22 /// @class SymbolContextScope SymbolContextScope.h "lldb/Symbol/SymbolContextScope.h"
23 /// @brief Inherit from this if your object is part of a symbol context
24 ///        and can reconstruct its symbol context.
25 ///
26 /// Many objects that are part of a symbol context that have pointers
27 /// back to parent objects that own them. Any members of a symbol
28 /// context that, once they are built, will not go away, can inherit
29 /// from this pure virtual class and can then reconstruct their symbol
30 /// context without having to keep a complete SymbolContext object in
31 /// the object.
32 ///
33 /// Examples of these objects include:
34 ///     @li Module
35 ///     @li CompileUnit
36 ///     @li Function
37 ///     @li Block
38 ///     @li Symbol
39 ///
40 /// Other objects can store a "SymbolContextScope *" using any pointers
41 /// to one of the above objects. This allows clients to hold onto a
42 /// pointer that uniquely will identify a symbol context. Those clients
43 /// can then always reconstruct the symbol context using the pointer, or
44 /// use it to uniquely identify a symbol context for an object.
45 ///
46 /// Example objects include that currently use "SymbolContextScope *"
47 /// objects include:
48 ///     @li Variable objects that can reconstruct where they are scoped
49 ///         by making sure the SymbolContextScope * comes from the scope
50 ///         in which the variable was declared. If a variable is a global,
51 ///         the appropriate CompileUnit * will be used when creating the
52 ///         variable. A static function variables, can the Block scope
53 ///         in which the variable is defined. Function arguments can use
54 ///         the Function object as their scope. The SymbolFile parsers
55 ///         will set these correctly as the variables are parsed.
56 ///     @li Type objects that know exactly in which scope they
57 ///         originated much like the variables above.
58 ///     @li StackID objects that are able to know that if the CFA
59 ///         (stack pointer at the beginning of a function) and the
60 ///         start PC for the function/symbol and the SymbolContextScope
61 ///         pointer (a unique pointer that identifies a symbol context
62 ///         location) match within the same thread, that the stack
63 ///         frame is the same as the previous stack frame.
64 ///
65 /// Objects that adhere to this protocol can reconstruct enough of a
66 /// symbol context to allow functions that take a symbol context to be
67 /// called. Lists can also be created using a SymbolContextScope* and
68 /// and object pairs that allow large collections of objects to be
69 /// passed around with minimal overhead.
