Clang: Much More than Just a C/C++ Compiler - Tilmann Scheller, Samsung Electronics

With the Clang C/C++ frontend built on top of LLVM, Linux developers get a powerful optimizing compiler.
While compiling source code is the core task of Clang, it can also be used for much more than just compiling code: the built-in static analyzer detects bugs at compile time, clang-format allows for automatic source code formatting, clang-tidy enables heavier checks which go beyond traditional compiler warnings, the AddressSanitizer/MemorySanitizer tools help to detect memory corruption bugs early and with LibFuzzer there is an integrated solution for fuzz testing as well.
Various Clang-based source code navigators allow for accurate browsing through even the most complex C++ codebases, where traditional tools like Ctags are struggling heavily.
This talk will introduce the various different tools available as part of Clang and highlight the benefits they provide to Linux developers.
