The ASTScope class hierarchy rooted at ASTScopeImpl is relying entirely
on overridden virtual functions and, in some cases, string comparisons
on the class name, to provide customization for the various classes.
Introduce proper LLVM dynamic casting support to this class hierarchy,
eliminating the string comparisons and the manually-specified
implementations of
getClassName
(which is now used only for printing).Replace a number of virtual query functions like
getDeclIfAny
, which hadto be overridden at various points in the hierarchy, with simpler
implementations based on the scope kind and
dyn_cast
.Macro-metaprogram whether each scope node is associated with a
particular declaration/statement/expression/attribute so these
implementations can be efficiently macro-metaprogrammed.
We've been meaning to do this for years, but today I got angry enough.
