[clang] "modular_format" attribute for functions using format strings (#147431) This provides a C language `modular_format` attribute. This combines with information from the existing `format` to set the new IR `modular-format` attribute. The purpose of these attributes is to enable "modular printf". A statically linked libc can provide a modular variant of printf that only weakly references implementation routines. The link-time symbol `printf` would strongly reference aspect symbols (e.g. for float, fixed point, etc.) that are provided by those routines, restoring the status quo. However, the compiler could transform calls with constant format strings to calls to the modular printf instead, and at the same time, it would emit strong references to the aspect symbols that are needed to implement the format string. Then, the printf implementation would contain only the union of the aspects requested. See issue #146159 for context.
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.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
