typedefDecl(hasType(asString("int")))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))

                                              asString("class X")))
 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 typedef int U;
 class Y { friend class X; };
 class Z : public virtual X {};

Matches all arguments and their respective ParmVarDecl.

Given
  void f(int i);
  int y;
  f(y);
callExpr(
  forEachArgumentWithParam(
    declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName("y")))),
    parmVarDecl(hasType(isInteger()))
))
  matches f(y);
with declRefExpr(...)
  matching int y
and parmVarDecl(...)
  matching int i

Matches all arguments and their respective types for a CallExpr or
CXXConstructExpr. It is very similar to forEachArgumentWithParam but
it works on calls through function pointers as well.

The difference is, that function pointers do not provide access to a
ParmVarDecl, but only the QualType for each argument.

Given
  void f(int i);
  int y;
  f(y);
  void (*f_ptr)(int) = f;
  f_ptr(y);
callExpr(
  forEachArgumentWithParamType(
    declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName("y")))),
    qualType(isInteger()).bind("type)
))
  matches f(y) and f_ptr(y)
with declRefExpr(...)
  matching int y
and qualType(...)
  matching int

Matches any argument of a call expression or a constructor call
expression, or an ObjC-message-send expression.

Given
  void x(int, int, int) { int y; x(1, y, 42); }
callExpr(hasAnyArgument(declRefExpr()))
  matches x(1, y, 42)
with hasAnyArgument(...)
  matching y

For ObjectiveC, given
  @interface I - (void) f:(int) y; @end
  void foo(I *i) { [i f:12]; }
objcMessageExpr(hasAnyArgument(integerLiteral(equals(12))))
  matches [i f:12]

Matches the n'th argument of a call expression or a constructor
call expression.

Example matches y in x(y)
    (matcher = callExpr(hasArgument(0, declRefExpr())))
  void x(int) { int y; x(y); }

Matches a node if the declaration associated with that node
matches the given matcher.

The associated declaration is:
- for type nodes, the declaration of the underlying type
- for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new
- for ObjCIvarExpr, the declaration of the ivar

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

  forField(decl().bind("x"))
))
  will trigger two matches, binding for 'i' and 'j' respectively.

Matches a constructor initializer.

Given
  struct Foo {
    Foo() : foo_(1) { }
    int foo_;
  };
cxxRecordDecl(has(cxxConstructorDecl(

  record matches Foo, hasAnyConstructorInitializer matches foo_(1)

Matches the field declaration of a constructor initializer.

Given
  struct Foo {
    Foo() : foo_(1) { }

    withInitializer(integerLiteral(equals(1)))))))
  matches Foo
with withInitializer matching (1)

Matches a member expression where the object expression is matched by a
given matcher. Implicit object expressions are included; that is, it matches
use of implicit `this`.

Given
  struct X {
    int m;
    int f(X x) { x.m; return m; }
  };
memberExpr(hasObjectExpression(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
  matches `x.m`, but not `m`; however,
memberExpr(hasObjectExpression(hasType(pointsTo(
     cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X"))))))

cxxTemporaryObjectExpr(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("int"))))
  matches int(3)

struct Foo { Foo(int, int); };
auto x = Foo(1, 2);
cxxFunctionalCastExpr(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("struct Foo"))))

  Matcher<DeclaratorDecl>, Matcher<ExplicitCastExpr>,
  Matcher<ObjCPropertyDecl>, Matcher<TemplateArgumentLoc>,
  Matcher<TypedefNameDecl>

Matches on the implicit object argument of a member call expression. Unlike
`on`, matches the argument directly without stripping away anything.

Given
  class Y { public: void m(); };
  Y g();
  class X : public Y { void g(); };
  void z(Y y, X x) { y.m(); x.m(); x.g(); (g()).m(); }
cxxMemberCallExpr(onImplicitObjectArgument(hasType(
    cxxRecordDecl(hasName("Y")))))
  matches `y.m()`, `x.m()` and (g()).m(), but not `x.g()`.
cxxMemberCallExpr(on(callExpr()))
  does not match `(g()).m()`, because the parens are not ignored.

