"""Calls `gn` with the right --dotfile= and --root= arguments for LLVM."""

# GN normally expects a file called '.gn' at the root of the repository.
# Since LLVM's GN build isn't supported, putting that file at the root
# is deemed inappropriate, which requires passing --dotfile= and -root= to GN.
# Since that gets old fast, this script automatically passes these arguments.
