首先我们确定下Clang编译器的具体内容和涵盖范围。之前在《LLVM每日谈之二十 Everything && Clang driver 》中曾经提到过,Clang driver(命令行表示是clang)和Clang前端(按照具体实现来说就是Clang的那些库所实现的前端)是不同的,同时还存在一个Clang编译器(命令行表示是clang -cc1)。Clang编译器不仅仅包含了Clang前端,还包括使用LLVM的哭实现的编译器的中间阶段以及后端,同时也集成了assembler。
Clang driver有一系列的frontend action,这些frontend action定义于clang/include/clang/Frontend/FrontendOptions.h中的ActionKind枚举中。其中一些frontend action就会触发Clang编译器(clang -cc1),比如:ASTView, EmitBC, EmitObj等。一旦触发了Clang编译器(clang -cc1),就会执行函数cc1_main()(clang/tools/driver/cc1_main.cpp),从名字上就可以看出来,这个函数是Clang编译器(clang -cc1)的入口主函数。
举个具体的例子来看一下:
min.c
int min(int a, int b) { if (a < b) { return a; } return b; }

所以,对于那些我们已经明确需要clang编译器去作的工作,我们可以不通过clang driver去隐式调用(比如上面的例子),而是直接在命令行调用clang -cc1去执行,并且在clang -cc1之后跟clang编译器接受的参数。也可以通过clang -Xclang就可以直接将参数传递给clang编译器(clang -cc1)。下面的具体实现,将同时给出这两种的命令行形式,其实运行结果几乎是完全相同的。不同的是,使用clang -Xclang的时候,如果不加强制的参数,这里虽然-Xclang将参数传递给了clang -cc1,但是这里的clang driver依然会继续工作的。在下面的例子中会进行分别的展示
编译器首先进行的是词法分析,我们可以通过命令行去查看进行词法分析之后的token序列到底是怎么样的,仍然以上面的min.c为例,运行命令:
clang -cc1 -dump-tokens min.c
运行之后得到如下输出:
int ‘int‘ [StartOfLine] Loc=<min.c:1:1> identifier ‘min‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:5> l_paren ‘(‘ Loc=<min.c:1:8> int ‘int‘ Loc=<min.c:1:9> identifier ‘a‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:13> comma ‘,‘ Loc=<min.c:1:14> int ‘int‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:16> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:20> r_paren ‘)‘ Loc=<min.c:1:21> l_brace ‘{‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:23> if ‘if‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:5> l_paren ‘(‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:8> identifier ‘a‘ Loc=<min.c:2:9> less ‘<‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:11> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:13> r_paren ‘)‘ Loc=<min.c:2:14> l_brace ‘{‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:16> return ‘return‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:3:9> identifier ‘a‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:3:16> semi ‘;‘ Loc=<min.c:3:17> r_brace ‘}‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:4:5> return ‘return‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:5:5> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:5:12> semi ‘;‘ Loc=<min.c:5:13> r_brace ‘}‘ [StartOfLine] Loc=<min.c:6:1> eof ‘‘ Loc=<min.c:6:2>或者选用: clang -Xclang -dump-tokens min.c
输出信息如下:
int ‘int‘ [StartOfLine] Loc=<min.c:1:1> identifier ‘min‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:5> l_paren ‘(‘ Loc=<min.c:1:8> int ‘int‘ Loc=<min.c:1:9> identifier ‘a‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:13> comma ‘,‘ Loc=<min.c:1:14> int ‘int‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:16> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:20> r_paren ‘)‘ Loc=<min.c:1:21> l_brace ‘{‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:1:23> if ‘if‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:5> l_paren ‘(‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:8> identifier ‘a‘ Loc=<min.c:2:9> less ‘<‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:11> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:13> r_paren ‘)‘ Loc=<min.c:2:14> l_brace ‘{‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:2:16> return ‘return‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:3:9> identifier ‘a‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:3:16> semi ‘;‘ Loc=<min.c:3:17> r_brace ‘}‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:4:5> return ‘return‘ [StartOfLine] [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:5:5> identifier ‘b‘ [LeadingSpace] Loc=<min.c:5:12> semi ‘;‘ Loc=<min.c:5:13> r_brace ‘}‘ [StartOfLine] Loc=<min.c:6:1> eof ‘‘ Loc=<min.c:6:2> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /tmp/min-3cce9d.o: No such file or directory clang-3.5: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)明显可以看到,使用-Xclang的时候,把-dump-tokens参数传递给了clang -cc1,但是clang driver依然工作,并且调用了ld.
可以使用clang -### -Xclang -dump-tokens min.c命令进行验证。
看过了词法分析阶段,我们再看下clang编译器语法分析来的AST nodes。
使用命令:clang -cc1 -fsyntax-only -ast-dump min.c
或者:clang -fsyntax-only -Xclang -ast-dump min.c
输出结果一样:
