  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.
