The description of what the various Expr::Ignore* do has drifted from the
actual implementation.
Inspection reveals that IgnoreParenImpCasts() is not equivalent to doing
IgnoreParens() + IgnoreImpCasts() until reaching a fixed point, but
IgnoreParenCasts() is equivalent to doing IgnoreParens() + IgnoreCasts()
until reaching a fixed point. There is also a fair amount of duplication
in the various Expr::Ignore* functions which increase the chance of further
future inconsistencies. In preparation for the next patch which will factor
out the implementation of the various Expr::Ignore*, do the following cleanups:
Remove Stmt::IgnoreImplicit, in favor of Expr::IgnoreImplicit. IgnoreImplicit
is the only function among all of the Expr::Ignore* which is available in Stmt.
There are only a few users of Stmt::IgnoreImplicit. They can just use instead
Expr::IgnoreImplicit like they have to do for the other Ignore*.
Move Expr::IgnoreImpCasts() from Expr.h to Expr.cpp. This made no difference
in the run-time with my usual benchmark (-fsyntax-only on all of Boost).
While we are at it, make IgnoreParenNoopCasts take a const reference to the
ASTContext for const correctness.
Update the comments to match what the Expr::Ignore* are actually doing.
I am not sure that listing exactly what each Expr::Ignore* do is optimal,
but it certainly looks better than the current state which is in my opinion
between misleading and just plain wrong.
The whole patch is NFC (if you count removing Stmt::IgnoreImplicit as NFC).
