Summary: llvm/Config/config.h pollutes user namespace
Product: libraries
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: Target Description Classes

The LLVM headers llvm-c/Target.h and llvm/Target/TargetSelect.h include
the header llvm/Config/config.h, which defines common macros, such as
PACKAGE_BUGREPORT. If a project that uses LLVM includes any of these
headers, the project's own macros of the same names can be redefined.
Most advice I have seen says that installed headers should never define
such common macros. Thus, an internal config.h should never be installed:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-09/msg00151.html
Would you please consider replacing the current llvm/Config/config.h with
a trimmed down version that contains only the definitions that must be
present in LLVM's installed headers? PACKAGE_* macros certainly do not
need to be there.
