Create custom analyzers to detect code patterns, bugs, and potential issues during compilation.
Implement custom refactoring rules or generate boilerplate code through AST transformations.
Work directly with the Clang toolchain and LLVM infrastructure for powerful compiler-level customization.
// Example plugin registration
#include "clang/Plugin/PluginRegistry.h"
#include "clang/PluginASTAction.h"
namespace {
class MyPluginAction : public clang::PluginASTAction {
protected:
std::unique_ptr CreateASTConsumer(clang::CompilerInstance &CI, llvm::StringRef InFile) override {
// Implementation here
return nullptr;
}
};
}
ClangPluginDescriptor MyPlugin = {
"my-plugin", new clang::PluginRegistration;
