A collection of C++ sample programs demonstrating how to use LLVM and Clang as libraries, with branches tracking specific LLVM versions. The repository is explicitly unmaintained as of September 2018.

Use cases

• learn how to use LLVM as a library
• examples of building compiler tools with Clang APIs
• sample code for parsing C++ with Clang
• getting started with LLVM C++ API
• using Clang as a compilation toolchain

When to choose

• you are working with an older LLVM version (up to ~6.0) and want working example code
• you want to learn LLVM/Clang library fundamentals from readable samples
• you need a reference for out-of-source builds against LLVM libraries

When to avoid

• you need examples for current LLVM versions, since the API changes constantly and this repo is unmaintained
• you want production-ready tooling rather than educational samples
• you are on Windows or macOS, as the build is Makefile-based for Linux
