Mirror reflection utilities

Author:	Matúš Chochlík <chochlik@gmail.com>

Reboot of the Mirror reflection utilities implemented on top of the C++ reflection TS.

Cloning the Mirror repository

git clone --recursive https://github.com/matus-chochlik/mirror.git

Building clang with reflection support

Install the required packages for building clang:

apt install cmake clang lld ninja-build libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev

Build and install clang and libc++:

cd /path/to/mirror/src/dir && \
./tools/build_llvm.sh \
   -b /path/to/llvm/build/dir \
   -i /path/to/llvm/install/dir

Setting up the environment

In order for the build system of the Mirror library to use clang built and installed in the previous step either set and export an environment variable:

export MIRROR_LLVM_PREFIX=/path/to/llvm/install/dir

or create a file named LLVM_PREFIX containing the path to the clang install directory, in the root of the cloned Mirror repository:

echo -n "/path/to/llvm/install/dir" > /path/to/mirror/src/dir/LLVM_PREFIX

Building Mirror

In order to build the Mirror library and its examples you can do:

mkdir -p /path/to/mirror/build/dir && \
cd /path/to/mirror/build/dir && \
cmake /path/to/mirror/src/dir && \
make -j N

mkdir -p /path/to/mirror/build/dir && \
cd /path/to/mirror/build/dir && \
cmake -G Ninja /path/to/mirror/src/dir && \
ninja
