As an explanation for this patch my original mail to cfe-dev:
I'm using libclang to parse header files and generate code from them. I
found that clang_getTypeSpelling() usually includes the namespace(s) a
type was declared in. However with the exception being typedefs (and
same for "using A = B"). Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior,
but it seems at least inconsistent. I also couldn't really find a good
workaround for this. I'd have to manually figure out all typedefs (not
just pure typedefs, they could also be nested template arguments or
whatever) and then their originating namespaces. This is a bit
cumbersome and not really straight forward. Getting the canonical type
is also not really a solution as I would like to keep the typedefs.
Minimal example:
namespace foo {
class Bar {
};
typedef Bar BarDef;
}
clang_getTypeSpelling on "Bar" (kind "Record") gives: "foo::Bar"
clang_getTypeSpelling on "BarDef" (kind "Typedef") gives: "BarDef" (<==
missing "foo::")
Thanks

Printing typedefs or type aliases using clang_getTypeSpelling() is missing the
namespace they are defined in. This is in contrast to other types that always
yield the full typename including namespaces.
