that's a great change to have, but maybe leave it out of this patch?

1599

can we rather have a template like:

template <typename HierarchyItem>
HierarchyItem fromDecl(const NamedDecl &ND) {
HierarchyItem Result;
auto &Ctx = ND.getASTContext();
....
return Result;
}

To merge this one with the declToCallHierarchy ? The only separate bit seems to be around deprecated. They can be set explicitly outside. (looks like we forgot to add the SymbolTag for deprecated here)

1659

can we log the error instead?

1664

nit: early exit if (!FuncOrFuncTempl)continue;

1672

this can be merged with the typehierarchy implementation using a similar template trick mentioned above.

1676

let's elog instead. I think just saying Failed to convert symbol to hierarchy item: {0} should be fine in the merged implementation.

1703

the error needs to be consumed (preferably by logging)

1707

i suppose the main problem is we might have false positives:

void foo();
void bar() {
 funcTakingFunc(&foo);
}

bar looks like it is calling foo, but it isn't. but i think it is useful, and probably the only place we can point out a potential indirect call without crazy static analysis. So even if we had separate kinds for call and mere references, i believe we would still surface both. Hence, can we just mention this caveat rather than putting a fixme here?

1715

early exit, also the error needs to be consumed

1718

instead of performing a lookup per reference, can we just accumulate the symbolids and do a single lookup after finding all the unique containers?

clang-tools-extra/clangd/XRefs.h
109

what's the distinction between empty and none return values ? (same for others)

110

why do we need the index in this one?

114

In theory AST will have more up-to-date information about ranges/occurrences within the current file. As dynamic index for it might be stale. (the same goes for typehierarchy, we've just forgot about it at the time).

But going from SymbolID to an AST node isn't cheap, especially when the declaration isn't inside the main file. So I suppose it is OK to move with an index only implementation for now, but we should leave a FIXME to remind us about the situation.

Since we are unifying the function with symbolToCallHierarchyItem, and that didn't have an Index parameter, it made more sense to keep the removal.

clang-tools-extra/clangd/XRefs.h

Generally speaking, a None result means "the input was not recognized in some way", while an empty vector result means "there are no results for this input".

For prepareCallHierarchy, the inputs encode a source location, and the operation asks "give me CallHierarchyItems for suitable declarations (i.e. functions) at this location. So, None means "the source location could not be recognized" (sourceLocationInMainFile failed), while an empty result means "there are no declarations of functions at this location".

For incomingCalls and outgoingCalls, the inputs encode a declaration of a function, and the operation asks "give me its callers / callees". So, a None means "could not locate the function (i.e. symbol)", while an empty result means "this function has no callers / callees".

Update variable names and remove a commented declaration

mostly LG, i haven't looked at the tests yet though.

clang-tools-extra/clangd/XRefs.cpp

nit: redundant braces

1352

nit: merge the two conditions and drop the braces.

1360

can you qualify Optional here and elsewhere?

1381–1394

nit: drop std::move

1387

nit: redundant braces

1396

nit: again merge conditions and drop braces

1613

Results.emplace_back(std::move(*CHI)) ?

1622

nit: auto ID

1639

... by SymbolID of the caller.

1642

nit: s/ResultMap/CallsIn ?

I would also suggest changing value type to SmallVector<Range, 1> that way rather than having a "partially filled" IncomingCall objects in the middle, you can create valid ones directly within the lookup.

1653

nit: auto It = ResultMap.try_emplace(R.Container, CallHierarchyIncomingCall{}).first

1664

why don't we assert this instead?

clang-tools-extra/clangd/XRefs.h
109

Generally speaking, a None result means "the input was not recognized in some way", while an empty vector result means "there are no results for this input".

Makes sense, but that sounds like an implementation detail. I don't see any difference between the two from caller's point of view. Even the logging happens inside the implementation. As for interpreting llvm::None by the caller, i believe it is subject to change, so unless we return an Expected, there's not much value in returning an Optional, and even in such a case, caller probably can't do much but propagate the error (maybe also try with Pos+/-1, but usually that's handled within the XRefs as well).

Returning an empty container is also coherent with rest of the APIs we have in XRefs.h.

So I believe we should drop the optionals here.

The protocol specifies return types of CallHierarchyItem[] | null for prepareCallHierarchy and CallHierarchyIncomingCall[] | null for incomingCalls.

The | null in there suggests that the protocol intends for there to be a semantic difference between an empty array and null, and that clients may want to do things differently in the two caes (e.g. show an "unable to compute call hierarchy" error dialog vs. show an emty tree).

yes, that's indeed a possibility, and the same goes for other features like textDocument/{definition,declaration,references}. AFAICT, we don't signal the difference between "no results" and "something went wrong" for those, and haven't received any complaints yet. So I'd rather keep them coherent, and replace all of them if we see that there are clients taking different actions for real.

I went with std::vector<Range> as we eventually need that for the final result, and we can move it from one place to another.

Ok, removed the Optional for consistency with other requests.

This looks great! Thanks a lot for bearing with me and doing all of this!

clang-tools-extra/clangd/XRefs.cpp
1613

please put the deref inside std::move. as move semantics of Optional are optional (no pun intended :P), i.e. depends on LLVM_HAS_RVALUE_REFERENCE_THIS.

Address final review comment

Thank you for the reviews!

This revision was landed with ongoing or failed builds.Nov 23 2020, 5:44 PM
This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

It looks like CallHierarchy.IncomingOneFile in failing on a few of the buildbots (e.g. clang-ppc64be-linux and clang-s390x-linux), while passing on most of them. I cannot reproduce the failure locally.

Any suggestions for what might be the cause, or how to investigate?

the order of elements in IncomingLevel2 is not sorted, so on some buildbots you are receiving "caller3" as the first element of the result, and "caller2" in others.

sorry for missing it the first time, it might make sense to sort containers by name before returning from incomingCalls
