17/// \class Cloneable Cloneable.h "lldb/Utility/Cloneable.h"
18/// A class that implements CRTP-based "virtual constructor" idiom.
19///
20/// Example:
21/// @code
22/// class Base {
23/// using TopmostBase = Base;
24/// public:
25/// virtual std::shared_ptr<Base> Clone() const = 0;
26/// };
27/// @endcode

29/// To define a class derived from the Base with overridden Clone:
30/// @code
31/// class Intermediate : public Cloneable<Intermediate, Base> {};
32/// @endcode
33///
34/// To define a class at the next level of inheritance with overridden Clone:
35/// @code
36/// class Derived : public Cloneable<Derived, Intermediate> {};
37/// @endcode
