[docs] Collate CMake options

I found the documentation of the various CMake variables difficult to
navigate, because they are unsorted. I can see they've grown
organically with new clusters of somewhat-related options, but the
result is hard to use. This collates them (treating '_' as space).

**LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD**:STRING
Semicolon-separated list of targets to build, or *all* for building all
targets. Case-sensitive. Defaults to *all*. Example:
``-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86;PowerPC"``.
**BUILD_SHARED_LIBS**:BOOL
Flag indicating if each LLVM component (e.g. Support) is built as a shared
library (ON) or as a static library (OFF). Its default value is OFF. On
Windows, shared libraries may be used when building with MinGW, including
mingw-w64, but not when building with the Microsoft toolchain.
**LLVM_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS_TO_BUILD**:STRING
Semicolon-separated list of experimental targets to build and linked into
llvm. This will build the experimental target without needing it to add to the
list of all the targets available in the LLVM's main CMakeLists.txt.
.. note:: BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is only recommended for use by LLVM developers.
If you want to build LLVM as a shared library, you should use the
``LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB`` option.
**LLVM_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS**:STRING
Used to decide if LLVM should be built with ABI breaking checks or
not. Allowed values are `WITH_ASSERTS` (default), `FORCE_ON` and
`FORCE_OFF`. `WITH_ASSERTS` turns on ABI breaking checks in an
assertion enabled build. `FORCE_ON` (`FORCE_OFF`) turns them on
(off) irrespective of whether normal (`NDEBUG`-based) assertions are
enabled or not. A version of LLVM built with ABI breaking checks
is not ABI compatible with a version built without it.
**LLVM_APPEND_VC_REV**:BOOL
Embed version control revision info (Git revision id).
The version info is provided by the ``LLVM_REVISION`` macro in
``llvm/include/llvm/Support/VCSRevision.h``. Developers using git who don't
need revision info can disable this option to avoid re-linking most binaries
after a branch switch. Defaults to ON.
**LLVM_BUILD_32_BITS**:BOOL
Build 32-bit executables and libraries on 64-bit systems. This option is
available only on some 64-bit Unix systems. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_BUILD_BENCHMARKS**:BOOL
Adds benchmarks to the list of default targets. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_BUILD_DOCS**:BOOL
Adds all *enabled* documentation targets (i.e. Doxgyen and Sphinx targets) as
dependencies of the default build targets. This results in all of the (enabled)
documentation targets being as part of a normal build. If the ``install``
target is run then this also enables all built documentation targets to be
installed. Defaults to OFF. To enable a particular documentation target, see
see LLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX and LLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN.
**LLVM_BUILD_EXAMPLES**:BOOL
Build LLVM examples. Defaults to OFF. Targets for building each example are
generated in any case. See documentation for *LLVM_BUILD_TOOLS* above for more
details.
**LLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED_COVERAGE**:BOOL
If enabled, `source-based code coverage
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SourceBasedCodeCoverage.html>`_ instrumentation
is enabled while building llvm.
**LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB**:BOOL
If enabled, the target for building the libLLVM shared library is added.
This library contains all of LLVM's components in a single shared library.
Defaults to OFF. This cannot be used in conjunction with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.
Tools will only be linked to the libLLVM shared library if LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB
is also ON.
The components in the library can be customised by setting LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS
to a list of the desired components.
This option is not available on Windows.
**LLVM_BUILD_TESTS**:BOOL
Build LLVM unit tests. Defaults to OFF. Targets for building each unit test
are generated in any case. You can build a specific unit test using the
targets defined under *unittests*, such as ADTTests, IRTests, SupportTests,
etc. (Search for ``add_llvm_unittest`` in the subdirectories of *unittests*
for a complete list of unit tests.) It is possible to build all unit tests
with the target *UnitTests*.

**LLVM_CCACHE_BUILD**:BOOL
If enabled and the ``ccache`` program is available, then LLVM will be
built using ``ccache`` to speed up rebuilds of LLVM and its components.
Defaults to OFF. The size and location of the cache maintained
by ``ccache`` can be adjusted via the LLVM_CCACHE_MAXSIZE and LLVM_CCACHE_DIR
options, which are passed to the CCACHE_MAXSIZE and CCACHE_DIR environment
variables, respectively.
**LLVM_CREATE_XCODE_TOOLCHAIN**:BOOL
macOS Only: If enabled CMake will generate a target named
'install-xcode-toolchain'. This target will create a directory at
$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/Toolchains containing an xctoolchain directory which can
be used to override the default system tools.
**LLVM_DOXYGEN_QCH_FILENAME**:STRING
The filename of the Qt Compressed Help file that will be generated when
``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON`` and
``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN_QT_HELP=ON`` are given. Defaults to
``org.llvm.qch``.
This option is only useful in combination with

**LLVM_DOXYGEN_QHP_CUST_FILTER_NAME**:STRING
See `Qt Help Project`_ for
more information. Defaults to the CMake variable ``${PACKAGE_STRING}`` which
is a combination of the package name and version string. This filter can then
be used in Qt Creator to select only documentation from LLVM when browsing
through all the help files that you might have loaded. This option is only
useful in combination with ``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN_QT_HELP=ON``;
otherwise it has no effect.

