[clang][Headers] add endian.h (#186032) POSIX.1-2024 defines a header called `endian.h`` which contains macros and helpers for handling byte order conversions. Unfortunately it is not available on all platforms, however LLVM libc has a useful endian.h implementation that is essentially only casts and builtins. This PR draws on that implementation to add a clang header so applications on platforms without it can make use of this header. The clang header forwards to the system header if available, so existing usages are not affected.
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.
