Summary: The new rules are straightforward. The main rules to keep in mind are: 1. NAME is an implicit template argument of class and multiclass, and will be substituted by the name of the instantiating def/defm. 2. The name of a def/defm in a multiclass must contain a reference to NAME. If such a reference is not present, it is automatically prepended. And for some additional subtleties, consider these: 3. defm with no name generates a unique name but has no special behavior otherwise. 4. def with no name generates an anonymous record, whose name is unique but undefined. In particular, the name won't contain a reference to NAME. Keeping rules 1&2 in mind should allow a predictable behavior of name resolution that is simple to follow. The old "rules" were rather surprising: sometimes (but not always), NAME would correspond to the name of the toplevel defm. They were also plain bonkers when you pushed them to their limits, as the old version of the TableGen test case shows. Having NAME correspond to the name of the toplevel defm introduces "spooky action at a distance" and breaks composability: refactoring the upper layers of a hierarchy of nested multiclass instantiations can cause unexpected breakage by changing the value of NAME at a lower level of the hierarchy. The new rules don't suffer from this problem. Some existing .td files have to be adjusted because they ended up depending on the details of the old implementation.

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 <http://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` <-> `http://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.
`http://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
