Log:
[libcxx] Add new Sphinx documentation

Summary:
This patch adds Sphinx based documentation to libc++. The goal is to make it easier to write documentation for libc++ since writing new documentation in HTML is cumbersome. This patch rewrites the main page for libc++ along with the instructions for using, building and testing libc++. 

The built documentation can be found and reviewed here: http://efcs.ca/libcxx-docs

In order to build the sphinx documentation you need to specify the cmake options `-DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON`. This will add the makefile rule `docs-libcxx-html`.

+Building libc++
+===============
+
+.. contents::
+  :local:
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+On Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and later, the easiest way to get this library is to install
+Xcode 4.2 or later.  However if you want to install tip-of-trunk from here
+(getting the bleeding edge), read on.
+
+The basic steps needed to build libc++ are:
+
+#. Checkout LLVM:
+
+   * ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
+   * ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
+
+#. Checkout libc++:
+
+   * ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
+   * ``cd llvm/tools``
+   * ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxx/trunk libcxx``
+
+#. Checkout libc++abi:
+
+   * ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
+   * ``cd llvm/projects``
+   * ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libc++abi libc++abi``
+
+#. Configure and build libc++ with libc++abi:
+
+   `CMake <CMake.html>`_ is the only supported configuration system. Unlike other LLVM
+   projects autotools is not supported for either libc++ or libc++abi.
+
+   Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libc++.
+
+   * ``cd where you want to build llvm``
+   * ``mkdir build``
+   * ``cd build``
+   * ``cmake -G <generator> [options] <path to llvm sources>``
+
+   For more information about configuring libc++ see :ref:`CMake Options`.
+
+   * ``make cxx`` --- will build libc++ and libc++abi.
+   * ``make check-libcxx check-libcxxabi`` --- will run the test suites.
+
+   Shared libraries for libc++ and libc++ abi should now be present in llvm/build/lib.
+   See :ref:`using an alternate libc++ installation <alternate libcxx>`
+
+#. **Optional**: Install libc++ and libc++abi
+
+   If your system already provides a libc++ installation it is important to be
+   careful not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to
+   select a safe place to install libc++.
+
+   * ``make install-libcxx install-libcxxabi`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers
+
+   .. warning::
+     * Replacing your systems libc++ installation could render the system non-functional.
+     * Mac OS X will not boot without a valid copy of ``libc++.1.dylib`` in ``/usr/lib``.
+
+
+The instructions are for building libc++ on
+FreeBSD, Linux, or Mac using `libc++abi`_ as the C++ ABI library.
+On Linux, it is also possible to use :ref:`libsupc++ <libsupcxx>` or libcxxrt.
+
+It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. To build
+libc++ TODO
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ cd where-you-want-libcxx-to-live
+  $ # Check out llvm, libc++ and libc++abi.

+  $ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxx/trunk libcxx``
+  $ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libcxxabi/trunk libcxxabi``

