LLVM toolchain support for Eclipse CDT. Now deprecated since it is build-in to Eclipse CDT via installation option. LLVM is a modular toolchain architecture that is used more and more in all kinds of computing platforms for it's certain benefits.

Who has access to Mac could test plug-in on Mac OS X.

I've tested it on Mac OS X, but I can't get it to work with GNU make builds. 
When I try to create a project using any of the clang/llvm-gcc toolchains I get 
an internal error at:

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.llvm.ui.LlvmIsToolChainSupported.isSupported()

I think it does not work with the internal builder either.

I am fairly sure the reason is same as in issue 38. The development version is 
aimed for CDT 8.x.

I have created a temporary solution.

I created a new update site for CDT 7.x supported version. Feel free to test 
this plug-in now and if you find any issues please write them down here.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, with the version from the CDT7 
update site I get a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to change the 
toolchain to llvm or when I try to create a fresh project using any of the llvm 
toolchains.

Ok, I will look into it tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know. I am sorry that 
it doesn't work like it should yet because currently this is mainly a one man 
side project. I am trying my best to fix things in a timely manner though but 
the 'stable' milestone is around December or so and hopefully integrated as a 
part of CDT by then. Just hoping everything goes like planned.

I tested the plug-in successfully on Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) with Eclipse 3.6.2 
(Helios) and CDT 7.0.2.

I don't have access to Mac system so all I can think of is that either LLVM 
with Clang/LLVM-GCC is not installed correctly or there is something wrong with 
plug-in's Mac specific toolchain definition configurations. I can ask another 
developer who has a Mac if he would like to test it.

I can create a fresh project with 1.0.2.201104221620 without getting an 
exception. However, if I go to the project properties, Tool chain editor, 
uncheck 'Display compatible toolchains only', then select LLVM, I get

That is a known bug. Similar than Issue 1. It would be great to get fixed but I 
have no idea what is the reason behind that error. It is probably related to 
toolchain compatibility because if you select another toolchain then the LLVM 
disappears from the list.
