Windows上安装libclang的方法

在官网https://llvm.org/下载LLVM Win Installer。安装完成后，在安装目录下找libclang.dll。

Mac上安装libclang的python绑定的方法

pip install clang

Mac上libclang的位置

With the latest (appstore) XCode 4.3.2, the location changed, it can now be found in

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libclang.dylib

The /Developer directory, among others, no longer exists by default. Everything is now packaged inside the XCode application, so that delta updates from the appstore work.

找不到Cursor_ref方法的问题

AttributeError: module 'clang.cindex' has no attribute 'Cursor_ref'

您需要将ref_node = clang.cindex.Cursor_ref(node)更改为ref_node = node.get_definition()，以避免获得AttributeError，因为Cursor_ref不再是clang.cindex模块的属性。

Python代码find_ref.py

 #!/usr/bin/env python
 """ Usage: call with <filename> <typename>
 """

 import sys
 import clang.cindex

 def find_typerefs(node, typename):
     """ Find all references to the type named 'typename'
     """
     if node.kind.is_reference():
         ref_node = node.get_definition()
         if ref_node.spelling == typename:
             print('Found %s [line=%s, col=%s]' % (typename, node.location.line, node.location.column))

     # Recurse for children of this node
     for c in node.get_children():
         find_typerefs(c, typename)

 index = clang.cindex.Index.create()
 tu = index.parse(sys.argv[1])
 print('Translation unit:', tu.spelling)
 find_typerefs(tu.cursor, sys.argv[2])

C++代码person.cpp

 class Person {
 };

 class Room {
 public:
     void add_person(Person person)
     {
         // do stuff
     }

 private:
     Person* people_in_room;
 };

 template <class T, int N>
 class Bag<T, N> {
 };

 int main()
 {
     Person* p = new Person();
     Bag<Person, 42> bagofpersons;

     return 0;
 }

运行

python3 find_ref.py person.cpp Person