Enable building with MSVC DIA SDK for PDB debugging support. Available
only with MSVC. Defaults to ON.
**LLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN**:BOOL
Enables the generation of browsable HTML documentation using doxygen.
Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN_QT_HELP**:BOOL
Enables the generation of a Qt Compressed Help file. Defaults to OFF.
This affects the make target ``doxygen-llvm``. When enabled, apart from
the normal HTML output generated by doxygen, this will produce a QCH file
named ``org.llvm.qch``. You can then load this file into Qt Creator.
This option is only useful in combination with ``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON``;
otherwise this has no effect.
**LLVM_ENABLE_EH**:BOOL

link against LLVM libraries and make use of C++ exceptions in your own code
that need to propagate through LLVM code. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_EXPENSIVE_CHECKS**:BOOL
Enable additional time/memory expensive checking. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_FFI**:BOOL
Indicates whether the LLVM Interpreter will be linked with the Foreign Function
Interface library (libffi) in order to enable calling external functions.
If the library or its headers are installed in a custom
location, you can also set the variables FFI_INCLUDE_DIR and
FFI_LIBRARY_DIR to the directories where ffi.h and libffi.so can be found,
respectively. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_IDE**:BOOL
Tell the build system that an IDE is being used. This in turn disables the
creation of certain convenience build system targets, such as the various
``install-*`` and ``check-*`` targets, since IDEs don't always deal well with
a large number of targets. This is usually autodetected, but it can be
configured manually to explicitly control the generation of those targets. One
scenario where a manual override may be desirable is when using Visual Studio
2017's CMake integration, which would not be detected as an IDE otherwise.
**LLVM_ENABLE_LIBCXX**:BOOL
If the host compiler and linker supports the stdlib flag, -stdlib=libc++ is
passed to invocations of both so that the project is built using libc++
instead of stdlibc++. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_LIBPFM**:BOOL
Enable building with libpfm to support hardware counter measurements in LLVM
tools.
Defaults to ON.
**LLVM_ENABLE_LLD**:BOOL
This option is equivalent to `-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld`, except during a 2-stage
build where a dependency is added from the first stage to the second ensuring
that lld is built before stage2 begins.
**LLVM_ENABLE_LTO**:STRING
Add ``-flto`` or ``-flto=`` flags to the compile and link command
lines, enabling link-time optimization. Possible values are ``Off``,
``On``, ``Thin`` and ``Full``. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_ENABLE_MODULES**:BOOL
Compile with `Clang Header Modules
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/Modules.html>`_.
**LLVM_ENABLE_PEDANTIC**:BOOL
Enable pedantic mode. This disables compiler-specific extensions, if

this flag. Some systems, like Windows, do not need this flag. Defaults to ON.
**LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS**:STRING
Semicolon-separated list of projects to build, or *all* for building all
(clang, libcxx, libcxxabi, lldb, compiler-rt, lld, polly, etc) projects.
This flag assumes that projects are checked out side-by-side and not nested,
i.e. clang needs to be in parallel of llvm instead of nested in `llvm/tools`.
This feature allows to have one build for only LLVM and another for clang+llvm
using the same source checkout.

llvm. This will build the experimental target without needing it to add to the
list of all the targets available in the LLVM's main CMakeLists.txt.
**LLVM_EXTERNAL_{CLANG,LLD,POLLY}_SOURCE_DIR**:PATH
These variables specify the path to the source directory for the external
LLVM projects Clang, lld, and Polly, respectively, relative to the top-level
source directory. If the in-tree subdirectory for an external project
exists (e.g., llvm/tools/clang for Clang), then the corresponding variable
will not be used. If the variable for an external project does not point
to a valid path, then that project will not be built.
**LLVM_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS**:STRING
Semicolon-separated list of additional external projects to build as part of
llvm. For each project LLVM_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_SOURCE_DIR have to be specified

**LLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX**:BOOL
If specified, CMake will search for the ``sphinx-build`` executable and will make
the ``SPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML`` and ``SPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN`` CMake options available.
Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB**:BOOL
If enabled, tools will be linked with the libLLVM shared library. Defaults
to OFF. Setting LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB to ON also sets LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB
to ON.
This option is not available on Windows.
**LLVM_LIT_ARGS**:STRING
Arguments given to lit. ``make check`` and ``make clang-test`` are affected.
By default, ``'-sv --no-progress-bar'`` on Visual C++ and Xcode, ``'-sv'`` on
others.
**LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR**:PATH
The path to GnuWin32 tools for tests. Valid on Windows host. Defaults to
the empty string, in which case lit will look for tools needed for tests
(e.g. ``grep``, ``sort``, etc.) in your %PATH%. If GnuWin32 is not in your
%PATH%, then you can set this variable to the GnuWin32 directory so that
lit can find tools needed for tests in that directory.
**LLVM_OPTIMIZED_TABLEGEN**:BOOL
If enabled and building a debug or asserts build the CMake build system will
generate a Release build tree to build a fully optimized tablegen for use
during the build. Enabling this option can significantly speed up build times
especially when building LLVM in Debug configurations.
**LLVM_PARALLEL_COMPILE_JOBS**:STRING
Define the maximum number of concurrent compilation jobs.
**LLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS**:STRING
Define the maximum number of concurrent link jobs.
**LLVM_PROFDATA_FILE**:PATH
Path to a profdata file to pass into clang's -fprofile-instr-use flag. This
can only be specified if you're building with clang.
**LLVM_REVERSE_ITERATION**:BOOL
If enabled, all supported unordered llvm containers would be iterated in
reverse order. This is useful for uncovering non-determinism caused by
iteration of unordered containers.
**LLVM_STATIC_LINK_CXX_STDLIB**:BOOL
Statically link to the C++ standard library if possible. This uses the flag
"-static-libstdc++", but a Clang host compiler will statically link to libc++
if used in conjunction with the **LLVM_ENABLE_LIBCXX** flag. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_TABLEGEN**:STRING
Full path to a native TableGen executable (usually named ``llvm-tblgen``). This is
intended for cross-compiling: if the user sets this variable, no native
TableGen will be created.
**LLVM_TARGET_ARCH**:STRING
LLVM target to use for native code generation. This is required for JIT
generation. It defaults to "host", meaning that it shall pick the architecture
of the machine where LLVM is being built. If you are cross-compiling, set it
to the target architecture name.
**LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD**:STRING
Semicolon-separated list of targets to build, or *all* for building all
targets. Case-sensitive. Defaults to *all*. Example:
``-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86;PowerPC"``.
**LLVM_TEMPORARILY_ALLOW_OLD_TOOLCHAIN**:BOOL
If enabled, the compiler version check will only warn when using a toolchain
which is about to be deprecated, instead of emitting an error.
**LLVM_UBSAN_FLAGS**:STRING
Defines the set of compile flags used to enable UBSan. Only used if
``LLVM_USE_SANITIZER`` contains ``Undefined``. This can be used to override
the default set of UBSan flags.
**LLVM_USE_CRT_{target}**:STRING
On Windows, tells which version of the C runtime library (CRT) should be used.
For example, -DLLVM_USE_CRT_RELEASE=MT would statically link the CRT into the
LLVM tools and library.
**LLVM_USE_INTEL_JITEVENTS**:BOOL
Enable building support for Intel JIT Events API. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_USE_LINKER**:STRING
Add ``-fuse-ld={name}`` to the link invocation. The possible value depend on
your compiler, for clang the value can be an absolute path to your custom
linker, otherwise clang will prefix the name with ``ld.`` and apply its usual
search. For example to link LLVM with the Gold linker, cmake can be invoked
with ``-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=gold``.
**LLVM_USE_NEWPM**:BOOL
If enabled, use the experimental new pass manager.
**LLVM_USE_OPROFILE**:BOOL
Enable building OProfile JIT support. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_USE_PERF**:BOOL
Enable building support for Perf (linux profiling tool) JIT support. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS_IN_FILES**:BOOL
Rewrite absolute source paths in sources and debug info to relative ones. The
source prefix can be adjusted via the LLVM_SOURCE_PREFIX variable.
**LLVM_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS_IN_DEBUG_INFO**:BOOL
Rewrite absolute source paths in debug info to relative ones. The source prefix
can be adjusted via the LLVM_SOURCE_PREFIX variable.
**LLVM_USE_SANITIZER**:STRING
Define the sanitizer used to build LLVM binaries and tests. Possible values