FIXME: Overload to allow directly matching types?

Matches on the implicit object argument of a member call expression, after
stripping off any parentheses or implicit casts.

Given
  class Y { public: void m(); };
  Y g();
  class X : public Y {};
  void z(Y y, X x) { y.m(); (g()).m(); x.m(); }
cxxMemberCallExpr(on(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("Y")))))
  matches `y.m()` and `(g()).m()`.
cxxMemberCallExpr(on(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
  matches `x.m()`.
cxxMemberCallExpr(on(callExpr()))
  matches `(g()).m()`.

FIXME: Overload to allow directly matching types?

Overloaded to match the type's declaration.

Matches if the type of the expression's implicit object argument either
matches the InnerMatcher, or is a pointer to a type that matches the
InnerMatcher.

Given
  class Y { public: void m(); };
  class X : public Y { void g(); };
  void z() { Y y; y.m(); Y *p; p->m(); X x; x.m(); x.g(); }
cxxMemberCallExpr(thisPointerType(hasDeclaration(

  matches `y.m()`, `p->m()` and `x.m()`.
cxxMemberCallExpr(thisPointerType(hasDeclaration(
    cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))

Matches each method overridden by the given method. This matcher may
produce multiple matches.

Given

  class B : public A { void f(); };
  class C : public B { void f(); };
cxxMethodDecl(ofClass(hasName("C")),
              forEachOverridden(cxxMethodDecl().bind("b"))).bind("d")
  matches once, with "b" binding "A::f" and "d" binding "C::f" (Note
  that B::f is not overridden by C::f).

The check can produce multiple matches in case of multiple inheritance, e.g.
  class A1 { virtual void f(); };
  class A2 { virtual void f(); };
  class C : public A1, public A2 { void f(); };
cxxMethodDecl(ofClass(hasName("C")),
              forEachOverridden(cxxMethodDecl().bind("b"))).bind("d")

  Matcher<ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl>, Matcher<CompoundLiteralExpr>,
  Matcher<DeclaratorDecl>, Matcher<ExplicitCastExpr>,
  Matcher<ObjCPropertyDecl>, Matcher<TemplateArgumentLoc>,
  Matcher<TypedefNameDecl>

Matches any argument of a call expression or a constructor call
expression, or an ObjC-message-send expression.

Given
  void x(int, int, int) { int y; x(1, y, 42); }
callExpr(hasAnyArgument(declRefExpr()))
  matches x(1, y, 42)
with hasAnyArgument(...)
  matching y

For ObjectiveC, given
  @interface I - (void) f:(int) y; @end
  void foo(I *i) { [i f:12]; }
objcMessageExpr(hasAnyArgument(integerLiteral(equals(12))))
  matches [i f:12]

Matches the n'th argument of a call expression or a constructor
call expression.

Example matches y in x(y)
    (matcher = callExpr(hasArgument(0, declRefExpr())))
  void x(int) { int y; x(y); }

Matches if the type location of a node matches the inner matcher.

Examples:
  int x;
declaratorDecl(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("int"))))
  matches int x

auto x = int(3);
cxxTemporaryObjectExpr(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("int"))))
  matches int(3)

struct Foo { Foo(int, int); };
auto x = Foo(1, 2);
cxxFunctionalCastExpr(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("struct Foo"))))
  matches Foo(1, 2)

Usable as: Matcher<BlockDecl>, Matcher<CXXBaseSpecifier>,
  Matcher<CXXCtorInitializer>, Matcher<CXXFunctionalCastExpr>,
  Matcher<CXXNewExpr>, Matcher<CXXTemporaryObjectExpr>,
  Matcher<CXXUnresolvedConstructExpr>,

  Matcher<DeclaratorDecl>, Matcher<ExplicitCastExpr>,
  Matcher<ObjCPropertyDecl>, Matcher<TemplateArgumentLoc>,
  Matcher<TypedefNameDecl>

Matches if the call expression's callee's declaration matches the
given matcher.

