Its job is covered by -ast-dump. The option is rarely used and lacks many AST nodes which will lead to llvm_unreachable() crash.

Do we need -print-decl-contexts at all? It's not exposed by the driver, not tested, not documented, has a very strange output format (the bracketing character supplies some information about the kind of declaration, but it's not clear *what* information), and it doesn't really seem to provide any value given that we also have the maintained, tested, and actively-used -ast-dump flag, as well as programmatic interfaces to this information via libclang.
The only reason I can see to keep it would be if there's some external tool that's parsing its output, which this patch would break.

427–431 | You don't need a switch for this either. if (auto *ND = dyn_cast<NamedDecl>(I)) and ND->getDeclKindName() should work fine. | |
498–499 | You've lost this special case. |
Looks good to me. Please first mail cfe-dev announcing this change and wait a day or so for anyone using this feature to speak up before committing.
