Where can I find tutorials for Clang? [closed]

Question

I've been looking into using Clang for a tool. But the only "documentation" I can find is the Doxygen output, which is about as useful as the wrong end of an automatic shotgun, and the API itself is about as user-friendly as nuclear waste. It makes some reference to a programmer's guide, but I can't actually seem to find anything like that.

Are there any decent tutorials around the Clang C++ API?

Answer 1

I found the following information illustrative:

• Commented tutorial code to setup parsers
• AST Visitors
• Source of the Clang Tools
• The tests in the source repo (llvm/tools/clang/test)

Though I also found the documentation tends to focus on the c api; libclang.

After reading some of the tutorials above most of the commented source code made much more sense.

However the code base moves quickly and I have found that there has been some refactoring activity with the latest checkouts from svn so the tutorials may need to be updated slightly.

Answer 2

Best you can use is Eli Bendersky's blog posts on llvm/clang.
