[ASTMatchers] Enhanced support for matchers taking Regex arguments Added new Macros `AST(_POLYMORPHIC)_MATCHER_REGEX(_OVERLOAD)` that define a matchers that take a regular expression string and optionally regular expression flags. This lets users match against nodes while ignoring the case without having to manually use `[Aa]` or `[A-Fa-f]` in their regex. The other point this addresses is in the current state, matchers that use regular expressions have to compile them for each node they try to match on, Now the regular expression is compiled once when you define the matcher and used for every node that it tries to match against. If there is an error while compiling the regular expression an error will be logged to stderr showing the bad regex string and the reason it couldn't be compiled. The old behaviour of this was down to the Matcher implementation and some would assert, whereas others just would never match. Support for this has been added to the documentation script as well. Support for this has been added to dynamic matchers ensuring functionality is the same between the 2 use cases. Reviewed By: aaron.ballman Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D82706
This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
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 converts it into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.
C-like languages use the Clang front end. 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.
The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.
This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:
Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
Or, on windows, git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
Configure and build LLVM and Clang:
cd llvm-project
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G <generator> [options] ../llvm
Some common build system generators are:
Ninja
--- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.Unix Makefiles
--- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.Visual Studio
--- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.Xcode
--- for generating Xcode projects.Some Common options:
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...'
--- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, or debuginfo-tests.
For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi"
.
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory
--- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default /usr/local
).
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type
--- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug.
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On
--- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).
cmake --build . [-- [options] <target>]
or your build system specified above directly.
The default target (i.e. ninja
or make
) will build all of LLVM.
The check-all
target (i.e. ninja check-all
) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order.
CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own check-<project>
target.
Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for make
, use the option -j NNN
, where NNN
is the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
