[cfe-dev] clang library cycles

[Sean Silva]

Why don't you try a Clang plugin?

A while back I wrote a clang plugin that incidentally does most of the
setup you need:

https://github.com/chisophugis/clang_plugin_example

Then just rebuild all of clang hooking the plugin in with CXXFLAGS (I
can be more specific if you need some more guidance).
