I agree that we don't need `SubstTemplateTypeParmType` nodes if all resuraging that we ever do is related to types that the Clang frontend itself knows. However that is not universally true. For example, we (Google) have a tool for inferring and checking nullability contracts (https://github.com/google/crubit/tree/main/nullability). It relies on `SubstTemplateTypeParmType` nodes to propagate nullability annotations through template signatures. We can't rely on the Clang frontend doing this propagation because this logic is in an external tool. So for all practical purposes, the removal of `SubstTemplateTypeParmType` is losing relevant information, and it means that no other tool can do the things that Clang frontend can. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/101858 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
