Hi all,
It seems the CND cluster is using a library called Clank
(cnd/libs.clank). This seems to be a Java wrapper around clang, which
was presented at "2017 European LLVM Developers Meeting" [1]
Quoting:
"The Java port of native Clang. The goal was to get the Java code as
close to the original C++ code of Clang as possible"
It seems the code is still available in Github [2]. I was wondering if
we want to contact the authors and ask for permission to donate the code
(or at least to set an Open Source License we can use, the project has
none right now). The code seems to be very complex and uses a version of
Clang which I think is obsolete now.
As far as I can tell cnd/libs.clank (and cnd/cnd.model.jclank.bridge)
are not required to compile cnd (not sure, though), so we can seek for
alternatives in the future.
Questions:
1.- Do we want to contact the authors? If so, how do we do this? PMC?
2.- Or do we want to seek alternatives to this module?
Thanks,
Antonio
