# AST Matcher Reference

This document shows all currently implemented matchers. The matchers are grouped by category and node type they match. You can click on matcher names to show the matcher's source documentation.

There are three different basic categories of matchers:

- Node Matchers: Matchers that match a specific type of AST node.
- Narrowing Matchers: Matchers that match attributes on AST nodes.
- Traversal Matchers: Matchers that allow traversal between AST nodes.

Within each category the matchers are ordered by node type they match on. Note that if a matcher can match multiple node types, it will it will appear multiple times. This means that by searching for Matcher<Stmt> you can find all matchers that can be used to match on Stmt nodes.

The exception to that rule are matchers that can match on any node. Those are marked with a * and are listed in the beginning of each category.

Note that the categorization of matchers is a great help when you combine them into matcher expressions. You will usually want to form matcher expressions that read like english sentences by alternating between node matchers and narrowing or traversal matchers, like this:

    recordDecl(hasDescendant(
        ifStmt(hasTrueExpression(
            expr(hasDescendant(
                ifStmt()))))))

## Node Matchers

Node matchers are at the core of matcher expressions - they specify the type of node that is expected. Every match expression starts with a node matcher, which can then be further refined with a narrowing or traversal matcher. All traversal matchers take node matchers as their arguments.

For convenience, all node matchers take an arbitrary number of arguments and implicitly act as allOf matchers.

Node matchers are the only matchers that support the bind("id") call to bind the matched node to the given string, to be later retrieved from the match callback.

It is important to remember that the arguments to node matchers are predicates on the same node, just with additional information about the type. This is often useful to make matcher expression more readable by inlining bind calls into redundant node matchers inside another node matcher:

    // This binds the CXXRecordDecl to "id", as the decl() matcher will stay on
    // the same node.
    recordDecl(decl().bind("id"), hasName("::MyClass"))

## Narrowing Matchers

Narrowing matchers match certain attributes on the current node, thus narrowing down the set of nodes of the current type to match on.

There are special logical narrowing matchers (allOf, anyOf, anything and unless) which allow users to create more powerful match expressions.

Return type | Name | Parameters
--- | --- | ---
Matcher<*> | allOf | Matcher<*>, ..., Matcher<*>
    Matches if all given matchers match.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | anyOf | Matcher<*>, ..., Matcher<*>
    Matches if any of the given matchers matches.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | anything |
    Matches any node.

    Useful when another matcher requires a child matcher, but there's no
    additional constraint. This will often be used with an explicit conversion
    to an internal::Matcher<> type such as TypeMatcher.

    Example: DeclarationMatcher(anything()) matches all declarations, e.g.,
    "int* p" and "void f()" in
      int* p;
      void f();

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | unless | Matcher<*>
    Matches if the provided matcher does not match.

    Example matches Y (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(unless(hasName("X"))))
      class X {};
      class Y {};

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<BinaryOperator> | hasOperatorName | std::string Name
    Matches the operator Name of operator expressions (binary or
    unary).

    Example matches a || b (matcher = binaryOperator(hasOperatorName("||")))
      !(a || b)
Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr> | equals | ValueT Value
    Matches literals that are equal to the given value of type ValueT.

    Given
      f('false, 3.14, 42);
    characterLiteral(equals(0))
      matches 'cxxBoolLiteral(equals(false)) and cxxBoolLiteral(equals(0))
      match false
    floatLiteral(equals(3.14)) and floatLiteral(equals(314e-2))
      match 3.14
    integerLiteral(equals(42))
      matches 42

    Note that you cannot directly match a negative numeric literal because the
    minus sign is not part of the literal: It is a unary operator whose operand
    is the positive numeric literal. Instead, you must use a unaryOperator()
    matcher to match the minus sign:

    unaryOperator(hasOperatorName("-"),
                  hasUnaryOperand(integerLiteral(equals(13))))

    Usable as: Matcher<CharacterLiteral>, Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr>,
               Matcher<FloatingLiteral>, Matcher<IntegerLiteral>
Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr> | equals | bool Value
Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr> | equals | double Value
Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr> | equals | unsigned Value
Matcher<CXXCatchStmt> | isCatchAll |
    Matches a C++ catch statement that has a catch-all handler.

