[cfe-dev] working with clang-format source code

[Owen Pan via cfe-dev]

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for the info. I know I can build the entire clang, which includes
clang-format, but I don't know if there is a way to download and build only
the part of clang that's required for clang-format. Any advice would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Owen
