Alpha Level LLVM-11 Support

[AmeyaVS]

• Not exhaustively tested
• Some feature might be broken
• Currently only build and tested out-of-tree LLVM build tree.
• Current pytest report:

Nitpick: shouldn't it be called “LLVM 11 support”? The incompatibilities are about changes in the LLVM infrastructure, rather than Clang specifically, right?

[hikari-no-yume]

This doesn't seem to work for LLVM 10, or at least the system version of it provided by Ubuntu 20.04. Is that intentional? I don't have any particular stance, personally, on whether to support more than one version of LLVM, but it seemed worth testing.

@hikari-no-yume Updated the title my bad for missing the intent.

Nitpick: shouldn't it be called “LLVM 11 support”? The incompatibilities are about changes in the LLVM infrastructure, rather than Clang specifically, right?

I will try and fix these code section to be compatible with LLVM-10.

[hikari-no-yume]

Hi, it builds on my system LLVM 10 now, and running pytest I only get those same two known failures. Thanks!

[hikari-no-yume]

Maybe the README should be updated to say it builds with LLVM 11?