    Given
      try {
        ...
      } catch (int) {
        ...
      } catch (...) {
        ...
      }
    endcode
    cxxCatchStmt(isCatchAll()) matches catch(...) but not catch(int).
Matcher<CXXConstructExpr> | argumentCountIs | unsigned N
    Checks that a call expression or a constructor call expression has
    a specific number of arguments (including absent default arguments).

    Example matches f(0, 0) (matcher = callExpr(argumentCountIs(2)))
      void f(int x, int y);
      f(0, 0);
Matcher<CXXConstructExpr> | isListInitialization |
    Matches a constructor call expression which uses list initialization.
Matcher<CXXConstructExpr> | requiresZeroInitialization |
    Matches a constructor call expression which requires
    zero initialization.

    Given
    void foo() {
      struct point { double x; double y; };
      point pt[2] = { { 1.0, 2.0 } };
    }

      match 3.14
    integerLiteral(equals(42))
      matches 42

    Note that you cannot directly match a negative numeric literal because the
    minus sign is not part of the literal: It is a unary operator whose operand
    is the positive numeric literal. Instead, you must use a unaryOperator()
    matcher to match the minus sign:

    unaryOperator(hasOperatorName("-"),
                  hasUnaryOperand(integerLiteral(equals(13))))

    Usable as: Matcher<CharacterLiteral>, Matcher<CXXBoolLiteralExpr>,

        has(fieldDecl(hasName("b"), hasType(type(equalsBoundNode("t"))))))
      matches the class X, as a and b have the same type.

    Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
    equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
    For example:
    compoundStmt(
        forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),
        forEachDescendant(declRefExpr(to(decl(equalsBoundNode("d"))))))
    will trigger a match for each combination of variable declaration
    and reference to that variable declaration within a compound statement.

    Y.h:
      class Y {};

    Usable as: Matcher<Decl>, Matcher<Stmt>, Matcher<TypeLoc>

Matcher<VarDecl> | isDefinition |
    Matches if a declaration has a body attached.

    Example matches A, va, fa
      class A {};
      class B;  Doesn't match, as it has no body.
      int va;
      extern int vb;  Doesn't match, as it doesn't define the variable.
      void fa() {}
      void fb();  Doesn't match, as it has no body.

      template <> class X<A> {}; X<A> x;
    cxxRecordDecl(hasName("::X"), isTemplateInstantiation())
      does not match, as X<A> is an explicit template specialization.

    Usable as: Matcher<FunctionDecl>, Matcher<VarDecl>, Matcher<CXXRecordDecl>
Matcher<internal::Matcher<Decl>> | isInstantiated |
    Matches declarations that are template instantiations or are inside

        anyOf(hasName(a), hasName(b), hasName(c))
Matcher<internal::Matcher<Stmt>> | isInTemplateInstantiation |
    Matches statements inside of a template instantiation.

    Given
      int j;
      template<typename T> void A(T t) { T i; j += 42;}
      A(0);
      A(0U);
    declStmt(isInTemplateInstantiation())
      matches 'int i;' and 'unsigned i'.
    unless(stmt(isInTemplateInstantiation()))
      will NOT match j += 42; as it's shared between the template definition and
      instantiation.

## AST Traversal Matchers

Traversal matchers specify the relationship to other nodes that are reachable from the current node.

Note that there are special traversal matchers (has, hasDescendant, forEach and forEachDescendant) which work on all nodes and allow users to write more generic match expressions.

Return type | Name | Parameters
--- | --- | ---
Matcher<*> | eachOf | Matcher<*>, ..., Matcher<*>
    Matches if any of the given matchers matches.

    Unlike anyOf, eachOf will generate a match result for each
    matching submatcher.

