C++ Overload Inspector - A Tool for Analyzing and Profiling Overloaded Function Calls
summary
A clang-based fork that lists overload candidates and gives a step‑by‑step account of why each candidate is viable or eliminated, shows which overload wins (including template specialization and C++23 deducing this cases), and measures overload resolution time per call and per file to help spot costly overloads. Output can be filtered or emitted as YAML for tooling, it reproduces clang’s choices (not GCC/MSVC), already surfaces real clang bugs, and is open source for testing.
