The new method is a wrapper of CXXConstructorDecl::isExplicit and
CXXConversionDecl::isExplicit, allowing the user to recognize whether
the declaration pointed to by a cursor was marked with the explicit
specifier.
An export for the function, together with its documentation, was added
to "clang/include/clang-c/Index.h" with an implementation provided in
"clang/tools/libclang/CIndex.cpp".
The implementation is based on similar clang_CXXMethod
implementations, returning a falsy unsigned value when the cursor is not
a declaration, is not a declaration for a constructor or conversion
function or is not a relevant declaration that was marked with the
explicit specifier.
The new symbol was added to "clang/tools/libclang/libclang.map" to be
exported, under the LLVM16 tag.
"clang/tools/c-index-test/c-index-test.c" was modified to print a
specific tag, "(explicit)", for cursors that are recognized by
clang_CXXMethod_isExplicit.
Two new regression files, "explicit-constructor.cpp" and
"explicit-conversion-function.cpp", were added to "clang/test/Index", to
ensure that the behavior of the new function is correct for constructors
and conversion functions, respectively.
The "get-cursor.cpp", "index-file.cpp" and
"recursive-cxx-member-calls.cpp" regression files in "clang/test/Index"
were updated as they were affected by the new "(explicit)" tag.
A binding for the new function was added to libclang's python's
bindings, in "clang/bindings/python/clang/cindex.py", as the
"is_explicit_method" method under Cursor.
An accompanying test was added to
"clang/bindings/python/tests/cindex/test_cursor.py", mimicking the
regression tests for the C side.
The current release note for Clang, "clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst" was
modified to report the new addition under the "libclang" section.
You might want to add documentation about:
so it's not about the syntactic element of there being an explicit, it's about what it resolves to.
