2017 EuroLLVM Developers’ Meeting: V. Voskresensky & P. Kudryavtsev “Clank: Java-port of ..."

http://www.LLVM.org/devmtg/2017-03/ — Clank: Java-port of C/C++ compiler frontend - Vladimir Voskresensky, Oracle & Petr Kudryavtsev, Oracle Slides: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-03//asset... — Clang was written in a way that allows to use it inside IDEs as a provider for various things - from navigation and code completion to refactorings. But is it possible to use it with the modern IDE written in pure Java? Our team spent some time porting Clang into Java and got "Clank - the Java equivalent of native Clang". We will tell you why we failed to use native Clang, how porting to Java was done, what difficulties we faced and what outcome we have at this point. Extended Abstract: We will present the project Clank (with last K) - the Java port of native Clang. The goal was to get the Java code as close to the original C++ code of Clang as possible: preserving structure, names, comments and formatting of original code, but built once to run everywhere. In this talk we will describe which tooling (also based on Clang) we created to automate conversion of C++ LLVM/Clang codebase into Clank Java codebase. The tooling for upgrade Clank code base when new version of Clang is released will be described as well. We will present our experience with evaluating native Clang/libClang technology as the provider for Open Source NetBeans IDE project for C++ language support. We will describe why we failed to use native Clang in the IDE written in pure Java and why created the Java-port named Clank. Will consider C++ constructions used in Clank codebase without direct equivalent in Java and how we resolved the challenges to keep code as close to the original as possible. Also we will mention how Clank was finally used in the production of Open Source NetBeans project. — Videos Filmed & Edited by Bash Films: http://www.BashFilms.com