+          path/to/libcxx
+  $ make
+  $ make check-libcxx # optional
+
+
+.. _`libc++abi`: http://libcxxabi.llvm.org/
+
+
+.. _CMake Options:
+
+CMake Options
+=============
+
+Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a
+brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the
+CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
+
+**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
+  Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are
+  Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio
+  the user sets the build type with the IDE settings.
+
+**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH
+  Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the
+  "INSTALL" target is built.
+
+**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING
+  The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libc++.
+
+
+.. _libcxx-specific options:
+
+libc++ specific options
+-----------------------
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``ON``
+
+  Build libc++ with assertions enabled.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_BUILD_32_BITS:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``OFF``
+
+  Build libc++ as a 32 bit library. Also see :option:`LLVM_BUILD_32_BITS`.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_SHARED:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``ON``
+
+  Build libc++ as a shared library. If ``OFF`` is specified then libc++ is
+  built as a static library.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_LIBDIR_SUFFIX:STRING
+
+  Extra suffix to append to the directory where libraries are to be installed.
+  This option overrides :option:`LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX`.
+
+.. _ABI Library Specific Options:
+
+ABI Library Specific Options
+----------------------------
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_CXX_ABI:STRING
+
+  **Values**: ``none``, ``libcxxabi``, ``libcxxrt``, ``libstdc++``, ``libsupc++``.
+
+  Select the ABI library to build libc++ against.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_CXX_ABI_INCLUDE_PATHS:PATHS
+
+  Provide additional search paths for the ABI library headers.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_CXX_ABI_LIBRARY_PATH:PATH
+
+  Provide the path to the ABI library that libc++ should link against.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_STATIC_ABI_LIBRARY:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``OFF``
+
+  If this option is enabled, libc++ will try and link the selected ABI library
+  statically.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXXABI_USE_LLVM_UNWINDER:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``OFF``
+
+  Build and use the LLVM unwinder. Note: This option can only be used when
+  libc++abi is the C++ ABI library used.
+
+
+libc++ Feature options
+----------------------
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``ON``
+
+  Build libc++ with exception support.
+
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_RTTI:BOOL
+
+  **Default**: ``ON``
+
+  Build libc++ with run time type information.
+
+.. _LLVM-specific variables:
+
+LLVM-specific options
+---------------------
+
+.. option:: LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX:STRING
+
+  Extra suffix to append to the directory where libraries are to be
+  installed. On a 64-bit architecture, one could use ``-DLLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX=64``
+  to install libraries to ``/usr/lib64``.
+
+.. option:: LLVM_BUILD_32_BITS:BOOL
+
+  Build 32-bits executables and libraries on 64-bits systems. This option is
+  available only on some 64-bits unix systems. Defaults to OFF.
+
+.. option:: LLVM_LIT_ARGS:STRING
+
+  Arguments given to lit.  ``make check`` and ``make clang-test`` are affected.
+  By default, ``'-sv --no-progress-bar'`` on Visual C++ and Xcode, ``'-sv'`` on
+  others.
+
+
+Using Alternate ABI libraries
+=============================
+
+
+.. _libsupcxx:
+
+Using libsupc++ on Linux
+------------------------
+
+You will need libstdc++ in order to provide libsupc++.
+
+Figure out where the libsupc++ headers are on your system. On Ubuntu this
+is ``/usr/include/c++/<version>`` and ``/usr/include/c++/<version>/<target-triple>``
+
+You can also figure this out by running
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ echo | g++ -Wp,-v -x c++ - -fsyntax-only
+  ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/local/include/x86_64-linux-gnu"
+  ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/include"
+  #include "..." search starts here:
+  #include <...> search starts here:
+  /usr/include/c++/4.7
+  /usr/include/c++/4.7/x86_64-linux-gnu
+  /usr/include/c++/4.7/backward
+  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include
+  /usr/local/include
+  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include-fixed
+  /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
+  /usr/include
+  End of search list.
+
+Note that the first two entries happen to be what we are looking for. This
+may not be correct on other platforms.
+
+We can now run CMake:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" \
+    -DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libstdc++ \
+    -DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI_INCLUDE_PATHS="/usr/include/c++/4.7/;/usr/include/c++/4.7/x86_64-linux-gnu/" \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
+    <libc++-source-dir>
+
+
+You can also substitute ``-DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libsupc++``
+above, which will cause the library to be linked to libsupc++ instead
+of libstdc++, but this is only recommended if you know that you will
+never need to link against libstdc++ in the same executable as libc++.
+GCC ships libsupc++ separately but only as a static library.  If a
+program also needs to link against libstdc++, it will provide its
+own copy of libsupc++ and this can lead to subtle problems.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ make cxx
+  $ make install
+
+You can now run clang with -stdlib=libc++.

+libc++ Documentation
+====================
+
+The libc++ documentation is written using the Sphinx documentation generator. It is
+currently tested with Sphinx 1.1.3.
+
+To build the documents into html configure libc++ with the following cmake options:
+
+  * -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON
+  * -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON
+
+After configuring libc++ with these options the make rule `docs-libcxx-html`
+should be available.

