External Projects Using Clang
=============================
Clang is more than a compiler; its library-based approach allows creation of
different kinds of tools that can process source code.
Introduction
============
This page contains references to Clang based tools and projects. To extend
the list you could write email to the `development mailing list
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_.
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
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/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.
