clang_createIndex

\brief clang_createIndex() provides a shared context for creating translation units. It provides two options:

- excludeDeclarationsFromPCH: When non-zero, allows enumeration of "local" declarations (when loading any new translation units). A "local" declaration is one that belongs in the translation unit itself and not in a precompiled header that was used by the translation unit. If zero, all declarations will be enumerated.

Here is an example:

// excludeDeclsFromPCH = 1, displayDiagnostics=1 Idx = clang_createIndex(1, 1);

// IndexTest.pch was produced with the following command: // "clang -x c IndexTest.h -emit-ast -o IndexTest.pch" TU = clang_createTranslationUnit(Idx, "IndexTest.pch");

// This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.pch' clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU), TranslationUnitVisitor, 0); clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);

// This will load all the symbols from 'IndexTest.c', excluding symbols // from 'IndexTest.pch'. char* args[] = { "-Xclang", "-include-pch=IndexTest.pch" } TU = clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(Idx, "IndexTest.c", 2, args, 0, 0); clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU), TranslationUnitVisitor, 0); clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU);

This process of creating the 'pch', loading it separately, and using it (via -include-pch) allows 'excludeDeclsFromPCH' to remove redundant callbacks (which gives the indexer the same performance benefit as the compiler).