+Testing libc++
+==============
+
+.. contents::
+  :local:
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+libc++ uses LIT to configure and run its tests. The primary way to run the
+libc++ tests is by using make check-libcxx. However since libc++ can be used
+in any number of possible configurations it is important to customize the way
+LIT builds and runs the tests. This guide provides information on how to use
+LIT directly to test libc++.
+
+Please see the `Lit Command Guide`_ for more information about LIT.
+
+.. _LIT Command Guide: http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html
+
+
+Setting up the Environment
+--------------------------
+
+After building libc++ you must setup your environment to test libc++ using
+LIT.
+
+#. Create a shortcut to the actual lit executable so that you can invoke it
+   easily from the command line.
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+     $ alias lit='python path/to/llvm/utils/lit/lit.py'
+
+#. Tell LIT where to find your build configuration.
+
+   .. code-block:: bash
+
+     $ export LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG=path/to/build-libcxx/test/lit.site.cfg
+
+
+LIT Options
+===========
+
+:program:`lit` [*options*...] [*filenames*...]
+
+Command Line Options
+--------------------
+
+To use these options you pass them on the LIT command line as --param NAME or
+--param NAME=VALUE. Some options have default values specified during CMake's
+configuration. Passing the option on the command line will override the default.
+
+.. program:: lit
+
+.. option:: libcxx_site_config=<path/to/lit.site.cfg>
+
+  Specify the site configuration to use when running the tests.  This option
+  overrides the enviroment variable LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG.
+
+.. option:: libcxx_headers=<path/to/headers>
+
+  Specify the libc++ headers that are tested. By default the headers in the
+  source tree are used.
+
+.. option:: libcxx_library=<path/to/libc++.so>
+
+  Specify the libc++ library that is tested. By default the library in the
+  build directory is used. This option cannot be used when use_system_lib is
+  provided.
+
+.. option:: use_system_lib=<bool>
+
+  **Default**: False
+
+  Enable or disable testing against the installed version of libc++ library.
+  Note: This does not use the installed headers.
+
+.. option:: use_lit_shell=<bool>
+
+  Enable or disable the use of LIT's internal shell in ShTests. If the
+  environment variable LIT_USE_INTERNAL_SHELL is present then that is used as
+  the default value. Otherwise the default value is True on Windows and False
+  on every other platform.
+
+.. option:: no_default_flags=<bool>
+
+  **Default**: False
+
+  Disable all default compile and link flags from being added. When this
+  option is used only flags specified using the compile_flags and link_flags
+  will be used.
+
+.. option:: compile_flags="<list-of-args>"
+
+  Specify additional compile flags as a space delimited string.
+  Note: This options should not be used to change the standard version used.
+
+.. option:: link_flags="<list-of-args>"
+
+  Specify additional link flags as a space delimited string.
+
+.. option:: std=<standard version>
+
+  **Values**: c++98, c++03, c++11, c++14, c++1z
+
+  Change the standard version used when building the tests.
+
+.. option:: debug_level=<level>
+
+  **Values**: 0, 1
+
+  Enable the use of debug mode. Level 0 enables assertions and level 1 enables
+  assertions and debugging of iterator misuse.
+
+.. option:: use_sanitizer=<sanitizer name>
+
+  **Values**: Memory, MemoryWithOrigins, Address, Undefined
+
+  Run the tests using the given sanitizer. If LLVM_USE_SANITIZER was given when
+  building libc++ then that sanitizer will be used by default.
+
+.. option:: color_diagnostics
+
+  Enable the use of colorized compile diagnostics. If the color_diagnostics
+  option is specified or the environment variable LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS is
+  present then color diagnostics will be enabled.
+
+
+Environment Variables
+---------------------
+
+.. envvar:: LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG=<path/to/lit.site.cfg>
+
+  Specify the site configuration to use when running the tests.
+  Also see :option:`libcxx_site_config`.
+
+.. envvar:: LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS
+
+  If ``LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS`` is defined then the test suite will attempt
+  to use color diagnostic outputs from the compiler.
+  Also see :option:`color_diagnostics`.

+Using libc++
+============
+
+.. contents::
+  :local:
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+If you already have libc++ installed you can use it with clang.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp
+    $ clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp
+
+On OS X and FreeBSD libc++ is the default standard library
+and the ``-stdlib=libc++`` is not required.
+
+.. _alternate libcxx:
+
+If you want to select an alternate installation of libc++ you
+can use the following options.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ -nostdinc++ \
+            -I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1 \
+            -L<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
+            -Wl,-rpath,<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
+            test.cpp
+
+The option ``-Wl,-rpath,<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib`` adds a runtime library
+search path. Meaning that the systems dynamic linker will look for libc++ in
+``<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib`` whenever the program is run. Alternatively the
+environment variable ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` (``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` on OS X) can
+be used to change the dynamic linkers search paths after a program is compiled.
+
+An example of using ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ -nostdinc++ \
+            -I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1
+            -L<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib \
+            test.cpp -o
+  $ ./a.out # Searches for libc++ in the systems library paths.
+  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<libcxx-install-prefix>/lib
+  $ ./a.out # Searches for libc++ along LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+
+
+Using libc++ on Linux
+=====================
+
+On Linux libc++ typically links to a shared version of libc++abi. Unfortunately
+you can't simply run clang with "-stdlib=libc++" as clang is not set up to
+link for this configuration. To get around this you'll have to manually
+link libc++abi yourself. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp -lc++ -lc++abi -lm -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc
+
+Alternately, you could just add libc++abi to your libraries list, which in
+most situations will give the same result:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp -lc++abi
+
+
+Using libc++ with GCC
+---------------------
+
+GCC does not provide a way to switch from libstdc++ to libc++. You must manually
+configure the compile and link commands.
+
+In particular you must tell GCC to remove the libstdc++ include directories
+using ``-nostdinc++`` and to not link libstdc++.so using ``-nodefaultlibs``.
+
+Note that ``-nodefaultlibs`` removes all of the standard system libraries and
+not just libstdc++ so they must be manually linked. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ g++ -nostdinc++ -I<libcxx-install-prefix>/include/c++/v1 \
+         test.cpp -nodefaultlibs -lc++ -lc++abi -lm -lc -lgcc_s -lgcc

