How can I get a function's signature (or at least the entire definition?) as a string using Clang/Libclang, assuming I have its CXCursor or so?
I think that the definition may be somehow obtainable by using the cursor's extents, but I don't really know how (what function to use).
You can use this simple code to get prototype of a function ( name, return type, count of arguments and arguments[name,data type]).
string Convert(const CXString& s)
{
string result = clang_getCString(s);
clang_disposeString(s);
return result;
}
void print_function_prototype(CXCursor cursor)
{
// TODO : Print data!
auto type = clang_getCursorType(cursor);
auto function_name = Convert(clang_getCursorSpelling(cursor));
auto return_type = Convert(clang_getTypeSpelling(clang_getResultType(type)));
int num_args = clang_Cursor_getNumArguments(cursor);
for (int i = 0; i < num_args; ++i)
{
auto arg_cursor = clang_Cursor_getArgument(cursor, i);
auto arg_name = Convert(clang_getCursorSpelling(arg_cursor));
if (arg_name.empty())
{
arg_name = "no name!";
}
auto arg_data_type = Convert(clang_getTypeSpelling(clang_getArgType(type, i)));
}
}
CXChildVisitResult functionVisitor(CXCursor cursor, CXCursor /* parent */, CXClientData /* clientData */)
{
if (clang_Location_isFromMainFile(clang_getCursorLocation(cursor)) == 0)
return CXChildVisit_Continue;
CXCursorKind kind = clang_getCursorKind(cursor);
if ((kind == CXCursorKind::CXCursor_FunctionDecl || kind == CXCursorKind::CXCursor_CXXMethod || kind == CXCursorKind::CXCursor_FunctionTemplate || \
kind == CXCursorKind::CXCursor_Constructor))
{
print_function_prototype(cursor);
}
return CXChildVisit_Continue;
}
