[cdt-dev] Unable to replace of AmbiguityParent(CPPASTSimpleDeclaration)

[Krishna Narasimhan <krishna.nm86@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

     I have a refactoring tool that performs "replace" of nodes based on the type of nodes. 

For eg, a LiteralExpression is to be replaced with an IDExpression that I construct. And I just simply call the ((IASTAmbiguityParent)LiteralExpression.getParent()).replace(id) where id is the IDExpression that I have constructed.

Now when I try the same for replacing a SimpleDeclSpecifier (int) with a CPPASTNamedTypeSpecifier where the parent is a CPPASTSImpleDeclaration, somehow the replace doesnt work. I debugged it, there is no error, no exception. Just that the replace simply doesnt work.