+"libc++" C++ Standard Library
+=============================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+libc++ is a new implementation of the C++ standard library, targeting C++11.
+
+* Features and Goals
+
+  * Correctness as defined by the C++11 standard.
+  * Fast execution.
+  * Minimal memory use.
+  * Fast compile times.
+  * ABI compatibility with gcc's libstdc++ for some low-level features
+    such as exception objects, rtti and memory allocation.
+  * Extensive unit tests.
+
+* Design and Implementation:
+
+  * Extensive unit tests
+  * Internal linker model can be dumped/read to textual format
+  * Additional linking features can be plugged in as "passes"
+  * OS specific and CPU specific code factored out
+
+
+Getting Started with libc++

+
+Current Status
+--------------
+
+After its initial introduction, many people have asked "why start a new
+library instead of contributing to an existing library?" (like Apache's
+libstdcxx, GNU's libstdc++, STLport, etc).  There are many contributing
+reasons, but some of the major ones are:
+
+From years of experience (including having implemented the standard
+library before), we've learned many things about implementing
+the standard containers which require ABI breakage and fundamental changes
+to how they are implemented.  For example, it is generally accepted that
+building std::string using the "short string optimization" instead of
+using Copy On Write (COW) is a superior approach for multicore
+machines (particularly in C++11, which has rvalue references).  Breaking
+ABI compatibility with old versions of the library was
+determined to be critical to achieving the performance goals of
+libc++.
+
+Mainline libstdc++ has switched to GPL3, a license which the developers
+of libc++ cannot use.  libstdc++ 4.2 (the last GPL2 version) could be
+independently extended to support C++11, but this would be a fork of the
+codebase (which is often seen as worse for a project than starting a new
+independent one).  Another problem with libstdc++ is that it is tightly
+integrated with G++ development, tending to be tied fairly closely to the
+matching version of G++.
+
+STLport and the Apache libstdcxx library are two other popular
+candidates, but both lack C++11 support.  Our experience (and the
+experience of libstdc++ developers) is that adding support for C++11 (in
+particular rvalue references and move-only types) requires changes to
+almost every class and function, essentially amounting to a rewrite.
+Faced with a rewrite, we decided to start from scratch and evaluate every
+design decision from first principles based on experience.
+
+Further, both projects are apparently abandoned: STLport 5.2.1 was
+released in Oct'08, and STDCXX 4.2.1 in May'08.
+
+Platform and Compiler Support
+-----------------------------
+
+libc++ is known to work on the following platforms, using gcc-4.2 and
+clang  (lack of C++11 language support disables some functionality).
+Note that functionality provided by ``<atomic>`` is only functional with clang
+and GCC.
+
+============ ==================== ============ ========================
+OS           Arch                 Compilers    ABI Library
+============ ==================== ============ ========================
+Mac OS X     i386, x86_64         Clang, GCC   libc++abi
+FreeBSD 10+  i386, x86_64, ARM    Clang, GCC   libcxxrt, libc++abi
+Linux        i386, x86_64         Clang, GCC   libc++abi
+============ ==================== ============ ========================
+
+The following minimum compiler versions are strongly recommended.
+
+* Clang 3.5 and above
+* GCC 4.7 and above.
+
+Anything older *may* work.
+
+C++ Dialect Support
+---------------------
+
+* C++11 - Complete
+* `C++14 - Complete <cxx14 status_>`__
+* `C++1z - In Progress <cxx1z status_>`__
+* `Post C++14 Technical Specifications - In Progress <ts status_>`__
+
+.. _cxx14 status: http://libcxx.llvm.org/cxx1y_status.html
+.. _cxx1z status: http://libcxx.llvm.org/cxx1z_status.html
+.. _ts status: http://libcxx.llvm.org/ts1z_status.html
+
+
+Notes and Known Issues
+----------------------
+
+This list contains known issues with libc++
+
+* Building libc++ with ``-fno-rtti`` is not supported. However
+  linking against it with ``-fno-rtti`` is supported.
+* On OS X v10.8 and older the CMake option ``-DLIBCXX_LIBCPPABI_VERSION=""``
+  must be used during configuration.
