I am trying to build call graphs using Clang AST.
Is there a way to somehow link the parameters of a function to the arguments of an inner function call?
For example, given the following function:
void chainedIncrement(int *ptr) {
simplePointerIncr(ptr);
for (int i=0;i<3;i++) {
simplePointerIncr(ptr);
}
}
I looking for a way to be able to link ptr
from chainedIncrement
function to the argument of simplePointerIncr
function. Doing this will allow building a call graph.
Maybe there is a way of getting the same id while calling getId()
on parameters and arguments.
I tried to use the following AST matcher:
functionDecl(hasDescendant(callExpr(callee(functionDecl().bind("calleeFunc")),unless(isExpansionInSystemHeader())).bind("callExpr");)).bind("outerFunc")
It seems that arguments are of type Expr
while function parameters are of type ParmVarDecl
.
Assuming that the parameter is passed as-is, without modification to an inner function, is there a way to link them somehow?
Thanks
UPDATE: Added my solution
There is a matcher called forEachArgumentWithParam()
. It allows to bind arguments to a callee function to its parameters.
Another matcher, equalsBoundNode()
allows to bind the parameters of the outer function, to the arguments of the callee function.
auto calleeArgVarDecl = declRefExpr(to(varDecl().bind("callerArg")));
auto innerCallExpr = callExpr(
forEachArgumentWithParam(calleeArgVarDecl, parmVarDecl().bind("calleeParam")),
callee(functionDecl().bind("calleeFunc")),unless(isExpansionInSystemHeader())).bind("callExpr");
auto fullMatcher = functionDecl(forEachDescendant(innerCallExpr),forEachDescendant(parmVarDecl(equalsBoundNode("callerArg")).bind("outerFuncParam"))).bind("outerFunc");