    For example, in:
      class A { int a; int b; };
    The matcher:
      cxxRecordDecl(eachOf(has(fieldDecl(hasName("a")).bind("v")),
                           has(fieldDecl(hasName("b")).bind("v"))))
    will generate two results binding "v", the first of which binds
    the field declaration of a, the second the field declaration of
    b.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | forEachDescendant | Matcher<*>
    Matches AST nodes that have descendant AST nodes that match the
    provided matcher.

    Example matches X, A, B, C
      (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
      class X {};  Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
      class A { class X {}; };
      class B { class C { class X {}; }; };

    DescendantT must be an AST base type.

    As opposed to 'hasDescendant', 'forEachDescendant' will cause a match for
    each result that matches instead of only on the first one.

    Note: Recursively combined ForEachDescendant can cause many matches:
      cxxRecordDecl(forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(
        forEachDescendant(cxxRecordDecl())
      )))
    will match 10 times (plus injected class name matches) on:
      class A { class B { class C { class D { class E {}; }; }; }; };

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | forEach | Matcher<*>
    Matches AST nodes that have child AST nodes that match the
    provided matcher.

    Example matches X, Y
      (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(forEach(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))
      class X {};  Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
      class Y { class X {}; };
      class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };  Does not match Z.

    ChildT must be an AST base type.

    As opposed to 'has', 'forEach' will cause a match for each result that
    matches instead of only on the first one.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | hasAncestor | Matcher<*>
    Matches AST nodes that have an ancestor that matches the provided
    matcher.

    Given
    void f() { if (true) { int x = 42; } }
    void g() { for (;;) { int x = 43; } }

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | hasDescendant | Matcher<*>

    provided matcher.

    Example matches X, Y, Z
        (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(hasDescendant(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
      class X {};  Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
      class Y { class X {}; };
      class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };

    DescendantT must be an AST base type.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
Matcher<*> | has | Matcher<*>
    Matches AST nodes that have child AST nodes that match the
    provided matcher.

    Example matches X, Y
      (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(has(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))
      class X {};  Matches X, because X::X is a class of name X inside X.
      class Y { class X {}; };
      class Z { class Y { class X {}; }; };  Does not match Z.

    ChildT must be an AST base type.

    Usable as: Any Matcher
    Note that has is direct matcher, so it also matches things like implicit
    casts and paren casts. If you are matching with expr then you should
    probably consider using ignoringParenImpCasts like:
    has(ignoringParenImpCasts(expr())).
Matcher<*> | hasParent | Matcher<*>
    Matches AST nodes that have a parent that matches the provided
    matcher.

    Given
    void f() { for (;;) { int x = 42; if (true) { int x = 43; } } }
    compoundStmt(hasParent(ifStmt())) matches "{ int x = 43; }".

      class Z : public Y {};  indirectly derived
      typedef X A;
      typedef A B;
      class C : public B {};  derived from a typedef of X

    In the following example, Bar matches isDerivedFrom(hasName("X")):
      class Foo;
      typedef Foo X;
      class Bar : public Foo {};  derived from a type that X is a typedef of

    with callee(...)
      matching this->x, x, y.x, f respectively

    Note: Callee cannot take the more general internal::Matcher<Expr>

    Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
    declaration's type.

    In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),

Matcher<Type> | hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType | Matcher<Type> InnerMatcher
    Matches if the matched type matches the unqualified desugared
    type of the matched node.

    For example, in:
      class A {};
      using B = A;
    The matcher type(hasUniqualifeidDesugaredType(recordType())) matches
    both B and A.
Matcher<UnaryExprOrTypeTraitExpr> | hasArgumentOfType | Matcher<QualType> InnerMatcher
    Matches unary expressions that have a specific type of argument.

    Given
      int a, c; float b; int s = sizeof(a) + sizeof(b) + alignof(c);
    unaryExprOrTypeTraitExpr(hasArgumentOfType(asString("int"))
      matches sizeof(a) and alignof(c)
Matcher<UnaryOperator> | hasUnaryOperand | Matcher<Expr> InnerMatcher
    Matches if the operand of a unary operator matches.

