* not contain any unrelated changes
* be an isolated change. Independent changes should be submitted as separate patches as this makes reviewing easier.
.. _format patches:
Before sending a patch for review, please also try to ensure it is
formatted properly. We use ``clang-format`` for this, which has git integration
through the ``git-clang-format`` script. On some systems, it may already be
installed (or be installable via your package manager). If so, you can simply
run it -- the following command will format only the code changed in the most
recent commit:
.. code-block:: console
% git clang-format HEAD~1
Note that this modifies the files, but doesn't commit them -- you'll likely want
to run
.. code-block:: console
% git commit --amend -a
in order to update the last commit with all pending changes.
.. note::
If you don't already have ``clang-format`` or ``git clang-format`` installed
on your system, the ``clang-format`` binary will be built alongside clang, and
the git integration can be run from
``clang/tools/clang-format/git-clang-format``.
To get a patch accepted, it has to be reviewed by the LLVM community. This can
be done using `LLVM's Phabricator`_ or the llvm-commits mailing list.
