Formatting a Diagnostic Argument

Example:"candidate found by name lookup is %q0" Class:NamedDecl* Description

This formatter indicates that the fully-qualified name of the declaration should be printed, e.g., "std::vector" rather than "vector".

+ +"diff" format +Example:"no known conversion %diff{from | to | }1,2" +Class:QualType +Description

This formatter takes two QualTypes and attempts to print a template difference between the two. If tree printing is off, the entire text inside the the braces, with the formatted text replacing the pipes. If tree printing is on, the text is not printed and a type tree is printed after the diagnostic message.

    The default for template type printing is to elide as many template +arguments as possible, removing those which are the same in both template types, +leaving only the differences.

    Template Type Diffing

    Templates types can be long and difficult to read. Moreso when part of an +error message. Instead of just printing out the type name, Clang has enough +information to remove the common elements and highlight the differences. To +show the template structure more clearly, the templated type can also be +printed as an indented text tree.
