We also serve developers who write tools using AST matchers and other Clang analysis facilities. Having the resolved callee represented in the AST for what looks like a static call from the base-language perspective makes a lot of sense from a tooling perspective. When performing static analysis on the code, forcing a tool to understand how OpenMP variant selectors work in order to perform inter-procedural static analysis is suboptimal in nearly all cases. It is also true that we might want the base callee represented in some way, but as that callee is never actually called, and one of the variants is always called at that call site, it is important that IPA propagate information into and out of the correct callee in order to produce the correct results. If we currently represent the base callee as the callee that will appear in the call graph, that's a bug: Clang's static analyzer will produce incorrect results. If you know of specific tools that indeed depend on the current behavior to produce correct results, please provide us with details on what they're doing so that we understand the use cases. Regardless, we should prioritize correct-by-default functioning of AST-based call graphs and their associated static analysis.
