    • AOSP Code Search link

• Android Platform LLVM binutils

  • Currently clang-r510928

    • Look for “clang-” in mainline build configs.
    • Look for “clang-” in android15-6.1 build configs
  • When adding or removing a clang prebuilt, the list in kleaf/versions.bzl needs to be updated.

  • Currently clang-r487747c
  • Linux emulator is temporarily hardcoded to clang-r487747c, see b/268674933
  • Look for “clang-” in external/qemu/android/build/toolchains.json.
    • Note that they work out of the emu-master-dev branch.
    • Android Code Search link

• Context Hub Runtime Environment (CHRE)

  • Currently clang-r498229b
