Antonio Vieiro commented on NETBEANS-5552: ------------------------------------------ A copy of the binary is available at OSUOSL here [http://netbeans.osuosl.org/binaries/0B135A2E7108FD8CDA9D21D0DC338FC4758A3EDD-clank_0.3.6.zip] > lib-clank unknown license > ------------------------- > > Key: NETBEANS-5552 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5552 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Antonio Vieiro > Priority: Major > > Clank: Java-port of C/C++ compiler frontend is a "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:" (quoting > [https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-03//2017/02/20/accepted-sessions.html#5] ). > The source code seems to be available here: > [https://github.com/java-port/clank] > But it has no clear license. This is used in module cnd/lib.clank but without > a clear license it seems this module cannot be used in Apache NetBeans. > Possible steps forward: > * Disable libs.clang and cnd.model.jclank.bridge, removing them from the cnd > cluster (unknown consequences) > * Contact authors and ask for permission for the code to be donated to the > Apache Software Foundation. Note that this is a very complex code that may > need a considerable amount of work. Also uses llvm3.9 which is probably very > old nowadays and should be upgraded. The clank zip file contains many > different .jar files. > * Understand what functionality is provided by this module and seek for > alternate implementations (clangd / libclang / others). > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
