[llvm-dev] Upstreaming utils/kate/llvm.xml

[Robinson, Paul via llvm-dev]

The kate stuff is already in the LLVM tree, since 2010, and people can update things as they trip over them.
I understood the question to be why it hadn't been upstreamed to KDE.

I would guess because LLVM IR highlighting would be of interest only to LLVM developers, who would all have LLVM checked out anyway.  Also the textual syntax isn't guaranteed stable long-term, and it would be an additional maintenance burden on LLVM developers to make KDE patches.  I'm suspicious that even the version in the LLVM tree is not current, as it hasn't been updated in several years.

We already have emacs and vim syntax highlighting in tree which people occasionally update. I don’t see why we wouldn’t include other editors there. The text format doesn’t change so radically that the syntax highlighting changes in any meaningful way.
