ASTConsumer
ASTConsumer is a crucial component within the Clang compiler infrastructure. Its primary role is to process the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) generated by the Clang parser. After the source code is successfully parsed into an AST, an ASTConsumer is invoked to traverse and analyze this tree. This allows for a variety of operations, such as static analysis, code generation, refactoring, and other source-to-source transformations.
Each ASTConsumer is responsible for defining how it will interact with the AST. This typically involves implementing
Developers can create custom ASTConsumers to implement their own custom checks or transformations on C, C++,
