Note that when multiple matches are involved via forEach* matchers,
equalsBoundNodes acts as a filter.
For example:
compoundStmt(
    forEachDescendant(varDecl().bind("d")),

                            X inside A.
  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 {}; }; }; }; };

provided matcher.

Example matches X, Y, Y::X, Z::Y, Z::Y::X
  (matcher = cxxRecordDecl(forEach(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))

  class Y { class X {}; };  Matches Y, because Y::X is a class of name X
                            inside Y.
  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.

  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

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())).

Matches AST nodes that have a parent that matches the provided
matcher.

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

switch statement or conditional operator.

Example matches true (matcher = hasCondition(cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
  if (true) {}

Matches the false branch expression of a conditional operator
(binary or ternary).

Example matches b
  condition ? a : b
  condition ?: b

Matches the true branch expression of a conditional operator.

Example 1 (conditional ternary operator): matches a
  condition ? a : b

Example 2 (conditional binary operator): matches opaqueValueExpr(condition)
  condition ?: b

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

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

FIXME: Overload to allow directly matching types?

Overloaded to match the type's declaration.

Matches if the expression's type either matches the specified
matcher, or is a pointer to a type that matches the InnerMatcher.

Matches each method overridden by the given method. This matcher may
produce multiple matches.

Given
  class A { virtual void f(); };
  class B : public A { void f(); };
  class C : public B { void f(); };
cxxMethodDecl(ofClass(hasName("C")),
              forEachOverridden(cxxMethodDecl().bind("b"))).bind("d")
  matches once, with "b" binding "A::f" and "d" binding "C::f" (Note
  that B::f is not overridden by C::f).

The check can produce multiple matches in case of multiple inheritance, e.g.
  class A1 { virtual void f(); };
  class A2 { virtual void f(); };
  class C : public A1, public A2 { void f(); };
cxxMethodDecl(ofClass(hasName("C")),
              forEachOverridden(cxxMethodDecl().bind("b"))).bind("d")

  class A {
   public:
    A();
  };
  A a = A();

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

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:

In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

cxxRecordDecl(hasMethod(hasName("func"))) matches the declaration of
A but not B.

Matches C++ classes that are directly or indirectly derived from
a class matching Base.

Note that a class is not considered to be derived from itself.

Example matches Y, Z, C (Base == hasName("X"))
  class X;
  class Y : public X {};  directly derived
  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

Similar to isDerivedFrom(), but also matches classes that directly
match Base.

Matches if the call expression's callee's declaration matches the
given matcher.

Example matches y.x() (matcher = callExpr(callee(
                                   cxxMethodDecl(hasName("x")))))
  class Y { public: void x(); };

Matches if the call expression's callee expression matches.

Given
  class Y { void x() { this->x(); x(); Y y; y.x(); } };
  void f() { f(); }
callExpr(callee(expr()))
  matches this->x(), x(), y.x(), f()
with callee(...)
  matching this->x, x, y.x, f respectively

Note: Callee cannot take the more general internal::Matcher<Expr>
because this introduces ambiguous overloads with calls to Callee taking a
internal::Matcher<Decl>, as the matcher hierarchy is purely
implemented in terms of implicit casts.

Matches all arguments and their respective ParmVarDecl.

Given

expression, or an ObjC-message-send expression.

Given

  matches x(1, y, 42)
with hasAnyArgument(...)
  matching y

For ObjectiveC, given
  @interface I - (void) f:(int) y; @end
  void foo(I *i) { [i f:12]; }
objcMessageExpr(hasAnyArgument(integerLiteral(equals(12))))
  matches [i f:12]

Matches the n'th argument of a call expression or a constructor

      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

  Matcher<TemplateTypeParmType>, Matcher<TypedefType>,
  Matcher<UnresolvedUsingType>

Matches casts whose destination type matches a given matcher.

(Note: Clang's AST refers to other conversions as "casts" too, and calls
actual casts "explicit" casts.)

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

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.

 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }

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

For type nodes, hasDeclaration will generally match the declaration of the
sugared type. Given
  class X {};
  typedef X Y;
  Y y;
in varDecl(hasType(hasDeclaration(decl()))) the decl will match the
typedefDecl. A common use case is to match the underlying, desugared type.
This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,
  Matcher<CXXConstructExpr>, Matcher<CXXNewExpr>, Matcher<DeclRefExpr>,
  Matcher<EnumType>, Matcher<InjectedClassNameType>, Matcher<LabelStmt>,

  template<typename T> void f() {}
  void func() { f<int>(); };
classTemplateSpecializationDecl(hasTemplateArgument(
    1, refersToType(asString("int"))))
  matches the specialization A<bool, int>

functionDecl(hasTemplateArgument(0, refersToType(asString("int"))))
  matches the specialization f<int>

This can be achieved by using the hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType matcher:
  varDecl(hasType(hasUnqualifiedDesugaredType(
      recordType(hasDeclaration(decl())))))
In this matcher, the decl will match the CXXRecordDecl of class X.

Usable as: Matcher<AddrLabelExpr>, Matcher<CallExpr>,

Matches if the node or any descendant matches.

Generates results for each match.

For example, in:
  class A { class B {}; class C {}; };
The matcher:
  cxxRecordDecl(hasName("::A"),
                findAll(cxxRecordDecl(isDefinition()).bind("m")))
will generate results for A, B and C.

Usable as: Any Matcher

  Matcher<UnresolvedUsingType>

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(hasUnqualifeidDesugaredType(recordType())) matches
both B and A.

Matches unary expressions that have a specific type of argument.

Given

Given
  namespace X { void b(); }
  using X::b;
usingDecl(hasAnyUsingShadowDecl(hasName("b"))))
  matches using X::b 

Matches a using shadow declaration where the target declaration is
matched by the given matcher.

usingDecl(hasAnyUsingShadowDecl(hasTargetDecl(functionDecl())))
  matches using X::b but not using X::a 

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")))))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))
 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 class Y { friend class X; };

Usable as: Matcher<Expr>, Matcher<ValueDecl>

Matches if the expression's or declaration's type matches a type
matcher.

Example matches x (matcher = expr(hasType(cxxRecordDecl(hasName("X")))))

            and U (matcher = typedefDecl(hasType(asString("int")))
            and friend class X (matcher = friendDecl(hasType("X"))
 class X {};
 void y(X &x) { x; X z; }
 typedef int U;
 class Y { friend class X; };

Matches a variable declaration that has an initializer expression
that matches the given matcher.

hasBody(compoundStmt())
  matches 'for (;;) {}'
with compoundStmt()

switch statement or conditional operator.

Example matches true (matcher = hasCondition(cxxBoolLiteral(equals(true))))
  if (true) {}
