-How To Setup Clang Tooling For LLVM
-===================================
-
-Clang Tooling provides infrastructure to write tools that need syntactic
-and semantic information about a program. This term also relates to a set
-of specific tools using this infrastructure (e.g. ``clang-check``). This
-document provides information on how to set up and use Clang Tooling for
-the LLVM source code.
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-Clang Tooling needs a compilation database to figure out specific build
-options for each file. Currently it can create a compilation database
-from the ``compile_commands.json`` file, generated by CMake. When
-invoking clang tools, you can either specify a path to a build directory
-using a command line parameter ``-p`` or let Clang Tooling find this
-file in your source tree. In either case you need to configure your
-build using CMake to use clang tools.
-
-Setup Clang Tooling Using CMake and Make
-========================================
-
-If you intend to use make to build LLVM, you should have CMake 2.8.6 or
-later installed (can be found `here <http://cmake.org>`_).
-
-First, you need to generate Makefiles for LLVM with CMake. You need to
-make a build directory and run CMake from it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ mkdir your/build/directory
- $ cd your/build/directory
- $ cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON path/to/llvm/sources
-
-If you want to use clang instead of GCC, you can add
-``-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/clang++``.
-You can also use ``ccmake``, which provides a curses interface to configure
-CMake variables for lazy people.
-
-As a result, the new ``compile_commands.json`` file should appear in the
-current directory. You should link it to the LLVM source tree so that
-Clang Tooling is able to use it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ ln -s $PWD/compile_commands.json path/to/llvm/source/
-
-Now you are ready to build and test LLVM using make:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ make check-all
-
-Using Clang Tools
-=================
-
-After you completed the previous steps, you are ready to run clang tools. If
-you have a recent clang installed, you should have ``clang-check`` in
-``$PATH``. Try to run it on any ``.cpp`` file inside the LLVM source tree:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ clang-check tools/clang/lib/Tooling/CompilationDatabase.cpp
-
-If you're using vim, it's convenient to have clang-check integrated. Put
-this into your ``.vimrc``:
-
-::
-
- function! ClangCheckImpl(cmd)
- if &autowrite | wall | endif
- echo "Running " . a:cmd . " ..."
- let l:output = system(a:cmd)
- cexpr l:output
- cwindow
- let w:quickfix_title = a:cmd
- if v:shell_error != 0
- cc
- endif
- let g:clang_check_last_cmd = a:cmd
- endfunction
-
- function! ClangCheck()
- let l:filename = expand('%')
- if l:filename =~ '\.\(cpp\|cxx\|cc\|c\)$'
- call ClangCheckImpl("clang-check " . l:filename)
- elseif exists("g:clang_check_last_cmd")
- call ClangCheckImpl(g:clang_check_last_cmd)
- else
- echo "Can't detect file's compilation arguments and no previous clang-check invocation!"
- endif
- endfunction
-
- nmap <silent> <F5> :call ClangCheck()<CR><CR>
-
-When editing a .cpp/.cxx/.cc/.c file, hit F5 to reparse the file. In
-case the current file has a different extension (for example, .h), F5
-will re-run the last clang-check invocation made from this vim instance
-(if any). The output will go into the error window, which is opened
-automatically when clang-check finds errors, and can be re-opened with
-``:cope``.
-
-Other ``clang-check`` options that can be useful when working with clang
-AST:
-
-* ``-ast-print`` --- Build ASTs and then pretty-print them.
-* ``-ast-dump`` --- Build ASTs and then debug dump them.
-* ``-ast-dump-filter=<string>`` --- Use with ``-ast-dump`` or ``-ast-print`` to
- dump/print only AST declaration nodes having a certain substring in a
- qualified name. Use ``-ast-list`` to list all filterable declaration node
- names.
-* ``-ast-list`` --- Build ASTs and print the list of declaration node qualified
- names.
-
-Examples:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ clang-check tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp -ast-dump -ast-dump-filter ActionFactory::newASTConsumer
- Processing: tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp.
- Dumping ::ActionFactory::newASTConsumer:
- clang::ASTConsumer *newASTConsumer() (CompoundStmt 0x44da290 </home/alexfh/local/llvm/tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp:64:40, line:72:3>
- (IfStmt 0x44d97c8 <line:65:5, line:66:45>
- <<<NULL>>>
- (ImplicitCastExpr 0x44d96d0 <line:65:9> '_Bool':'_Bool' <UserDefinedConversion>
- ...
- $ clang-check tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp -ast-print -ast-dump-filter ActionFactory::newASTConsumer
- Processing: tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp.
- Printing <anonymous namespace>::ActionFactory::newASTConsumer:
- clang::ASTConsumer *newASTConsumer() {
- if (this->ASTList.operator _Bool())
- return clang::CreateASTDeclNodeLister();
- if (this->ASTDump.operator _Bool())
- return clang::CreateASTDumper(nullptr /*Dump to stdout.*/,
- this->ASTDumpFilter);
- if (this->ASTPrint.operator _Bool())
- return clang::CreateASTPrinter(&llvm::outs(), this->ASTDumpFilter);
- return new clang::ASTConsumer();
- }
-
-(Experimental) Using Ninja Build System
-=======================================
-
-Optionally you can use the `Ninja <https://github.com/martine/ninja>`_
-build system instead of make. It is aimed at making your builds faster.
-Currently this step will require building Ninja from sources.
-
-To take advantage of using Clang Tools along with Ninja build you need
-at least CMake 2.8.9.
-
-Clone the Ninja git repository and build Ninja from sources:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ git clone git://github.com/martine/ninja.git
- $ cd ninja/
- $ ./bootstrap.py
-
-This will result in a single binary ``ninja`` in the current directory.
-It doesn't require installation and can just be copied to any location
-inside ``$PATH``, say ``/usr/local/bin/``:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ sudo cp ninja /usr/local/bin/
- $ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/ninja
-
-After doing all of this, you'll need to generate Ninja build files for
-LLVM with CMake. You need to make a build directory and run CMake from
-it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ mkdir your/build/directory
- $ cd your/build/directory
- $ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON path/to/llvm/sources
-
-If you want to use clang instead of GCC, you can add
-``-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/clang++``.
-You can also use ``ccmake``, which provides a curses interface to configure
-CMake variables in an interactive manner.
-
-As a result, the new ``compile_commands.json`` file should appear in the
-current directory. You should link it to the LLVM source tree so that
-Clang Tooling is able to use it:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ ln -s $PWD/compile_commands.json path/to/llvm/source/
-
-Now you are ready to build and test LLVM using Ninja:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- $ ninja check-all
-
-Other target names can be used in the same way as with make.
