RE: [cdt-dev] Retrieve file location of new nodes in AST

["Schorn, Markus" <Markus.Schorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CDT does not provide a model for the ast after modification, if necessary you have to create it (the AST for the

modified source) from scratch. The textual change itself is represented by the Change object, it contains the information

about where code is inserted/deleted. However, the change object does not have any links to the AST nodes.

You cannot have file locations for ASTNodes that are not created by the parser. If you need information

about ast-nodes that you have created yourself you need to store it elsewhere.

But is there any efficient way to _retrieve_ the information where the nodes were inserted during performing the change? Or do I have to rebuild the whole AST, find that node and then retrieve its position?
