[clang][deps] Remove dependency on `tooling::ToolAction` (#149904) The dependency scanner was initially using a fair amount of infrastructure provided by the `clangTooling` library. Over time, the needs for bespoke handling of command lines grew and the overlap with the tooling library kept shrinking. I don't think the library provides any value anymore. I decided to remove the dependency and only reimplement the small bits required by the scanner. This allowed for a nice simplification, where we no longer need to create temporary dummy `FileManager` instances (mis-named as `DriverFileMgr` in some parts) and `SourceManager` instances to attach to the `DiagnosticsEngine`. That code was copied from the tooling library to support `DiagnosticConsumers` that expect these to exist. The scanner uses a closed set of consumers and none need these objects to exist. The motivation for this (hopefully NFC) patch are some new restrictions to how VFS's can be propagated in Clang that I'm working on.
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.
