+How To Setup Clang Tooling For LLVM
+===================================
+
+Clang Tooling provides infrastructure to write tools that need syntactic
+and semantic information about a program. This term also relates to a set
+of specific tools using this infrastructure (e.g. ``clang-check``). This
+document provides information on how to set up and use Clang Tooling for
+the LLVM source code.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Clang Tooling needs a compilation database to figure out specific build
+options for each file. Currently it can create a compilation database
+from the ``compilation_commands.json`` file, generated by CMake. When
+invoking clang tools, you can either specify a path to a build directory
+using a command line parameter ``-p`` or let Clang Tooling find this
+file in your source tree. In either case you need to configure your
+build using CMake to use clang tools.
+
+Setup Clang Tooling Using CMake and Make
+========================================
+
+If you intend to use make to build LLVM, you should have CMake 2.8.6 or
+later installed (can be found `here <http://cmake.org>`_).
+
+First, you need to generate Makefiles for LLVM with CMake. You need to
+make a build directory and run CMake from it:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ mkdir your/build/directory
+ $ cd your/build/directory
+ $ cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON path/to/llvm/sources
+
+If you want to use clang instead of GCC, you can add
+``-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/clang++``.
+You can also use ``ccmake``, which provides a curses interface to configure
+CMake variables for lazy people.
+
+As a result, the new ``compile_commands.json`` file should appear in the
+current directory. You should link it to the LLVM source tree so that
+Clang Tooling is able to use it:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ln -s $PWD/compile_commands.json path/to/llvm/source/
+
+Now you are ready to build and test LLVM using make:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ make check-all
+
+Using Clang Tools
+=================
+
+After you completed the previous steps, you are ready to run clang tools. If
+you have a recent clang installed, you should have ``clang-check`` in
+``$PATH``. Try to run it on any ``.cpp`` file inside the LLVM source tree:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang-check tools/clang/lib/Tooling/CompilationDatabase.cpp
+
+If you're using vim, it's convenient to have clang-check integrated. Put
+this into your ``.vimrc``:
+
+::
+
+ function! ClangCheckImpl(cmd)
+ if &autowrite | wall | endif
+ echo "Running " . a:cmd . " ..."
+ let l:output = system(a:cmd)
+ cexpr l:output
+ cwindow
+ let w:quickfix_title = a:cmd
+ if v:shell_error != 0
+ cc
+ endif
+ let g:clang_check_last_cmd = a:cmd
+ endfunction
+
+ function! ClangCheck()
+ let l:filename = expand('%')
+ if l:filename =~ '\.\(cpp\|cxx\|cc\|c\)$'
+ call ClangCheckImpl("clang-check " . l:filename)
+ elseif exists("g:clang_check_last_cmd")
+ call ClangCheckImpl(g:clang_check_last_cmd)
+ else
+ echo "Can't detect file's compilation arguments and no previous clang-check invocation!"
+ endif
+ endfunction
+
+ nmap <silent> <F5> :call ClangCheck()<CR><CR>
+
+When editing a .cpp/.cxx/.cc/.c file, hit F5 to reparse the file. In
+case the current file has a different extension (for example, .h), F5
+will re-run the last clang-check invocation made from this vim instance
+(if any). The output will go into the error window, which is opened
+automatically when clang-check finds errors, and can be re-opened with
+``:cope``.
+
+Other ``clang-check`` options that can be useful when working with clang
+AST:
+
+* ``-ast-print`` --- Build ASTs and then pretty-print them.
+* ``-ast-dump`` --- Build ASTs and then debug dump them.
+* ``-ast-dump-filter=<string>`` --- Use with ``-ast-dump`` or ``-ast-print`` to
+ dump/print only AST declaration nodes having a certain substring in a
+ qualified name. Use ``-ast-list`` to list all filterable declaration node
+ names.
+* ``-ast-list`` --- Build ASTs and print the list of declaration node qualified
+ names.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang-check tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp -ast-dump -ast-dump-filter ActionFactory::newASTConsumer
+ Processing: tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp.
+ Dumping ::ActionFactory::newASTConsumer:
+ clang::ASTConsumer *newASTConsumer() (CompoundStmt 0x44da290 </home/alexfh/local/llvm/tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp:64:40, line:72:3>
+ (IfStmt 0x44d97c8 <line:65:5, line:66:45>
+ <<<NULL>>>
+ (ImplicitCastExpr 0x44d96d0 <line:65:9> '_Bool':'_Bool' <UserDefinedConversion>
+ ...
+ $ clang-check tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp -ast-print -ast-dump-filter ActionFactory::newASTConsumer
+ Processing: tools/clang/tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp.
+ Printing <anonymous namespace>::ActionFactory::newASTConsumer:
+ clang::ASTConsumer *newASTConsumer() {
+ if (this->ASTList.operator _Bool())
+ return clang::CreateASTDeclNodeLister();
+ if (this->ASTDump.operator _Bool())
+ return clang::CreateASTDumper(this->ASTDumpFilter);
+ if (this->ASTPrint.operator _Bool())
+ return clang::CreateASTPrinter(&llvm::outs(), this->ASTDumpFilter);
+ return new clang::ASTConsumer();
+ }
+
+(Experimental) Using Ninja Build System
+=======================================
+
+Optionally you can use the `Ninja <https://github.com/martine/ninja>`_
+build system instead of make. It is aimed at making your builds faster.
+Currently this step will require building Ninja from sources.
+
+To take advantage of using Clang Tools along with Ninja build you need
+at least CMake 2.8.9.
+
+Clone the Ninja git repository and build Ninja from sources:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git clone git://github.com/martine/ninja.git
+ $ cd ninja/
+ $ ./bootstrap.py
+
+This will result in a single binary ``ninja`` in the current directory.
+It doesn't require installation and can just be copied to any location
+inside ``$PATH``, say ``/usr/local/bin/``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ sudo cp ninja /usr/local/bin/
+ $ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/ninja
+
+After doing all of this, you'll need to generate Ninja build files for
+LLVM with CMake. You need to make a build directory and run CMake from
+it:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ mkdir your/build/directory
+ $ cd your/build/directory
+ $ cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON path/to/llvm/sources
+
+If you want to use clang instead of GCC, you can add
+``-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/clang++``.
+You can also use ``ccmake``, which provides a curses interface to configure
+CMake variables in an interactive manner.
+
+As a result, the new ``compile_commands.json`` file should appear in the
+current directory. You should link it to the LLVM source tree so that
+Clang Tooling is able to use it:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ln -s $PWD/compile_commands.json path/to/llvm/source/
+
+Now you are ready to build and test LLVM using Ninja:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ ninja check-all
+
+Other target names can be used in the same way as with make.
