Description Ivan Shapovalov 2012-04-30 19:37:08 UTC
If using a STL container from GCC 4.7.0 (with --std=c++0x), return type of their access methods like "std::vector<>::at()" is not resolved.
This prevents the DUChain for members' access from being built:

In this example:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Sample code:
----
#include <vector>
struct A {
    int fld;
};

std::vector<A> v;
v.at(0).fld = 0;
----
Actual Results:  
1) No auto-completion after typing "at(0)."
2) "fld = 0" is not being highlighted
3) Auto-renaming of "fld" doesn't work.

-> The DUChain for "fld = 0" is not being built.

Expected Results:  
1) Auto-completion of "fld" after typing "at(0)."
2) "fld" in "fld = 0" being highlighted as a variable
3) Auto-renaming "fld" correctly replaces both uses

-> The DUChain for "fld = 0" is expected to build correctly.

GCC version is 4.7.0, and c++0x support is enabled.
Comment 1 Ivan Shapovalov 2012-05-02 04:24:15 UTC
The problem seems to be located in <bits/alloc_traits.h>.

The correct partial specialization of std::__alloctr_rebind is selected using third (bool) template parameter, which is resolved with a helper class std::__alloctr_rebind_helper, which in turn uses overloaded constexpr functions to select the correct value.

The problem 1:
Cannot handle constexpr functions while resolving constant expressions (in std::__alloctr_rebind_helper)

The problem 2:
Cannot handle constant variables while resolving default template arguments (in std::__alloctr_rebind)

The problem 3:
Something happens when resolving templated "using" declaration (in std::allocator_traits<>::rebind_alloc)

I confirm this also, it is pretty annoying indeed.
Ivan, if you can spend some time to work on this it would be great... thanks a lot for your work on kdev anyway!

After some digging I started to think that it'd be better to accomplish this by completely changing our parser to clang...
(There is some work for it (https://github.com/Gnurou/kdevelop/tree/clang), and I'm going to join it shortly.)
Trying to improve _our_ parser will be greatly time-consuming as enabling such type resolution would require adding support for variadic templates and who knows what else.

What a great news :-) I'm also a kernel developer and that project looks really cool.
Thanks again!

note that there's kdev-clang nowadays which is pretty good already and will be further improved over the coming months! checkout http://kfunk.org/2014/04/28/gsoc-2014-improving-the-clang-integration-in-kdevelop/ e.g.
