Subject: Introduce the virtual method Decl::getPrimaryDecl().
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fc7e2a8fbb08f0f496ac6cea0721fe72db8ce240;p=clang

Introduce the virtual method Decl::getPrimaryDecl().

When a Decl subclass can have multiple re-declarations in the same declaration context (like FunctionDecl),
getPrimaryDecl() will return a particular Decl that all of them will point to as the "primary" declaration.
