[libcxx] Add new Sphinx documentation
Summary: This patch adds Sphinx based documentation to libc++. The goal is to make it easier to write documentation for libc++ since writing new documentation in HTML is cumbersome. This patch rewrites the main page for libc++ along with the instructions for using, building and testing libc++. The built documentation can be found and reviewed here: http://efcs.ca/libcxx-docs In order to build the sphinx documentation you need to specify the cmake options `-DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON`. This will add the makefile rule `docs-libcxx-html`.

Getting Started
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
libc++ uses LIT to configure and run its tests. The primary way to run the
|
||||
libc++ tests is by using make check-libcxx. However since libc++ can be used
|
||||
in any number of possible configurations it is important to customize the way
|
||||
LIT builds and runs the tests. This guide provides information on how to use
|
||||
LIT directly to test libc++.
|
||||
|
||||
Please see the `Lit Command Guide`_ for more information about LIT.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up the Environment
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After building libc++ you must setup your environment to test libc++ using
|
||||
LIT.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Create a shortcut to the actual lit executable so that you can invoke it
|
||||
easily from the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ alias lit='python path/to/llvm/utils/lit/lit.py'
|
||||
|
||||
#. Tell LIT where to find your build configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
$ export LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG=path/to/build-libcxx/test/lit.site.cfg
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LIT Options
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
:program:`lit` [*options*...] [*filenames*...]
|
||||
|
||||
Command Line Options
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To use these options you pass them on the LIT command line as --param NAME or
|
||||
--param NAME=VALUE. Some options have default values specified during CMake's
|
||||
configuration. Passing the option on the command line will override the default.
|
||||
|
||||
.. program:: lit
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: libcxx_site_config=<path/to/lit.site.cfg>
|
||||
|
||||
Specify the site configuration to use when running the tests. This option
|
||||
overrides the enviroment variable LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: libcxx_headers=<path/to/headers>
|
||||
|
||||
Specify the libc++ headers that are tested. By default the headers in the
|
||||
source tree are used.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: libcxx_library=<path/to/libc++.so>
|
||||
|
||||
Specify the libc++ library that is tested. By default the library in the
|
||||
build directory is used. This option cannot be used when use_system_lib is
|
||||
provided.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: use_system_lib=<bool>
|
||||
|
||||
**Default**: False
|
||||
|
||||
Enable or disable testing against the installed version of libc++ library.
|
||||
Note: This does not use the installed headers.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: use_lit_shell=<bool>
|
||||
|
||||
Enable or disable the use of LIT's internal shell in ShTests. If the
|
||||
environment variable LIT_USE_INTERNAL_SHELL is present then that is used as
|
||||
the default value. Otherwise the default value is True on Windows and False
|
||||
on every other platform.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: no_default_flags=<bool>
|
||||
|
||||
**Default**: False
|
||||
|
||||
Disable all default compile and link flags from being added. When this
|
||||
option is used only flags specified using the compile_flags and link_flags
|
||||
will be used.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: compile_flags="<list-of-args>"
|
||||
|
||||
Specify additional compile flags as a space delimited string.
|
||||
Note: This options should not be used to change the standard version used.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: link_flags="<list-of-args>"
|
||||
|
||||
Specify additional link flags as a space delimited string.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: std=<standard version>
|
||||
|
||||
**Values**: c++98, c++03, c++11, c++14, c++1z
|
||||
|
||||
Change the standard version used when building the tests.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: debug_level=<level>
|
||||
|
||||
**Values**: 0, 1
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the use of debug mode. Level 0 enables assertions and level 1 enables
|
||||
assertions and debugging of iterator misuse.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: use_sanitizer=<sanitizer name>
|
||||
|
||||
**Values**: Memory, MemoryWithOrigins, Address, Undefined
|
||||
|
||||
Run the tests using the given sanitizer. If LLVM_USE_SANITIZER was given when
|
||||
building libc++ then that sanitizer will be used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
.. option:: color_diagnostics
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the use of colorized compile diagnostics. If the color_diagnostics
|
||||
option is specified or the environment variable LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS is
|
||||
present then color diagnostics will be enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Environment Variables
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. envvar:: LIBCXX_SITE_CONFIG=<path/to/lit.site.cfg>
|
||||
|
||||
Specify the site configuration to use when running the tests.
|
||||
Also see :option:`libcxx_site_config`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. envvar:: LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS
|
||||
|
||||
If ``LIBCXX_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS`` is defined then the test suite will attempt
|
||||
to use color diagnostic outputs from the compiler.
|
||||
Also see :option:`color_diagnostics`.
