/** \defgroup CINDEX C Interface to Clang
*
* The C Interface to Clang provides a relatively small API that exposes
* facilities for parsing source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST),
* loading already-parsed ASTs, traversing the AST, associating
* physical source locations with elements within the AST, and other
* facilities that support Clang-based development tools.
*
* This C interface to Clang will never provide all of the information
* representation stored in Clang's C++ AST, nor should it: the intent is to
* maintain an API that is relatively stable from one release to the next,
* providing only the basic functionality needed to support development tools.
*
* To avoid namespace pollution, data types are prefixed with "CX" and
* functions are prefixed with "clang_".

* This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and

* for code completion is that Clang will parse a complete source file,
* performing syntax checking up to the location where code-completion has
* been requested. At that point, a special code-completion token is passed
* to the parser, which recognizes this token and determines, based on the
* current location in the C/Objective-C/C++ grammar and the state of
* semantic analysis, what completions to provide. These completions are
* returned via a new \c CXCodeCompleteResults structure.
*
* Code completion itself is meant to be triggered by the client when the
* user types punctuation characters or whitespace, at which point the
* code-completion location will coincide with the cursor. For example, if \c p
* is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then
* after the ">" in \c p->. When the code-completion location is afer the ">",
* the completion results will provide, e.g., the members of the struct that
* "p" points to. The client is responsible for placing the cursor at the
* beginning of the token currently being typed, then filtering the results
* based on the contents of the token. For example, when code-completing for
* the expression \c p->get, the client should provide the location just after
* the ">" (e.g., pointing at the "g") to this code-completion hook. Then, the
* client can filter the results based on the current token text ("get"), only
* showing those results that start with "get". The intent of this interface
* is to separate the relatively high-latency acquisition of code-completion
* results from the filtering of results on a per-character basis, which must
