Follow on from #84739, which updates the DIBuilder class.
All the functions that have been added are temporary and will be
deprecated in the future. The intention is that they'll help downstream
projects adapt during the transition period.
```
New functions (all to be deprecated)
------------------------------------
LLVMIsNewDbgInfoFormat # Returns true if the module is in the new non-instruction mode.
LLVMSetIsNewDbgInfoFormat # Convert to the requested debug info format.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDeclareIntrinsicBefore # Insert a debug intrinsic (old debug info format).
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDeclareIntrinsicAtEnd # Same as above.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDbgValueIntrinsicBefore # Same as above.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDbgValueIntrinsicAtEnd # Same as above.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDeclareRecordBefore # Insert a debug record (new debug info format).
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDeclareRecordAtEnd # Same as above.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDbgValueRecordBefore # Same as above.
LLVMDIBuilderInsertDbgValueRecordAtEnd # Same as above.
```
The existing `LLVMDIBuilderInsert...` functions call through to the
intrinsic versions (old debug info format) currently.
In the next patch, I'll swap them to call the debug records versions
(new debug info format). Downstream users of this API can query and
change the current format using the first two functions above, or can
instead opt to temporarily use intrinsics or records explicitly.
LLVM Documentation
==================
LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.
If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-html
$BROWSER <build-dir>/docs/html/index.html
The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `https://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.
Manpage Output
===============
Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-man
man -l <build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1
The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
Checking links
==============
The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:
cd llvm/docs/
sphinx-build -b linkcheck . _build/lintcheck/
# report will be generated in _build/lintcheck/output.txt
Doxygen page Output
==============
Install doxygen <https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
make doxygen-clang # for clang docs
It will generate html in
<build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
<build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