are ``Address``, ``Memory``, ``MemoryWithOrigins``, ``Undefined``, ``Thread``,
``DataFlow``, and ``Address;Undefined``. Defaults to empty string.
**SPHINX_EXECUTABLE**:STRING
The path to the ``sphinx-build`` executable detected by CMake.
@ -585,103 +682,6 @@ LLVM-specific variables
If enabled then sphinx documentation warnings will be treated as
errors. Defaults to ON.
**LLVM_INSTALL_SPHINX_HTML_DIR**:STRING
The path to install Sphinx-generated HTML documentation to. This path can
either be absolute or relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Defaults to
`share/doc/llvm/html`.
**LLVM_INSTALL_OCAMLDOC_HTML_DIR**:STRING
The path to install OCamldoc-generated HTML documentation to. This path can
either be absolute or relative to the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Defaults to
`share/doc/llvm/ocaml-html`.
**LLVM_CREATE_XCODE_TOOLCHAIN**:BOOL
macOS Only: If enabled CMake will generate a target named
'install-xcode-toolchain'. This target will create a directory at
$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/Toolchains containing an xctoolchain directory which can
be used to override the default system tools.
**LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB**:BOOL
If enabled, the target for building the libLLVM shared library is added.
This library contains all of LLVM's components in a single shared library.
Defaults to OFF. This cannot be used in conjunction with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.
Tools will only be linked to the libLLVM shared library if LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB
is also ON.
The components in the library can be customised by setting LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS
to a list of the desired components.
This option is not available on Windows.
**LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB**:BOOL
If enabled, tools will be linked with the libLLVM shared library. Defaults
to OFF. Setting LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB to ON also sets LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB
to ON.
This option is not available on Windows.
**BUILD_SHARED_LIBS**:BOOL
Flag indicating if each LLVM component (e.g. Support) is built as a shared
library (ON) or as a static library (OFF). Its default value is OFF. On
Windows, shared libraries may be used when building with MinGW, including
mingw-w64, but not when building with the Microsoft toolchain.
.. note:: BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is only recommended for use by LLVM developers.
If you want to build LLVM as a shared library, you should use the
``LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB`` option.
**LLVM_OPTIMIZED_TABLEGEN**:BOOL
If enabled and building a debug or asserts build the CMake build system will
generate a Release build tree to build a fully optimized tablegen for use
during the build. Enabling this option can significantly speed up build times
especially when building LLVM in Debug configurations.
**LLVM_REVERSE_ITERATION**:BOOL
If enabled, all supported unordered llvm containers would be iterated in
reverse order. This is useful for uncovering non-determinism caused by
iteration of unordered containers.
**LLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED_COVERAGE**:BOOL
If enabled, `source-based code coverage
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SourceBasedCodeCoverage.html>`_ instrumentation
is enabled while building llvm.
**LLVM_CCACHE_BUILD**:BOOL
If enabled and the ``ccache`` program is available, then LLVM will be
built using ``ccache`` to speed up rebuilds of LLVM and its components.
Defaults to OFF. The size and location of the cache maintained
by ``ccache`` can be adjusted via the LLVM_CCACHE_MAXSIZE and LLVM_CCACHE_DIR
options, which are passed to the CCACHE_MAXSIZE and CCACHE_DIR environment
variables, respectively.
**LLVM_FORCE_USE_OLD_TOOLCHAIN**:BOOL
If enabled, the compiler and standard library versions won't be checked. LLVM
may not compile at all, or might fail at runtime due to known bugs in these
toolchains.
**LLVM_TEMPORARILY_ALLOW_OLD_TOOLCHAIN**:BOOL
If enabled, the compiler version check will only warn when using a toolchain
which is about to be deprecated, instead of emitting an error.
**LLVM_USE_NEWPM**:BOOL
If enabled, use the experimental new pass manager.
**LLVM_ENABLE_BINDINGS**:BOOL
If disabled, do not try to build the OCaml and go bindings.
**LLVM_ENABLE_Z3_SOLVER**:BOOL
If enabled, the Z3 constraint solver is activated for the Clang static analyzer.
A recent version of the z3 library needs to be available on the system.
**LLVM_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS_IN_DEBUG_INFO**:BOOL
Rewrite absolute source paths in debug info to relative ones. The source prefix
can be adjusted via the LLVM_SOURCE_PREFIX variable.
**LLVM_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS_IN_FILES**:BOOL
Rewrite absolute source paths in sources and debug info to relative ones. The
source prefix can be adjusted via the LLVM_SOURCE_PREFIX variable.
