Hmm, I don't think so, I actually would like to keep the typedefs in my
generated code (for readability, and because it might actually resolve
to something different when the generated code is used or to something
clang specific which then fails with other compilers). Also the
underlying type could again contain typedefs with missing namespace, so
I would have to go all the way down to the canonical type (which is what
I'm actually doing currently as a workaround)...

Hi Michael,
I haven't used libclang much (my use case requires LibTooling) but I
think you want to get the underlying type from the typedef and then use
getTypeSpelling on that result. Basically you want to check if
CXType.kind is CXType_Typedef and if so, get the underlying type (which
in this case should be "Bar") and then call clang_getTypeSpelling on
that result.
I don't know anything about CXCursors or CXTypes so I'll leave it to you
to figure out how to get the underlying type, but hopefully this helps.

Hi
Hope I picked the right place for this kind of problem, if not
please let me know.
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 template parameters or whatever) and then
their originating namespaces. This sounds a bit cumbersome and
not really straight forward.
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::")
Any idea how to solve this problem? Am I missing something?
Thanks
Michael
