[clang] Make handling of unnamed template params similar to function params
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Clang uses the location identifier should be inserted for declarator
decls when a decl is unnamed. But for type template and template template
paramaters it uses the location of "typename/class" keyword, which makes it hard
for tooling to insert/change parameter names.

This change tries to unify these two cases by making template parameter
parsing and sourcerange operations similar to function params/declarator decls.

Could you provide more details why we need this change?

clang/lib/Parse/ParseTemplate.cpp
633

What happens if there's a comment? E.g.

template <class /*Something*/>

where would we point to and does that align with the function parameter case?

clang/lib/Sema/SemaTemplate.cpp
1008

NIT: maybe remove the extra variable and use ParamNameLoc everywhere?

clang/test/AST/ast-dump-record-definition-data-json.cpp
398–399

Does that mean we do not have locations in some cases now?
Is that a regression?

added comments, you can also see the similar case in DeclaratorDecl::getSourceRange()

clang/lib/Parse/ParseTemplate.cpp
633

that's same with parmvardecl case, both refer to beginning of the next token that has been lexed.

I believe not, this test is a little bit weird, if you look at the code at the beginning, it doesn't contain any "template" stuff explicitly.
So this is rather coming from implicit nodes(that doesn't have any line numbers but only column numbers)

Previously test was checking the "class" as the name of the parmdecl, hence the tokLen: 4, now it is unnamed therefore no ranges for it.
though we still have the location marker for class (col:29 tokLen: 4)

Could you provide an example? What the range was before and what is it now?

clang/lib/Parse/ParseTemplate.cpp

ok, LG, thanks

clang/test/AST/ast-dump-record-definition-data-json.cpp

Agree, these tests do not seem to test this at all, e.g. there are other nodes which are output without any locations.
LGTM

TypeDecl::getSourceRange will also include the next token if template parameter is unnamed for example:

template <typename>
          ~~~~~~~~~

has the following > covered inside typerange.

Thanks for clearing this up. Could you mention in the comment why TypeDecl::getSourceRange is wrong in that case?

From offline discussion, I figured that it should not be pointing to the name location in the case of un-named parameters as this would lead to the closing angle bracket being included in the range for template parameter, i.e. we'll get <[[class>]] instead of <[[class]]>

515

getName() may fail if the name is not an identifier.
Even though this shouldn't happen for TypeDecls, could you please change to getDeclName().isEmpty()?

It's equivalent and does not have any assertions.
