Re: [cdt-dev] purpose of "IASTNode point" arguments?

> I think passing the definition from the outside will not work because at the point of instantiation you no longer know about the definition in which the dependent name has been used.
It seems to me like the point of definition should be known by someone
at the time of instantiation. Instantiation of dependent expressions
typically happens in the context of instantiating some entity that
contains the dependent expression, like a function or variable. The
definition of that entity (binding) can be used as the point of
definition.
Then again, I have not enumerated all the places where dependent
expressions are instantiated. It could be that for some of them, the
point of definition is not known. (If you know of an example, it
would help).
> I have not thought about this enough, but I guess we could store these definitions in the evaluation objects.
How would we represent the definition in the evaluation? My
understanding is that evaluations have to be representable in the PDOM.
I gues that rules out AST nodes. Scopes are not currently serializable
either, though that can probably be implemented. Are there other options?
Thanks,