Example matches y.x() (matcher = callExpr(callee(
                                   cxxMethodDecl(hasName("x")))))
  class Y { public: void x(); };
  void z() { Y y; y.x(); }

Matches if the call expression's callee expression matches.

Given
  class Y { void x() { this->x(); x(); Y y; y.x(); } };
  void f() { f(); }
callExpr(callee(expr()))
  matches this->x(), x(), y.x(), f()
with callee(...)
  matching this->x, x, y.x, f respectively

Note: Callee cannot take the more general internal::Matcher<Expr>
because this introduces ambiguous overloads with calls to Callee taking a
internal::Matcher<Decl>, as the matcher hierarchy is purely
implemented in terms of implicit casts.

Matches all arguments and their respective ParmVarDecl.

Given
  void f(int i);
  int y;
  f(y);
callExpr(
  forEachArgumentWithParam(
    declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName("y")))),
    parmVarDecl(hasType(isInteger()))
))
  matches f(y);
with declRefExpr(...)
  matching int y
and parmVarDecl(...)
  matching int i

Matches all arguments and their respective types for a CallExpr or
CXXConstructExpr. It is very similar to forEachArgumentWithParam but
it works on calls through function pointers as well.

The difference is, that function pointers do not provide access to a
ParmVarDecl, but only the QualType for each argument.

Given
  void f(int i);
  int y;
  f(y);
  void (*f_ptr)(int) = f;
  f_ptr(y);
callExpr(
  forEachArgumentWithParamType(
    declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName("y")))),
    qualType(isInteger()).bind("type)
))
  matches f(y) and f_ptr(y)
with declRefExpr(...)
  matching int y
and qualType(...)
  matching int

Matches any argument of a call expression or a constructor call
expression, or an ObjC-message-send expression.

Given
  void x(int, int, int) { int y; x(1, y, 42); }
callExpr(hasAnyArgument(declRefExpr()))
  matches x(1, y, 42)
with hasAnyArgument(...)
  matching y

For ObjectiveC, given
  @interface I - (void) f:(int) y; @end
  void foo(I *i) { [i f:12]; }
objcMessageExpr(hasAnyArgument(integerLiteral(equals(12))))
  matches [i f:12]

Matches the n'th argument of a call expression or a constructor
call expression.

Example matches y in x(y)
    (matcher = callExpr(hasArgument(0, declRefExpr())))
  void x(int) { int y; x(y); }

Matches a node if the declaration associated with that node
matches the given matcher.

The associated declaration is:
- for type nodes, the declaration of the underlying type
- for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new
- for ObjCIvarExpr, the declaration of the ivar

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

caseStmt(hasCaseConstant(integerLiteral()))
  matches "case 1:"

Matches if the cast's source expression
or opaque value's source expression matches the given matcher.

Example 1: matches "a string"
(matcher = castExpr(hasSourceExpression(cxxConstructExpr())))
class URL { URL(string); };
URL url = "a string";

Example 2: matches 'b' (matcher =
opaqueValueExpr(hasSourceExpression(implicitCastExpr(declRefExpr())))
int a = b ?: 1;

  matches the specialization A<bool, int>

functionDecl(hasTemplateArgument(0, refersToType(asString("int"))))
  matches the specialization f<int>

Matches the decayed type, whoes decayed type matches InnerMatcher

Matches a node if the declaration associated with that node
matches the given matcher.

The associated declaration is:
- for type nodes, the declaration of the underlying type

- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:

Matches a DeclRefExpr that refers to a declaration through a
specific using shadow declaration.

Given
  namespace a { void f() {} }
  using a::f;
  void g() {
    f();     // Matches this ..
    a::f();  // .. but not this.
  }
declRefExpr(throughUsingDecl(anything()))
  matches f()

Matches a DeclRefExpr that refers to a declaration that matches the
specified matcher.

Example matches x in if(x)
    (matcher = declRefExpr(to(varDecl(hasName("x")))))
  bool x;
  if (x) {}

Matches the n'th declaration of a declaration statement.

