Development

The current version of the plug-in works with release_34 of LLVM and clang. Clone the repository to llvm/tools/clang/examples/Clang-KeyPathValidator and run make to compile the plugin, and make run to do a diagnostic pass over the files in the tests directory.

TODO

There are a bunch of tasks tracked in GitHub Issues.
