				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.

				835

				837	Assume <tt>master</tt> points the upstream and <tt>mybranch</tt> points your

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

				857	know it could be accepted with <tt>patch -p1 -N</tt>.
				858	</p>
				859
				860	<p>
				861	But you may generate patchset with git-format-patch. It generates
				862	by-each-commit patchset. To generate patch files to attach to your article:
				863	</p>
				864
				865	<pre class="doc_code">
				866	git format-patch --no-attach master..mybranch -o /path/to/your/patchset
				867	</pre>
				868
				869	<p>
				870	If you would like to send patches directly, you may use git-send-email or
				871	git-imap-send. Here is an example to generate the patchset in Gmail's [Drafts].
				872	</p>
				873

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

				877
