these more detailed notes from the primary LLVM release notes for Clang. This gives us a nice place to flesh out in plenty of detail the major changes that have happened in Clang land since 2.9. I've outlined a very rough structure based on the LLVM release notes structure and what seems like useful divisions in the Clang landscape (e.g., language-specific stuff is relevant to a narrower audience). I'll be first converting my brain-dump-ish notes from the commit logs, and then cleaning here. Suggestions on structure welcome. Typo corrections, spelling fixes (oh how I'll need them), all welcome; just commit away. llvm-svn: 145233 |

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
