Summary: This feature was only used in two places, but contributed a non-trivial amount to the complexity of RecursiveASTVisitor, and was buggy (see my recent patches where I was fixing the bugs that I noticed). I don't think the convenience benefit of this feature is worth the complexity. Besides complexity, another issue with the current state of RecursiveASTVisitor is the non-uniformity in how it handles different AST nodes. All AST nodes follow a regular pattern, but operators are special -- and this special behavior not documented. Correct usage of RecursiveASTVisitor relies on shadowing member functions with specific names and signatures. Near misses don't cause any compile-time errors, incorrectly named or typed methods are just silently ignored. Therefore, predictability of RecursiveASTVisitor API is quite important. This change reduces the size of the `clang` binary by 38 KB (0.2%) in release mode, and by 7 MB (0.3%) in debug mode. The `clang-tidy` binary is reduced by 205 KB (0.3%) in release mode, and by 5 MB (0.4%) in debug mode. I don't think these code size improvements are significant enough to justify this change on its own (for me, the primary motivation is reducing code complexity), but they I think are a nice side-effect.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // Clang Tools repository //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to the repository of extra Clang Tools. This repository holds tools that are developed as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project and the Clang frontend. These tools are kept in a separate "extra" repository to allow lighter weight checkouts of the core Clang codebase. This repository is only intended to be checked out inside of a full LLVM+Clang tree, and in the 'tools/extra' subdirectory of the Clang checkout. All discussion regarding Clang, Clang-based tools, and code in this repository should be held using the standard Clang mailing lists: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev Code review for this tree should take place on the standard Clang patch and commit lists: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits If you find a bug in these tools, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
