Is there a simple way to find out the parent of an IrExpression i.e. the IrSimpleFunction (or IrFile etc...) that its being called from?

There's some IR visitor you're meant to use, something like IrDeclarationParentVisitor or something that keeps a stack of parent declarations in your state.

You mean this thing? IrElementTransformerVoidWithContext ?

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

YEP that's the one. The "context" here is the parent stack

[Alexander Ioffe]

You mean the IrSymbol thing inside the Scope ?

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

I think? I believe IrSymbol has a way of getting the associated declaration

Ah, it's the protected val currentDeclarationParent that I'm going after. Thanks!
