Set up Clang
============

[![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-clang/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-clang/actions/workflows/test.yml)

This GitHub action sets up Clang & LLVM in your workflow run.

1. Installs either 32-bit or 64-bit Clang & LLVM on either Ubuntu, Windows or
Cygwin.
2. Specify a version to install using the `version` parameter.

Use it in your workflow like this:

- name: Set up Clang
uses: egor-tensin/setup-clang@v1
with:
version: latest
platform: x64

* `latest` is the default value for the `version` parameter and can be omitted.
* `x64` is the default value for the `platform` parameter and can be omitted.
Use `x86` if you want to build 32-bit binaries.
* Set the `cygwin` parameter to `1` to set up Clang inside an existing Cygwin
installation (you can set up Cygwin itself using my action [setup-cygwin]).
* `cc` and `c++` executables are set up, pointing to the `clang` and `clang++`
executables.
Disable this by setting the `cc` parameter to `0`.

| cygwin | *any* | ✓ | Install native binaries.
| | 1 | | Install Cygwin packages.
| cc | 1 | ✓ | Set up `cc`/`clang`/`c++`/`clang++` executables.
| | *any* | | Don't set up the executables.
| hardlinks | *any* | ✓ | Cygwin: don't convert any symlinks.
| | 1 | | Cygwin: convert symlinks in /usr/bin to hardlinks.

| Output | Example | Description
| ------- | --------- | -----------
| clang | clang-4.0 | `clang` binary name
| clangxx | clang++-7 | `clang++` binary name

Supported versions
------------------

Unless the `version` parameter value is "latest", the official LLVM repository
is used to make more versions available.
You can pass the version number as the `version` parameter value (`5.0`, `8`,
`9`, etc.), and this action will install the corresponding packages.

The `version` parameter value is not checked for being an available version for
the current distribution.
The supported versions for a particular distribution are those found in that
distro's repositories & those in the LLVM repository.
For example, you can find the list of available versions as of January 2023
below.

| `version` | Bionic | Focal | Jammy
| --------- | ------ | ----- | -----
| 3.9 | ✓ | |
| 4.0 | ✓ | |
| 5.0 | ✓ | |
| 6.0 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 7 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 8 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 9 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 10 | ✓ | ✓ |
| 11 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
| 12 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
| 13 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
| 14 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓
| 15 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓

This table should be updated periodically; it's a work-in-progress.

On Windows and Cygwin, the `version` parameter is ignored.
