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

[Phillip van Heerden via cfe-dev]

Hi Owen,

If you are just interested in exploring the source code of clang-format,
you have a couple of options. 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.

If you want to poke around and try changing some things, you can then
compile the code by following step 7 in the getting started guide ("Build
LLVM and Clang"). The binaries will show up in build/bin. The first time
around the compilation will take its time, subsequent builds will be much
faster.

Regards,
Phillip van Heerden
