				80	<p>Welcome to LLVM! In order to get started, you first need to know some
				81	basic information.</p>
				82
Andrew Trick	bcf0116	2010-09-23 20:26:44 +0000	[diff] [blame]	83	<p>First, LLVM comes in three pieces. The first piece is the LLVM
				84	suite. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files
				85	needed to use the low level virtual machine. It contains an
				86	assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer and bitcode optimizer. It
				87	also contains basic regression tests that can be used to test the LLVM
				88	tools and the GCC front end.</p>
Misha Brukman	00c73d2	2003-11-07 19:43:14 +0000	[diff] [blame]	89
				90	<p>The second piece is the GCC front end. This component provides a version of
Gabor Greif	04367bf	2007-07-06 22:07:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	91	GCC that compiles C and C++ code into LLVM bitcode. Currently, the GCC front
Chris Lattner	82ad9f1	2007-03-06 06:27:34 +0000	[diff] [blame]	92	end uses the GCC parser to convert code to LLVM. Once
Gabor Greif	04367bf	2007-07-06 22:07:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	93	compiled into LLVM bitcode, a program can be manipulated with the LLVM tools
Misha Brukman	00c73d2	2003-11-07 19:43:14 +0000	[diff] [blame]	94	from the LLVM suite.</p>
				95

Andrew Trick	bcf0116	2010-09-23 20:26:44 +0000	[diff] [blame]	97	There is a third, optional piece called Test Suite. It is a suite of programs
John Criswell	3d8ba51	2004-12-08 17:53:54 +0000	[diff] [blame]	98	with a testing harness that can be used to further test LLVM's functionality
				99	and performance.

				832	Please read <a href="DeveloperPolicy.html#patches">Developer Policy</a>, too.

				834
				835	<p>
				836	Assume <tt>master</tt> points the upstream and <tt>mybranch</tt> points your

				840
				841	<pre class="doc_code">
				842	git diff --check master..mybranch
				843	</pre>
				844
				845	<p>
				846	The easiest way to generate a patch is as below:
				847	</p>
				848
				849	<pre class="doc_code">
				850	git diff master..mybranch > /path/to/mybranch.diff
				851	</pre>
				852
				853	<p>
				854	It is a little different from svn-generated diff. git-diff-generated diff has

				856	know it could be accepted with <tt>patch -p1 -N</tt>.
				857	</p>
				858
				859	<p>
				860	But you may generate patchset with git-format-patch. It generates
				861	by-each-commit patchset. To generate patch files to attach to your article:
				862	</p>
				863
				864	<pre class="doc_code">
				865	git format-patch --no-attach master..mybranch -o /path/to/your/patchset
				866	</pre>
				867
				868	<p>
				869	If you would like to send patches directly, you may use git-send-email or
				870	git-imap-send. Here is an example to generate the patchset in Gmail's [Drafts].
				871	</p>
				872

				874	git format-patch --attach master..mybranch --stdout \| git imap-send

				876
