Correct, but usually you would cc any interested parties so that I can
get some feel for when this code might be merged into Linus' tree.
Understood.
Mostly gathering up what is necessary at this point.
We are indeed working on sending patches to the appropriate people.
The LLVMLinux project would like to participate in the linux-next tree
if possible. We have a branch in our kernel git tree now into which we
have put some of our patches. At the moment, the patches in next are
some of the most core changes which enable clang in Kbuild, but don't
get in the way of the use of gcc.We'll put more patches in the branch as
our other changes are accepted. We'd like more visibility of some of the
changes we'd like in order to enable clang, and a way to help make sure
that we aren't breaking anything in other people's work.
http://git.linuxfoundation.org/llvmlinux/kernel.git (for-next branch)
Normally you would cite the git:// URL ..
Doh. Yes. That would make sense too. A simple protocol change to the URL
is all it takes. Both are available.
git://git.linuxfoundation.org/llvmlinux/kernel.git
Otherwise we're publishing all of our patches in the master branch of
this git tree. Currently we're working on enabling clang support for
x86, arm, and arm64.
The LLVMLinux project is working on changes to the LLVM/clang toolchain
as well as to the linux kernel code in order to be able to compile the
kernel with clang.
I have no objection to this, but would like to see more of these patches
reviewed by (among others) the kbuild guys (cc'd). I also could not find
some of these patches published on lkml (where I would expect to see
them). And the top patch has a very uninformative commit message :-(
Of course. That is the intention. I'll review all the commit messages as
well.
Thanks for the info.
