llvm dev - Jun 2009 - [LLVMdev] Tooling support for LLVM-GCC, or CLANG?

Hi,
I seem to remember that a big point of LLVM being built with tooling support
out of the box was a major thing, however, I've not read anything about any
tools which are actually taking advantage of the foundation LLVM provides.
I'm not a Mac user, but I'd assume XCode would be a prime candidate -
does/will XCode use LLVMs foundation to create a better IDE experience?
Also, anyone know of similar efforts for Linux-based IDEs?

Cheers,

Granville

Hi Granville,

Clang itself takes advantage of the LLVM libraries
(http://clang.llvm.org/). The static analyzer takes advantage of the
clang libraries (same URL). There are a host of tools in the tools/
sub-directory, which all use the LLVM libraries.

I'm more interested in whether or not there are any projects in the works
that fuse the tools together to build a better IDE experience. I forget
which presentation it was, but one of the developers (I *think* it was the
gentleman that presented something on CLANG at the dev's conference 2008)
made a bit of a point by saying that LLVM, unlike GCC has been built from
the ground up with tooling in mind. I appreciate that the tools that ship
with LLVM use the foundation in place, however, I am curious as to whether
there are any IDE projects that are building further upon this.
