|
| 4 | This is a bare bones web page for the "clang" C front-end. This project will
|
| 5 | provide a new C/C++/ObjC front-end for <a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM</a>.

|

|
| 8 | <p>The motivation for this project is described well in Steve Naroff's talk
|
| 9 | at the <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/">2007 LLVM Developer Meeting</a>.
|
| 10 | A <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/09-Naroff-CFE.mov">video</a> and
|
| 11 | <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/09-Naroff-CFE.pdf">slides</a> are
|
| 12 | available.</p>
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 | <p>Some more motivation, details, and performance numbers are in the second
|
| 15 | half of Chris' <a
|
| 16 | href="http://llvm.org/pubs/2007-07-25-LLVM-2.0-and-Beyond.html"> LLVM 2.0
|
| 17 | and Beyond!</a> talk, which describes how the clang pre-processor can be used
|
| 18 | to make distcc 3-4x more scalable.</p>

| 33 | <p>Please note that we don't consider this to be ready for people to take and
|
| 34 | compile random pieces of code with yet. However, if you'd like to do so
|
| 35 | <em>and</em> help fix problems exposed by doing so, we would appreciate the help.</p>
