See https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-July/143373.html "[llvm-dev] Multiple documents in one test file" for some discussions. `extract part filename` splits the input file into multiple parts separated by regex `^(.|//)--- ` and extract the specified part to stdout or the output file (if specified). Use case A (organizing input of different formats (e.g. linker script+assembly) in one file). ``` // RUN: extract lds %s -o %t.lds // RUN: extract asm %s -o %t.s // RUN: llvm-mc %t.s -o %t.o // RUN: ld.lld -T %t.lds %t.o -o %t This is sometimes better than the %S/Inputs/ approach because the user can see the auxiliary files immediately and don't have to open another file. ``` Use case B (for utilities which don't have built-in input splitting feature): ``` // RUN: extract case1 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE1 // RUN: extract case2 %s | llc | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=CASE2 Combing tests prudently can improve readability. This is sometimes better than having multiple test files. ``` Since this is a new utility, there is no git history concerns for UpperCase variable names. I use lowerCase variable names like mlir/lld.

LLVM Documentation
==================
LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.
If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-html
$BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html
The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `https://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.
Manpage Output
===============
Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-man
man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1
The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
Checking links
==============
The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:
cd docs/
make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck
Doxygen page Output
==============
Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
make doxygen-clang # for clang docs
It will generate html in
<build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
<build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
