[cmake] Pass PYTHON_EXECUTABLE to native builds (#163574) Ensure that the nested native build uses the same python interpreter as the main build, in case the python that CMake detects first is not the python that the user has specified explicitly. For example, if the person building LLVM wants to use a different python interpreter to build (eg, testing the build with `python3.14` when `python3` is a link to `python3.8`, or the default python doesn't have development headers available) then they could add `-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=python3.14` when invoking CMake. This should be forwarded to the native CMake build to ensure that the same python is used. Original fix by Anuj Mittal <anuj.mittal@intel.com>.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
