Hi all, While building/testing LLVM/Clang on ARM, I often have problems that are undocumented on the website. I would like to contribute my experience if possible so that others can benefit from it. If this is a good idea, I am wondering on what page I should write it down, [1] or [2]?

Or a new document under | user guides: | http://llvm.org/docs/userguides.html#userguides The FAQ sounds as good a place as any for the "actual information". However, as the recent --abi=aapcs issue has highlighted it may not be obvious that there's a question to ask in the first place. So I'd suggest adding a very brief sentence that there exists information about non-obvious parameters stored in the FAQ to both getting started and testing documents. Cheers, David
Why at are the problems you ran into? (it will be easier to know where to put them the more you tell us about the nature of the problems) Also, I believe that GettingStarted.html is outdated in some parts, so a refresher is certainly in order. --Sean Silva On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 9:57 AM, 陳韋任 (Wei-Ren Chen) <chenwj at iis.sinica.edu.tw> wrote:> Hi all, > > While building/testing LLVM/Clang on ARM, I often have problems that > are undocumented on the website.

Hi Sean, Currently, I want to make one note for building LLVM/Clang for ARM, and the other one for testing. People who building LLVM/Clang on a ARM board which has no more than 1G memory, should make a swap partition and use gold to avoid oom. The other one is not so obvious. People who want to run test cases on ARM should build LLVM/Clang with "--with-abi=aapcs" option, this is an option not list on `configure --help`, to avoid false alarm. More details can see in [1].
