Hi, I've a question about whether libclang1-X should depend on libclang-common-X-dev to always have the clang's builtin headers available when libclang is installed. A bit of context: QtCreator uses libclang for its code model. If clang's builtin headers are not available in the system, libclang will fail to find its builtin headers (like stddef.h) and might fail to parse code and flag "#include <stddef.h>" as an error because the header cannot be found (stddef.h is one of the builtin headers). This was reported to QtCreator's upstream in [2]. As seen in [0] and [1], libclang expect to have its builtin headers available to work correctly. While analyzing this bug, I found that kdevelop has the exact same issue as QtCreator. That is, if they are installed without the libclang's builtin headers, they both fail to parse "#include <stddef.h>" as libclang can't find it. Codelite is probably in the same case as it uses libclang too but I've not tested it. So, I'm thinking that libclang1-X should have a dependency on libclang-common-X-dev as it seems all users of libclang will likely need the builtin headers too. (For example, libclang1-8 should depend on libclang-common-8-dev). @LLVM Packaging Tream, what do you think about adding this dependency ?
