    <p>I've wrote a test program (parse_ast.c) to parse a c source file (tt.c) to see how libclang works, the output is the hierarchical structure of the AST:</p> <p>Here is the test file: </p> <pre><code>/* tt.c */ // line 1 #include &lt;unistd.h&gt; #include &lt;stdio.h&gt; typedef ssize_t (*write_fn_t)(int, const void *, size_t); void indirect_write(write_fn_t write_fn) { // line 7 (*write_fn)(1, "indirect call\n", 14); } void direct_write() { // line 11 write(1, "direct call\n", 12); // line 12 mising in the ast? } int main() { // line 15 direct_write(); indirect_write(write); // line 17 missing in the ast? return 0; } </code></pre> <p>The output shows something like this:</p> <pre><code> ... ... inclusion directive at tt.c (2, 1) to (2, 20) inclusion directive at tt.c (3, 1) to (3, 19) TypedefDecl at tt.c (5, 1) to (5, 57) TypeRef at tt.c (5, 9) to (5, 16) ParmDecl at tt.c (5, 31) to (5, 35) ParmDecl at tt.c (5, 36) to (5, 49) ParmDecl at tt.c (5, 50) to (5, 56) FunctionDecl at tt.c (7, 1) to (9, 2) ParmDecl at tt.c (7, 21) to (7, 40) TypeRef at tt.c (7, 21) to (7, 31) CompoundStmt at tt.c (7, 42) to (9, 2) CallExpr at tt.c (8, 5) to (8, 42) UnexposedExpr at tt.c (8, 5) to (8, 16) ParenExpr at tt.c (8, 5) to (8, 16) UnaryOperator at tt.c (8, 6) to (8, 15) UnexposedExpr at tt.c (8, 7) to (8, 15) DeclRefExpr at tt.c (8, 7) to (8, 15) IntegerLiteral at tt.c (8, 17) to (8, 18) UnexposedExpr at tt.c (8, 20) to (8, 37) UnexposedExpr at tt.c (8, 20) to (8, 37) StringLiteral at tt.c (8, 20) to (8, 37) IntegerLiteral at tt.c (8, 39) to (8, 41) FunctionDecl at tt.c (11, 1) to (13, 2) CompoundStmt at tt.c (11, 21) to (13, 2) &lt;- XXX no line 12? FunctionDecl at tt.c (15, 1) to (20, 2) CompoundStmt at tt.c (15, 12) to (20, 2) CallExpr at tt.c (16, 5) to (16, 19) UnexposedExpr at tt.c (16, 5) to (16, 17) DeclRefExpr at tt.c (16, 5) to (16, 17) &lt;- XXX no line 17? ReturnStmt at tt.c (19, 5) to (19, 13) IntegerLiteral at tt.c (19, 12) to (19, 13) </code></pre> <p>We can see that the three functions (direct_write at line 7/indirect_write at line 11/main at line 15) are there, most statements can be found in the AST, but i can not find anything that are representing the statements in line 12 and line 17. Does anyone know the reason?</p> <p>I'm on debian 2.6.32 squeeze, tested both on clang 3.1 and 3.2 (compiled from source).</p> <p>Here is the program parse_ast.c:</p> <pre class="lang-c prettyprint-override"><code>#include &lt;stddef.h&gt; #include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #include &lt;clang-c/Index.h&gt; enum CXChildVisitResult visit_fn(CXCursor cr, CXCursor parent, CXClientData client_data) { unsigned depth; unsigned line, column, offset; enum CXCursorKind kind; CXSourceRange extent; CXSourceLocation start, end; CXString kind_spelling, filename; CXFile file; depth = (unsigned)client_data; // print cursor kind kind = clang_getCursorKind(cr); kind_spelling = clang_getCursorKindSpelling(kind); fprintf(stdout, "%*s%s at", depth, " ", clang_getCString(kind_spelling)); clang_disposeString(kind_spelling); // get extent extent = clang_getCursorExtent(cr); start = clang_getRangeStart(extent); end = clang_getRangeEnd(extent); // print start position clang_getExpansionLocation(start, &amp;file, &amp;line, &amp;column, &amp;offset); filename = clang_getFileName(file); fprintf(stdout, " %s (%u, %u) to", clang_getCString(filename), line, column); clang_disposeString(filename); // print end position clang_getExpansionLocation(end, &amp;file, &amp;line, &amp;column, &amp;offset); fprintf(stdout, " (%u, %u)\n", line, column); // recursive clang_visitChildren(cr, visit_fn, (CXClientData)(depth + 1)); return CXChildVisit_Continue; } int main(int argc, const char * const *argv) { CXIndex Index = clang_createIndex(0, 0); CXTranslationUnit TU = clang_parseTranslationUnit(Index, NULL, argv, argc, 0, 0, CXTranslationUnit_DetailedPreprocessingRecord); clang_visitChildren(clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(TU), visit_fn, 0); clang_disposeTranslationUnit(TU); clang_disposeIndex(Index); return 0; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Update</strong>: </p> <p>the problem is due to missing a header file stddef.h, it's answered in libclang's mail list <a href="http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/libclang-missing-some-statements-in-the-AST-td4029641.html" rel="nofollow">http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/libclang-missing-some-statements-in-the-AST-td4029641.html</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
