| <title>Minimal clang home page</title> |
| |
| <p> |
| This is a bare bones web page for the "clang" C front-end. This project will |
| provide a new C/C++/ObjC front-end for <a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The motivation for this project is described well in Steve Naroff's talk |
| at the <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/">2007 LLVM Developer Meeting</a>. |
| A <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/09-Naroff-CFE.mov">video</a> and |
| <a href="http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/09-Naroff-CFE.pdf">slides</a> are |
| available.</p> |
| |
| <p>Some more motivation, details, and performance numbers are in the second |
| half of Chris' <a |
| href="http://llvm.org/pubs/2007-07-25-LLVM-2.0-and-Beyond.html"> LLVM 2.0 |
| and Beyond!</a> talk, which describes how the clang preprocessor can be used |
| to make distcc 3-4x more scalable.</p> |

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