Abstract

--------

LLVM is huge, and it's getting bigger with each and every release. Building it together with a project that depends on it (e.g., a programming language) during a CI build stage is not a good option -- building LLVM alone takes hours!

So why not use pre-built packages from the official `LLVM download page `__? Unfortunately, the official Windows binaries only include the ``LLVM-C.dll``, Clang, and *some* tools -- there are no LLVM headers, C++ libraries, and many essential LLVM tools such as ``lli``.

The ``llvm-package-windows`` project builds all major versions of the LLVM and Clang libraries on **GitHub Actions** for the following matrix:

* Configuration:

	- Debug

	- Release

* Target CPU:

	- IA32 (a.k.a. x86)

	- AMD64 (a.k.a. x86_64)

* C/C++ Runtime:

	- LIBCMT (static)

	- MSVCRT (dynamic)

The resulting LLVM binary packages are uploaded as GitHub Release artifacts. Compiler developers can now thoroughly test their LLVM-dependent projects on GitHub CI or AppVeyor CI simply by downloading and unpacking an archive with the required LLVM prebuilt libraries and tools during the CI installation stage.

Sample

------

* `Jancy `__ uses ``llvm-package-windows`` for CI testing on a range of configurations and LLVM versions. See `build logs `__ for more details.
