| <h1>Getting Involved with the Clang Project</h1> | |
| <p>Once you have <a href="get_started.html">checked out and built</a> clang and | |
| played around with it, you might be wondering what you can do to make it better | |
| and contribute to its development. Alternatively, maybe you just want to follow | |
| the development of the project to see it progress. | |
| </p> | |
| <h2>Follow what's going on</h2> | |
| <p>Clang is a subproject of the <a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM Project</a>, but | |
| has its own mailing lists because the communities have people with different | |
| interests. The two clang lists are:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits">cfe-commits | |
| </a> - This list is for patch submission/discussion.</li> | |
| <li><a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev">cfe-dev</a> - | |
| This list is for everything else clang related (questions and answers, bug | |
| reports, etc).</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p>If you are interested in clang only, these two lists should be all | |
| you need. If you are interested in the LLVM optimizer and code generator, | |
| please consider signing up for <a | |
| href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">llvmdev</a> and <a | |
| href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">llvm-commits</a> | |
| as well.</p> | |
| <p>The best way to talk with other developers on the project is through the <a | |
| href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev">cfe-dev mailing | |
| list</a>. The clang mailing list is a very friendly place and we welcome | |
| newcomers. In addition to the cfe-dev list, a significant amount of design | |
| discussion takes place on the <a | |
| href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits">cfe-commits mailing | |
| list</a>. All of these lists have archives, so you can browse through previous | |
| discussions or follow the list development on the web if you prefer.</p> | |
| <h2>Open Projects</h2> | |
| <p>Here are a few tasks that are available for newcomers to work on. This list | |
| is provided to generate ideas, it is not intended to be comprehensive. Please | |
| ask on cfe-dev for more specifics or to verify that one of these isn't already | |
| completed. :)</p> | |
| <p>Please note that the information provided here is not completely thorough. | |
| This is intentional. If you plan to work on Clang, we would like you to get | |
| involved with the other developers. This will allow us to work together better | |
| and will give you a better feel for how things are done.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><b>Compile your favorite C/ObjC project with "clang -fsyntax-only"</b>: | |
| the clang type checker and verifier is quite close to complete (but not bug | |
| free!) for C and Objective C. We appreciate all reports of code that is | |
| rejected by the front-end, and if you notice invalid code that is not rejected | |
| by clang, that is also very important to us.</li> | |
