* ClangCodeModel plugin has class CXPrettyPrinter that prints clang-c types in JSON-like format. Use it to debug and feel free to improve this class.

== Clang bugs with known workarounds ==

* Sometimes diagnostic message have one empty SourceRange, which breaks SourceLocation-based euristic. Example:
<code>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
 std::vector<> a;
 return 0;
}
</code>
CXPrettyPrinter reports:
<code>
CXDiagnostic: {
 'error: too few template arguments for class template 'vector''

== Clang bugs ==
Links to reported bugs will be attached in future

* inside lambda, clang doesn't include mutable (non-const) methods of current class even if 'this' was captured by lambda
Bug: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15085
See example, completion requested in point marked with '#' sign

<code>
void UnitConsumer::visitChildren()
{
 visitChildren(cursor, [this](const CXCursor &cursor, const CXCursor & /*parent*/) {
 if (cursor.kind == CXCursor_FieldDecl) {
 #
 }
 });
}
</code>

* Clang does not add virtual functions to proposals list
<code>
class Base
{
public:
 virtual void overrideMe(int a);
};

class Derived : public Base
{
public:
 void #
};
</code>

* no way to differ method definition and call with qualifier: completion strings and contexts are the same in both cases: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15745
<code>
class Foo
{
public:
 void declarable(int a, float b);
};

void Foo::declarable(int a, float b)
{
 if (a != 1)
 Foo::declarable(1, 2.0);
}
</code>

Poor diagnostic for such code if C11 disabled
<code>
enum class EnumScoped
{
};
</code>

* clang does not add classes to completion proposals when completing 'foreach'

* when declaring variable, variable itself proposed with highest priority. It's error.

* Macro completions not added after class keyword
<code>
class CLANG_EXPORT CodeCompletionResult
{
};
</code>

* Wrong completions inside function-try-block in constructor: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15660
<code>
class Class
{
 int a;
 int '''c;
public:
 Class(int b) try : a(b), c(new int)
 {
 }
 catch (…)
 {
 // no "delete" proposed
 }
};
</code>

''' Completion with nested names lookup not performed for comparison with enum value
<code>
 if (lexer.tokenKind() == Token::LeftBrace) {
 }
</code>

* Value types completions added where thay shouldn't be
<code>
QStringList createClangOptions(CPlusPlus::ProjectFile::Kind language,
 CPlusPlus::ProjectPart::CXXExtensions extensions,
 CPlusPlus::ProjectPart::,
 CPlusPlus::ProjectPart::QtVersion qtVersion,
 const QList<QByteArray> &defines,
 const QStringList &includePaths,
 const QStringList &frameworkPaths);
</code>

* C''+11 'override' pseudo-keyword breaks clang_annotateTokens()
<code>
bool init() override;
</code>

* Poor completion context recognition in template params
<code>
std::vector<#> myVector;
</code>

* Clang doesn't add Informative completion chunk to macro. It better to add macro definition text to informative.
<code>
#define MACRO std::min(left, right)

// Completion proposal "MACRO" doesn't have chunk of kind Informative with text "std::min(left, right)"
</code>

* Completion stops after asterisk:
<code>
ButtonsFactory '''ButtonsFactory::ms_instance = 0;
ButtonsFactory*// completion requested here
</code>

* Macro trick used in GLEW library not handled by completion: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15631

* Completion results for function with optional arguments does not have default argument value: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=14477
