External Clang Examples
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This page provides some examples of the kinds of things that people have
|
|
done with Clang that might serve as useful guides (or starting points) from
|
|
which to develop your own tools. They may be helpful even for something as
|
|
banal (but necessary) as how to set up your build to integrate Clang.
|
|
|
|
Clang's library-based design is deliberately aimed at facilitating use by
|
|
external projects, and we are always interested in improving Clang to
|
|
better serve our external users. Some typical categories of applications
|
|
where Clang is used are:
|
|
|
|
- Static analysis.
|
|
- Documentation/cross-reference generation.
|
|
|
|
If you know of (or wrote!) a tool or project using Clang, please send an
|
|
email to Clang's `development discussion mailing list
|
|
<https://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_ to have it added.
|
|
(or if you are already a Clang contributor, feel free to directly commit
|
|
additions). Since the primary purpose of this page is to provide examples
|
|
that can help developers, generally they must have code available.

`<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=blob_plain;f=compilerplugins/README;hb=HEAD>`_
|
|
"LibreOffice uses a Clang plugin infrastructure to check during the build
|
|
various things, some more, some less specific to the LibreOffice source code.
|
|
There are currently around 50 such checkers, from flagging C-style casts and
|
|
uses of reserved identifiers to ensuring that code adheres to lifecycle
|
|
protocols for certain LibreOffice-specific classes. They may serve as
|
|
examples for writing RecursiveASTVisitor-based plugins."
