Fixed a spurious warning about cast of unrelated types, as seen in this example program (Commenting out the namespace declaration on line 9 causes the warning not to appear):
Produces the warning:
I believe the issue occurs because the
client::String
type spelled in the declaration ofoperator client::String*
on line 6 is not the exact same type as the one in thestatic_cast
on line 14. However, they do have the same canonical type.I looked at a few different functions in
ASTContext
to compare the types in a better way. The one that seems to make the most sense ishasSameType
, which internally callsgetCanonicalType
on both arguments and just does an==
comparison on the resulting pointers.
