[clang-tidy] Fix PR32896: detect initializer lists in modernize-use-empalce
ClosedPublic

Authored by kuhar on May 2 2017, 3:57 PM.

Details

Summary

This patch fixes PR32896.

The problem was that modernize-use-emplace incorrectly removed changed push_back into emplace_back, removing explicit constructor call with initializer list parameter, resulting in compiler error after applying fixits.
modernize-use-emplace used to check if matched constructor had InitListExpr, but didn't check against CXXStdInitializerListExpr.

Eg.

std::vector<std::vector<int>> v;
  v.push_back(std::vector<int>({1})); // --> v.emplace_back({1});

Thank you! One comment inline.

This should be a node matcher rather than a narrowing matcher, and it should be placed to ASTMatchers.h, if there is no such matcher already.

I wanted to backport this fix to 4.0.1 release after applying it in trunk.
I thought that adding a new ASTMatcher would introduce an API change in clang, and I'm not sure if it's much welcome.

Maybe it would be better to introduce a new matcher in ASTMatchers.h in trunk and make it an internal narrowing matcher in the backported patch? What would be best?

Why adding new matcher to 4.0.1 release is bad? Will it break anything?

The example that I originally came up with was updating clang-tidy to 4.0.1 while keeping clang libs 4.0.0, but since we just include all the matchers I think it should work fine.

Here's a patch with the new matcher: https://reviews.llvm.org/D32810

Because it doesn't meet the criteria for doing a point release, generally speaking.

I think a better approach is to leave this matcher as part of this patch, get the patch submitted, then Tom can cherrypick the commit for 4.0.1. You can then submit a second patch to hoist this matcher out to ASTMatchers.h and use it within this check. (Basically do it in two steps.)

This looks odd to me. Can you do:

const internal::VariadicDynCastAllOfMatcher<Expr, CXXStdInitializerListExpr> cxxStdInitializerListExpr;

I'm not certain whether this works or not, but we don't have matchers that just return true.

I switched from a narrowing matcher to a "normal" node matcher.
