"Add LLVM" doesn't work

[VioletGiraffe]

I manually downloaded and installed the latest LLVM from the official website. I installed it into a non-default location. I click "Add LLVM" and select that LLVM folder, but nothing happens. I tried selecting the LLVM\bin folder, nothing happens still.

I would like a clear error message instead of a silent failure.

Hi @VioletGiraffe,

What version of LLVM you trying to add?

[VioletGiraffe]

Hi, thanks for looking into this. Version 16.0.0

Hi @VioletGiraffe,

Do you use the last version of Clang Power Tools?

I found out that our extension accepts adding just predefined versions of LLVM, but we will disable this check. If you are using a lower version of Clang Power Tools, it may be the reason why it fails.

Kind regards, Marina

Hi Marina, it was the latest one on the day I submitted this issue. i. e. 5 days ago.

Hi @VioletGiraffe,

We cannot reproduce your issue, and we don't find something suspicious in our source code

Can you provide the full log output after compile run? (activate verbose from Settings -> Verbose mode) Please send us the settings.json file from %appdata%\ClangPowerTools\settings.json

Kind regards, Marina

I can see that it does work, so maybe there's no problem. It found LLVM because I added it to PATH. I'm just put off by the fact that I can't specify the LLVM installation manually, and if it wasn't on the PATH, it would likely not work. Would a log still be helpful when analysis is working?

[mariru27]

Glad to hear that it's working

We definitely will output a message when operation will be completed successfully

Kind regards, Marina

Hi @VioletGiraffe,

We have a bugfix for this issue in Clang Power Tools release v2023.7.0

Kind regards, Marina
