Advanced code transformation techniques using LLVM's Clang plugin infrastructure
Start Refactoring TutorialUse Clang's AST to traverse and modify code structure with precise transformations.
Learn AST Techniques →Implement refactoring operations through Clang's rewrite engine for source code changes.
View Passes →Build IDE-integrated refactoring tools using clang-tidy and clang-format APIs.
