Run ./try and hopefully you'll see a huge list of headers spewed out.
If that didn't work, contact me (chisophugis@gmail.com) immediately and I
will fix it.
The goal of this is to be a really clear and simple tutorial on how to do useful stuff with clang. I'm hoping it will make a good "Hello World" for people new to clang; that's exactly what I found most sorely lacking documentation-wise for clang (and LLVM in general), and my experience was so distasteful that I feel impelled to fix the situation.
However, the doxygen docs are fantastic! Once you make it past the inital hurdle of the "Hello World", it's pretty smooth sailing.
Contact me immediately if
- you have any trouble whatsoever with this example program
- find anything insufficiently explained (even the Makefile!)
- find any explanations unclear
- you come up with a small tweak that could make the program more interesting
- have a suggestion for something that you would like to see the program do that you think would make an interesting "Hello World"
Clang needs these kinds of minimal tutorials to get people up and running quickly. If you try this out, fork the repo! Then if you make something even remotely interesting, send me a pull request and I'll add it to the collection (obviously I'll organize things better if that happens).
Some ideas:
- Add a
RecursiveASTVisitorand scrape interesting statistics about your program (i.e. how many while loops are there in a source file?). You'll need a customASTConsumerthat hands off to theRecursiveASTVisitor. Check the doxygen. - Inject the
FindDependenciesplugin into the build of a project (why not LLVM/Clang?) then run some graph algorithms on the result.
