Update internals manual on how to add AST nodes.
StmtDumper.cpp is called ASTDumper.cpp these days, and usually works well for new AST nodes without changes. There's now DataRecursiveASTVisitor in addition to RecursiveASTVisitor, and serialization wasn't mentioned. llvm-svn: 212426

* Make sure that ``children()`` visits all of the subexpressions. This is
|
||||
important for a number of features (e.g., IDE support, C++ variadic
|
||||
templates). If you have sub-types, you'll also need to visit those
|
||||
sub-types in the ``RecursiveASTVisitor``.

* Add printing support (``StmtPrinter.cpp``) and dumping support
|

(``StmtDumper.cpp``) for your expression.

sub-types in ``RecursiveASTVisitor`` and ``DataRecursiveASTVisitor``.

* Add printing support (``StmtPrinter.cpp``) for your expression.
|

* Add profiling support (``StmtProfile.cpp``) for your AST node, noting the
|
||||
distinguishing (non-source location) characteristics of an instance of
|
||||
your expression. Omitting this step will lead to hard-to-diagnose
|
||||
failures regarding matching of template declarations.
|

* Add serialization support (``ASTReaderStmt.cpp``, ``ASTWriterStmt.cpp``)
|

for your AST node.
