The intention for this API is to be used when presenting language names to the user, e.g., in expression evaluation diagnostics or LLDB errors. Most uses of `GetNameForLanguageType` can be probably replaced with `GetDisplayNameForLanguageType`, but that's out of scope of this PR. This uses `llvm::dwarf::LanguageDescription` under the hood, so we would lose the version numbers in the names. If we deem those to be important, we could switch to an implementation that hardcodes a list of user-friendly names with version numbers included. The intention is to use it from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/161688 Depends on https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/161804
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