Note that this does not work for global declarations because the AST
breaks up multiple-declaration DeclStmt's into multiple single-declaration
DeclStmt's.
Example: Given non-global declarations
  int a, b = 0;
  int c;
  int d = 2, e;
declStmt(containsDeclaration(
      0, varDecl(hasInitializer(anything()))))
  matches only 'int d = 2, e;', and
declStmt(containsDeclaration(1, varDecl()))
  matches 'int a, b = 0' as well as 'int d = 2, e;'
  but 'int c;' is not matched.

Matches the Decl of a DeclStmt which has a single declaration.

Given

    namespace M {
      class D {};
    }
  }

cxxRcordDecl(hasDeclContext(namedDecl(hasName("M")))) matches the
declaration of class D.

Matches DecltypeType nodes to find out the underlying type.

Given
  decltype(1) a = 1;
  decltype(2.0) b = 2.0;
decltypeType(hasUnderlyingType(isInteger()))
  matches the type of "a"

Usable as: Matcher<DecltypeType>

Matches any binding of a DecompositionDecl.

For example, in:
void foo()
{
    int arr[3];
    auto &[f, s, t] = arr;

    f = 42;
}
The matcher:
  decompositionDecl(hasAnyBinding(bindingDecl(hasName("f").bind("fBinding"))))
matches the decomposition decl with 'f' bound to "fBinding".

Matches the Nth binding of a DecompositionDecl.

For example, in:
void foo()
{
    int arr[3];
    auto &[f, s, t] = arr;

    f = 42;
}
The matcher:
  decompositionDecl(hasBinding(0,
  bindingDecl(hasName("f").bind("fBinding"))))
matches the decomposition decl with 'f' bound to "fBinding".

Matches the condition expression of an if statement, for loop,
switch statement or conditional operator.

Example matches true (matcher = hasCondition(cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
  if (true) {}

Matches ElaboratedTypes whose qualifier, a NestedNameSpecifier,
matches InnerMatcher if the qualifier exists.

Given
  namespace N {
    namespace M {
      class D {};
    }

  N::M::D d;

elaboratedType(hasQualifier(hasPrefix(specifiesNamespace(hasName("N"))))
matches the type of the variable declaration of d.

Matches ElaboratedTypes whose named type matches InnerMatcher.

Given
  namespace N {
    namespace M {

  }
  N::M::D d;

hasDeclaration(namedDecl(hasName("D")))))) matches the type of the variable
declaration of d.

- for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new
- for ObjCIvarExpr, the declaration of the ivar

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

  Matcher<TemplateTypeParmType>, Matcher<TypedefType>,
  Matcher<UnresolvedUsingType>

Matches casts whose destination type matches a given matcher.

(Note: Clang's AST refers to other conversions as "casts" too, and calls
actual casts "explicit" casts.)

Matches if the type location of a node matches the inner matcher.

Examples:
  int x;
declaratorDecl(hasTypeLoc(loc(asString("int"))))
  matches int x

auto x = int(3);

  Matcher<TypedefNameDecl>

Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
declaration's type.

In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),
this resolves one layer of indirection. For example, in the value
declaration "X x;", cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")) matches the declaration of
X, while varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))) matches the
declaration of x.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))
            and public virtual X (matcher = cxxBaseSpecifier(hasType(

 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 class Y { friend class X; };
 class Z : public virtual X {};

Example matches class Derived
(matcher = cxxRecordDecl(hasAnyBase(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("Base"))))))
class Base {};
class Derived : Base {};

Usable as: Matcher<Expr>, Matcher<FriendDecl>, Matcher<ValueDecl>,
Matcher<CXXBaseSpecifier>

Matches if the expression's or declaration's type matches a type
matcher.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))

            and public virtual X (matcher = cxxBaseSpecifier(hasType(
                                              asString("class X")))
 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 typedef int U;
 class Y { friend class X; };
 class Z : public virtual X {};

Matches expressions that match InnerMatcher that are possibly wrapped in an
elidable constructor and other corresponding bookkeeping nodes.

In C++17, elidable copy constructors are no longer being generated in the
AST as it is not permitted by the standard. They are, however, part of the
AST in C++14 and earlier. So, a matcher must abstract over these differences
to work in all language modes. This matcher skips elidable constructor-call
AST nodes, `ExprWithCleanups` nodes wrapping elidable constructor-calls and
various implicit nodes inside the constructor calls, all of which will not
appear in the C++17 AST.

