To return changes to the Clang team, unless you have checkin - privileges, the preferred way is to send patch files - using LLVM's Phabricator with an explanation of what the patch is for. Clang follows LLVM's developer policy. - If your patch requires a wider discussion (for example, because it is an - architectural change), you can use the cfe-dev mailing list.
- -To create these patch files, change directory - to the llvm/tools/clang root and run:
- -svn diff (relative path) >(patch file name)- -
For example, for getting the diffs of all of clang:
- -svn diff . >~/mypatchfile.patch- -
For example, for getting the diffs of a single file:
- -svn diff lib/Parse/ParseDeclCXX.cpp >~/ParseDeclCXX.patch- -
Note that the paths embedded in the patch depend on where you run it, - so changing directory to the llvm/tools/clang directory is recommended.
- -It is also possible to use git to contribute to Clang.
