[llvm-dev] [GSoC] Improve shell autocompletion for Clang

[Yuka Takahashi via llvm-dev]

Hi Shivam,

Thank you for your interest!

1. Don't worry so much about shell scripting, but if you want to practice,
I would recommend writing an autocompletion script for zsh. You can reuse
bash-autocompletion script but need to adjust here and there to
zsh features. You can, for example, refer to this repository
<https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/blob/master/src/_chromium> to
get a sense of how zsh autocompletion works. Let us know if you made some
progress!

2. Wow, you've already done research, great! llvm-opt-fuzzer's code is
in llvm/tools/llvm-opt-fuzzer but I would suggest looking into projects
which include "llvm/Option/OptTable.h". Out implementation in 2017 was in
llvm/Option, as you noticed, and it can be reused at the place where it's
using llvm Option/OptTable. So what about looking
into lld/lib/Driver/DarwinLdDriver.cpp for example?

3. How about those bugs?
Driver:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17342
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39782
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41094

Frontend:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40234

But I would suggest looking into 1&2 materials first!

Let us know if you have further questions!

Cheers,
Yuka