Given

struct H {};
H G();
void f() {
  H D = G();
}

``varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringElidableConstructorCall(callExpr())))``
matches ``H D = G()`` in C++11 through C++17 (and beyond).

Matches expressions that match InnerMatcher after any implicit casts
are stripped off.

Parentheses and explicit casts are not discarded.
Given
  int arr[5];
  int a = 0;
  char b = 0;
  const int c = a;
  int *d = arr;
  long e = (long) 0l;
The matchers
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringImpCasts(integerLiteral())))
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringImpCasts(declRefExpr())))
would match the declarations for a, b, c, and d, but not e.
While
   varDecl(hasInitializer(integerLiteral()))
   varDecl(hasInitializer(declRefExpr()))
only match the declarations for a.

Matches expressions that match InnerMatcher after any implicit AST
nodes are stripped off.

Parentheses and explicit casts are not discarded.
Given
  class C {};
  C a = C();
  C b;
  C c = b;
The matchers
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringImplicit(cxxConstructExpr())))
would match the declarations for a, b, and c.
While
   varDecl(hasInitializer(cxxConstructExpr()))
only match the declarations for b and c.

Matches expressions that match InnerMatcher after parentheses and
casts are stripped off.

Implicit and non-C Style casts are also discarded.
Given
  int a = 0;
  char b = (0);
  void* c = reinterpret_cast<char*>(0);
  char d = char(0);
The matcher
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringParenCasts(integerLiteral())))
would match the declarations for a, b, c, and d.
while
   varDecl(hasInitializer(integerLiteral()))
only match the declaration for a.

parentheses are stripped off.

Explicit casts are not discarded.
Given
  int arr[5];
  int a = 0;
  char b = (0);
  const int c = a;
  int *d = (arr);
  long e = ((long) 0l);
The matchers
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringParenImpCasts(integerLiteral())))
   varDecl(hasInitializer(ignoringParenImpCasts(declRefExpr())))
would match the declarations for a, b, c, and d, but not e.
while
   varDecl(hasInitializer(integerLiteral()))
   varDecl(hasInitializer(declRefExpr()))
would only match the declaration for a.

Overload ignoringParens for Expr.

Given
  const char* str = ("my-string");
The matcher
  implicitCastExpr(hasSourceExpression(ignoringParens(stringLiteral())))
would match the implicit cast resulting from the assignment.

Matches non-static data members that have an in-class initializer.

Given
  class C {
    int a = 2;
    int b = 3;
    int c;
  };
fieldDecl(hasInClassInitializer(integerLiteral(equals(2))))
  matches 'int a;' but not 'int b;'.
fieldDecl(hasInClassInitializer(anything()))
  matches 'int a;' and 'int b;' but not 'int c;'.

Matches the condition expression of an if statement, for loop,
switch statement or conditional operator.

Example matches true (matcher = hasCondition(cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
  if (true) {}

Matches the increment statement of a for loop.

Example:
    forStmt(hasIncrement(unaryOperator(hasOperatorName("++"))))
matches '++x' in
    for (x; x < N; ++x) { }

Matches the initialization statement of a for loop.

Example:
    forStmt(hasLoopInit(declStmt()))
matches 'int x = 0' in
    for (int x = 0; x < N; ++x) { }

Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
declaration's type.

In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),
this resolves one layer of indirection. For example, in the value
declaration "X x;", cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")) matches the declaration of
X, while varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))) matches the
declaration of x.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))
            and public virtual X (matcher = cxxBaseSpecifier(hasType(

 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 class Y { friend class X; };
 class Z : public virtual X {};

 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 typedef int U;
 class Y { friend class X; };
 class Z : public virtual X {};

- for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
- for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
- for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
- for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
declaration's type.

In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),
this resolves one layer of indirection. For example, in the value
declaration "X x;", cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")) matches the declaration of
X, while varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))) matches the
declaration of x.
