This PR introduces a new Clang-based tool: FunctionScopeIdentifier.
The tool identifies C/C++ functions that span specific line ranges in a source file. It extends Clang’s tooling interface by supporting a custom command-line option:
-identify-scope-range=
Example usage:
./bin/FunctionScopeIdentifier -identify-scope-range=5-10,12-15 test.cpp -- -std=c++17
The tool reports all functions that overlap with the specified line ranges, including the function name and its start/end lines. This can assist with code analysis, refactoring, and tooling automation.
Key Features
Accepts multiple line ranges via -identify-scope-range (e.g. 5-10,12-18)
Uses Clang AST matchers to identify function declarations with bodies
Outputs function names and their source line spans that intersect the given ranges
Supports standard Clang compilation arguments (e.g. -I, -D)
