Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.
*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED
- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
for cross references and some html cross references assume
website root paths
*** IMPROVEMENTS
- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
error will be printed and make will error-stop.

In fact, I just -sat through the paper on adding templates to .NET CLR, and the speaker -indicated that the goal seems to be to do simple static compilation (very -little lowering or optimization). Also, the templates implementation in CLR -"relies on dynamic class loading and JIT compilation". - -This is an important difference because I think there are some significant -advantages to have a much lower level VM layer, and do significant static -analysis and optimization. - -I also talked to the lead guy for KAI's C++ compiler (Arch Robison) and he -said that SGI and other commercial compilers have included options to export -their *IR* next to the object code (i.e., .il files) and use them for -link-time code generation. In fact, he said that the .o file was nearly -empty and was entirely generated from the .il at link-time. But he agreed -that this limited the link-time interprocedural optimization to modules -compiled by the same compiler, whereas our approach allows us to link and -optimize modules from multiple different compilers. (Also, of course, they -don't do anything for runtime optimization). - -All issues to bring up in Related Work. - ---Vikram - |
