A fallible iterator is one whose increment or decrement operations may fail. This would usually be supported by replacing the ++ and -- operators with methods that return error: class MyFallibleIterator { public: // ... Error inc(); Errro dec(); // ... }; The downside of this style is that it no longer conforms to the C++ iterator concept, and can not make use of standard algorithms and features such as range-based for loops. The fallible_iterator wrapper takes an iterator written in the style above and adapts it to (mostly) conform with the C++ iterator concept. It does this by providing standard ++ and -- operator implementations, returning any errors generated via a side channel (an Error reference passed into the wrapper at construction time), and immediately jumping the iterator to a known 'end' value upon error. It also marks the Error as checked any time an iterator is compared with a known end value and found to be inequal, allowing early exit from loops without redundant error checking*. Usage looks like: MyFallibleIterator I = ..., E = ...; Error Err = Error::success(); for (auto &Elem : make_fallible_range(I, E, Err)) { // Loop body is only entered when safe. // Early exits from loop body permitted without checking Err. if (SomeCondition) return; } if (Err) // Handle error. * Since failure causes a fallible iterator to jump to end, testing that a fallible iterator is not an end value implicitly verifies that the error is a success value, and so is equivalent to an error check.

LLVM Documentation ================== LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <http://llvm.org/docs/> and updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below. If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do: cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir> make -j3 docs-llvm-html $BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is `docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `http://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`. If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read `SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText markup syntax. Manpage Output =============== Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`. cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir> make -j3 docs-llvm-man man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1 The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is `docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`. These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also viewable online (as noted above) at e.g. `http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`. Checking links ============== The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by running: cd docs/ make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck Doxygen page Output ============== Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>. cd <build-dir> cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir> make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs make doxygen-clang # for clang docs It will generate html in <build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs <build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
