4 LLVM welcomes contributions of all kinds. To get started, please review the following topics:
\r
16 SphinxQuickstartTemplate
\r
24 An overview on how to contribute to LLVM.
\r
26 :doc:`DeveloperPolicy`
\r
27 The LLVM project's policy towards developers and their contributions.
\r
30 The LLVM project's code-review process.
\r
32 :doc:`SupportPolicy`
\r
33 The LLVM support policy for core and non-core components.
\r
35 :doc:`SphinxQuickstartTemplate`
\r
36 A template + tutorial for writing new Sphinx documentation. It is meant
\r
37 to be read in source form.
\r
40 Describes how to use the Phabricator code review tool hosted on
\r
41 http://reviews.llvm.org/ and its command line interface, Arcanist.
\r
43 :doc:`HowToSubmitABug`
\r
44 Instructions for properly submitting information about any bugs you run into
\r
48 Describes how bugs are reported, triaged and closed.
\r
50 :doc:`CodingStandards`
\r
51 Details the LLVM coding standards and provides useful information on writing
\r
55 Describes how to use ``git bisect`` on LLVM's repository.
\r
57 .. _development-process:
\r
62 Information about LLVM's development process.
\r
75 How-to guide and templates for new projects that *use* the LLVM
\r
76 infrastructure. The templates (directory organization, Makefiles, and test
\r
77 tree) allow the project code to be located outside (or inside) the ``llvm/``
\r
78 tree, while using LLVM header files and libraries.
\r
80 :doc:`HowToReleaseLLVM`
\r
81 This is a guide to preparing LLVM releases. Most developers can ignore it.
\r
83 :doc:`ReleaseProcess`
\r
84 This is a guide to validate a new release, during the release process. Most developers can ignore it.
\r
86 :doc:`HowToAddABuilder`
\r
87 Instructions for adding new builder to LLVM buildbot master.
\r
90 Advice on packaging LLVM into a distribution.
\r
92 :doc:`Release notes for the current release <ReleaseNotes>`
\r
93 This describes new features, known bugs, and other limitations.
\r
100 If you can't find what you need in these docs, try consulting the mailing
\r
101 lists. In addition to the traditional mailing lists there is also a
\r
102 `Discourse server <https://llvm.discourse.group>`_ available.
\r
104 `Developer's List (llvm-dev)`__
\r
105 This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
\r
106 LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code
\r
107 for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
\r
109 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev
\r
111 `Commits Archive (llvm-commits)`__
\r
112 This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
\r
113 commit code changes to the repository. It also serves as a forum for
\r
114 patch review (i.e. send patches here). It is useful for those who want to
\r
115 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
\r
118 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/
\r
120 `Bugs & Patches Archive (llvm-bugs)`__
\r
121 This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and closed. It is
\r
122 higher volume than the LLVM-dev list.
\r
124 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-bugs/
\r
126 `Test Results Archive (llvm-testresults)`__
\r
127 A message is automatically sent to this list by every active nightly tester
\r
128 when it completes. As such, this list gets email several times each day,
\r
129 making it a high volume list.
\r
131 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-testresults/
\r
133 `LLVM Announcements List (llvm-announce)`__
\r
134 This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
\r
135 LLVM. It gets email about once a month.
\r
137 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
\r
139 .. _online-sync-ups:
\r
144 A number of regular calls are organized on specific topics. It should be
\r
145 expected that the range of topics will change over time. At the time of
\r
146 writing, the following sync-ups are organized:
