External Projects Using Clang
=============================

Clang is more than a compiler; its library-based approach allows creation of
different kinds of tools that can process source code.

This page contains references to Clang based tools and projects. To extend
the list you could write email to the `development mailing list
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_.

List of projects and tools
==========================

`<https://github.com/etaoins/qconnectlint>`_
   "qconnectlint is a Clang tool for statically verifying the consistency
   of signal and slot connections made with Qt's ``QObject::connect``."

`<https://github.com/woboq/woboq_codebrowser>`_
   "The Woboq Code Browser is a web-based code browser for C/C++ projects.
   Check out `<http://code.woboq.org/>`_ for an example!"

`<https://github.com/mozilla/dxr>`_
    "DXR is a source code cross-reference tool that uses static analysis
    data collected by instrumented compilers."

`<https://github.com/eschulte/clang-mutate>`_
    "This tool performs a number of operations on C-language source files."

`<https://github.com/gmarpons/Crisp>`_
    "A coding rule validation add-on for LLVM/clang. Crisp rules are written
    in Prolog. A high-level declarative DSL to easily write new rules is under
    development. It will be called CRISP, an acronym for *Coding Rules in
    Sugared Prolog*."

`<https://github.com/drothlis/clang-ctags>`_
    "Generate tag file for C++ source code."

`<https://github.com/exclipy/clang_indexer>`_

    "Linty - C/C++ Style Checking with Python & libclang."

`<https://github.com/axw/cmonster>`_
    "cmonster is a Python wrapper for the Clang C++ parser."

`<https://github.com/rizsotto/Constantine>`_
    "Constantine is a toy project to learn how to write clang plugin.  
    Implements pseudo const analysis. Generates warnings about variables,
    which were declared without const qualifier."

`<https://github.com/jessevdk/cldoc>`_
    "cldoc is a Clang based documentation generator for C and C++.
    cldoc tries to solve the issue of writing C/C++ software documentation
    with a modern, non-intrusive and robust approach."
