SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers developers to build custom tools for source code analysis, debugging, and IDE integration by leveraging the LLVM and Clang infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clang Plugin Development: Extend the Clang compiler with custom checks and transformations.
  • LibTooling: Create standalone static analysis and refactoring tools.
  • LLDB Extension Development: Enhance the LLDB debugger with custom commands and scripting.
  • Clangd/LSP Integration: Develop IDE features and language server extensions.
  • Use Case: Build a custom Clang plugin to enforce project-specific coding standards or develop an LLDB extension to visualize complex data structures during debugging.

Quick Start

Use the llvm-tooling skill to create a Clang plugin that identifies all function declarations in a C++ source file.

Frequently Asked Questions about llvm-tooling

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I develop custom static analysis tools using the Clang AST?▼

To develop custom static analysis tools using the Clang AST, you use LibTooling to create standalone applications for advanced source code analysis and refactoring. This infrastructure allows direct AST manipulation for custom checks.

What is the best way to enforce project-specific coding standards in C++?▼

The best way to enforce project-specific coding standards in C++ is by developing a custom Clang plugin. This extends the Clang compiler with custom checks and transformations directly during the compilation process.

Can I build custom IDE language server extensions with Clangd and LSP?▼

Yes, you can build custom IDE features and language server extensions using Clangd and LSP integration. This leverages LLVM and Clang infrastructure to provide advanced code intelligence and IDE features.

How do I enhance the LLDB debugger to visualize complex data structures?▼

To enhance the LLDB debugger to visualize complex data structures, you can develop custom LLDB extensions. This involves adding custom commands and scripting to provide enhanced debugging capabilities.

Do I need deep C++ compiler internals knowledge to use LLVM tooling?▼

Yes, using LLVM tooling requires a deep understanding of C++ AST manipulation and compiler internals. This prerequisite knowledge is necessary for developing custom tools for source code analysis and debugging effectively.
