<h1>Getting Started: Building and Running Clang</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This page gives you the shortest path to checking out clang and demos a few
|
|
options. This should get you up and running with the minimum of muss and fuss.
|
|

<h2>A word of warning</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>While this work aims to provide a fully functional C/C++/ObjC front-end, it
|
|
is <em>still early work</em> and is under heavy development. In particular,
|
|
there is no real C++ support yet (this is obviously a big project), and C/ObjC
|
|
support is still missing some features. Some of the more notable missing pieces
|
|
of C support are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The semantic analyzer does not produce all of the warnings and errors it
|
|
should.</li>
|
|
<li>The LLVM code generator is still missing important features. clang is not
|
|
ready to be used as a general purpose C code generator yet, but if you
|
|
hit problems and report them to cfe-dev, we'll fix them :).</li>
|
|
<li>We don't consider the API to be stable yet, and reserve the right to
|
|
change fundamental things.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our plan is to continue chipping away at these issues until C works really
|
|
well, but we'd love help from other interested contributors. We expect C to be
|
|
in good shape by mid to late 2008.</p>

<h3><a name="build">Building clang / working with the code</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you would like to check out and build the project, the current scheme
|
|
is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout">Checkout
|
|
and build LLVM</a> from SVN head:</li>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>cd llvm</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>./configure; make</tt></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>Checkout clang:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>From within the <tt>llvm</tt> directory (where you
|
|
built llvm):</li>
|
|
<li><tt>cd llvm/tools</tt>
|
|
<li><tt>svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang</tt></li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li>Non-mac users: Paths to system header files are currently hard coded
|
|
into clang; as a result, if clang can't find your system headers,
|
|
please follow these instructions:</li>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>'<tt>touch empty.c; gcc -v empty.c -fsyntax-only</tt>' to get the
|
|
path.</li>
|
|
<li>Look for the comment "FIXME: temporary hack:
|
|
hard-coded paths" in <tt>clang/Driver/clang.cpp</tt> and
|
|
change the lines below to include that path.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Build clang:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>cd clang</tt> (assuming that you are in <tt>llvm/tools</tt>)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>make</tt> (this will give you a debug build)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Try it out (assuming you add llvm/Debug/bin to your path):</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>clang --help</tt></li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -fsyntax-only</tt> (check for correctness)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -ast-dump</tt> (internal debug dump of ast)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -ast-view</tt> (<a
|
|
href="http://llvm.org/docs/ProgrammersManual.html#ViewGraph">set up graphviz
|
|
and rebuild llvm first</a>)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -emit-llvm</tt> (print out unoptimized llvm code)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -emit-llvm -o - | llvm-as | opt -std-compile-opts |
|
|
llvm-dis</tt> (print out optimized llvm code)</li>
|
|
<li><tt>clang file.c -emit-llvm -o - | llvm-as | opt -std-compile-opts | llc
|
|
> file.s</tt> (output native machine code)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the C front-end uses LLVM, but does not depend on
|
|
llvm-gcc. If you encounter problems with building clang, make
|
|
sure you have the latest SVN version of LLVM. LLVM contains
|
|
support libraries for clang that will be updated as well as
|
|
development on clang progresses.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Building clang while building llvm:</h3>
|
|
<p>Since you've checked out clang into the llvm source tree you can
|
|
build them all at once with a simple Makefile change. This moves
|
|
Step 1 above to Step 4.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>cd llvm/tools</tt></li>
|
|
<li>then edit <tt>Makefile</tt> to have a clang target in <tt>PARALLEL_DIRS</tt>
|
|
just like <tt>llvm-config</tt></li>
|
|
<li>then just build llvm normally as above and clang will build at
|
|
the same time</li>
|
|
<li><em>Note:</em> you can update your toplevel project and all (possibly unrelated)
|
|
projects inside it with <tt><b>make update</b></tt>. This will run
|
|
<tt>svn update</tt> on all subdirectories related to subversion.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Examples of using clang</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The clang driver takes a lot of GCC compatible options, which you can see
|
|
with 'clang --help'. Here are a few examples:</p>

<h3>GCC "Emulation" Driver</h3>
|
|
|
|
While the <tt>clang</tt> executable is a compiler driver that can perform code
|
|
generation, program analysis, and other actions, it is not designed to be a
|
|
drop-in replacement for GCC's <tt>cc</tt>. There is interest in developing such
|
|
a driver for clang, but in the interim the clang source tree includes a Python
|
|
script <tt>ccc</tt> in the <tt>utils</tt> subdirectory that provides some of
|
|
this functionality (the script is intended to be used where GCC's <tt>cc</tt>
|
|
could be used). It is currently a work in progress, and eventually will likely
|
|
be replaced by a more complete driver.
|
|
|
|
<p>Example use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
$ <b>ccc t.c</b>
|
|
clang -emit-llvm-bc -o t.o -U__GNUC__ t.c
|
|
llvm-ld -native -o a.out t.o
|
|
$ <b>ls</b>
|
|
a.out a.out.bc t.c t.o
|
|
