29// This class heuristic resolution of declarations and types in template code.
30//
31// As a compiler, clang only needs to perform certain types of processing on
32// template code (such as resolving dependent names to declarations, or
33// resolving the type of a dependent expression) after instantiation. Indeed,
34// C++ language features such as template specialization mean such resolution
35// cannot be done accurately before instantiation
36//
37// However, template code is written and read in uninstantiated form, and clangd
38// would like to provide editor features like go-to-definition in template code
39// where possible. To this end, clangd attempts to resolve declarations and
40// types in uninstantiated code by using heuristics, understanding that the
41// results may not be fully accurate but that this is better than nothing.
42//
43// At this time, the heuristic used is a simple but effective one: assume that
44// template instantiations are based on the primary template definition and not
45// not a specialization. More advanced heuristics may be added in the future.
