[cdt-dev] Getting the base location of a method

[Francois Rigault <francois.rigault@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello. 

I'm trying to use the amazing Codan to implement simple naming convention 
on C++ code. I need the rule to apply on the _base_ method only. Overriden 
method have no choice but to have the same name as the base method, and 
the base method name may not be modifiable by the developer - that would 
lead to many false positive.

So I have an IASTName for a non-private non-static method from a class 
that publicly extends another class. I get multiple entries from the index 
for its binding. In this case there is a possibility that this method 
overrides one from a superclass.

What is the best way to know if this method in an override ?

Besides, if this knowledge could be extracted from the index, overriden 
method could appear with a small arrow in the editor margin, like we have 
on JDT - clicking on the arrow leads you to the superclass implementation.

Best regards

Francois
