Adding a new attribute

Clang Frontend
1

Hi,

Are there any documents on how to add a new attribute to CLANG? I am also
interested in generating a new function annotation corresponding to this attribute
in the LLVM IR. Can someone point me to some docs or code sequence to
look at?

Best Regards,
Raj

There's no documentation on adding attributes, and although the situation has improved a bit---see include/clang/Basic/Attr.td for examples on how to get started---you're still going to have to add code in quite a few places in Clang. I suggest picking an attribute that is similar to what you want (e.g., applies to the same kinds of entities) and follow it through Clang.
