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

[Joseph N. Ruskiewicz via cfe-dev]

Hi Philip,
Would new language support (Swift) go into the standard Clang tools referred here?

You can browse the llvm-mirror on GitHub <https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/tree/master/tools/clang-format>. You can also check out the LLVM + Clang + Clang tools repositories, as documented in "Getting Started: Building and Running Clang <https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html>" steps 1-4. clang-format lives under llvm/tools/clang/tools/clang-format.

The binaries will show up in build/bin. The first time around the compilation will take its time, subsequent builds will be much faster.