    Example matches true (matcher = hasUnaryOperand(
                                      cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
      !true
Matcher<UnresolvedUsingType> | hasDeclaration | Matcher<Decl> InnerMatcher
    Matches a node if the declaration associated with that node
    matches the given matcher.

    The associated declaration is:
    - for type nodes, the declaration of the underlying type
    - for CallExpr, the declaration of the callee
    - for MemberExpr, the declaration of the referenced member
    - for CXXConstructExpr, the declaration of the constructor
    - for CXXNewExpr, the declaration of the operator new

    Also usable as Matcher<T> for any T supporting the getDecl() member
    function. e.g. various subtypes of clang::Type and various expressions.

    Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,
      Matcher<CXXConstructExpr>, Matcher<CXXNewExpr>, Matcher<DeclRefExpr>,
      Matcher<EnumType>, Matcher<InjectedClassNameType>, Matcher<LabelStmt>,
      Matcher<MemberExpr>, Matcher<QualType>, Matcher<RecordType>,
      Matcher<TagType>, Matcher<TemplateSpecializationType>,
      Matcher<TemplateTypeParmType>, Matcher<TypedefType>,
      Matcher<UnresolvedUsingType>
Matcher<UsingDecl> | hasAnyUsingShadowDecl | Matcher<UsingShadowDecl> InnerMatcher
    Matches any using shadow declaration.

    Given
      namespace X { void b(); }
      using X::b;
    usingDecl(hasAnyUsingShadowDecl(hasName("b"))))
      matches using X::b
Matcher<UsingShadowDecl> | hasTargetDecl | Matcher<NamedDecl> InnerMatcher
    Matches a using shadow declaration where the target declaration is
    matched by the given matcher.

    Given
      namespace X { int a; void b(); }
      using X::a;
      using X::b;
    usingDecl(hasAnyUsingShadowDecl(hasTargetDecl(functionDecl())))
      matches using X::b but not using X::a
Matcher<ValueDecl> | hasType | Matcher<Decl> InnerMatcher
    Overloaded to match the declaration of the expression's or value
    declaration's type.

    In case of a value declaration (for example a variable declaration),
    this resolves one layer of indirection. For example, in the value
    declaration "X x;", cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")) matches the declaration of
    X, while varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))) matches the
    declaration of x.

    Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
                and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
     class X {};
     void y(X &x) { x; X z; }

    Usable as: Matcher<Expr>, Matcher<ValueDecl>
Matcher<ValueDecl> | hasType | Matcher<QualType> InnerMatcher
    Matches if the expression's or declaration's type matches a type
    matcher.

    Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
                and z (matcher = varDecl(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))
                and U (matcher = typedefDecl(hasType(asString("int")))
     class X {};
     void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
     typedef int U;
Matcher<VarDecl> | hasInitializer | Matcher<Expr> InnerMatcher
    Matches a variable declaration that has an initializer expression
    that matches the given matcher.

    Example matches x (matcher = varDecl(hasInitializer(callExpr())))
      bool y() { return true; }
      bool x = y();
Matcher<VariableArrayType> | hasSizeExpr | Matcher<Expr> InnerMatcher
    Matches VariableArrayType nodes that have a specific size
    expression.

    Given
      void f(int b) {
        int a[b];
      }
    variableArrayType(hasSizeExpr(ignoringImpCasts(declRefExpr(to(
      varDecl(hasName("b")))))))
      matches "int a[b]"
Matcher<WhileStmt> | hasBody | Matcher<Stmt> InnerMatcher
    Matches a 'for', 'while', 'do while' statement or a function
    definition that has a given body.

    Given
      for (;;) {}
    hasBody(compoundStmt())
      matches 'for (;;) {}'
    with compoundStmt()
      matching '{}'
Matcher<WhileStmt> | hasCondition | Matcher<Expr> InnerMatcher
    Matches the condition expression of an if statement, for loop,
    switch statement or conditional operator.
