compile-llvm-action

A GitHub Action for downloading and installing LLVM and Clang binaries.

The binaries will be added to the relevant environment variables for the platform after installation (e.g., PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and/or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH). Caching is supported using the actions/cache@v2 action as shown in an example below.

This can be a specific version such as 3.6.2 or a minimum version like 3.6 or just 3. When specifying a minimum version, the highest compatible version supported by the platform will be installed (e.g., 3.6.2 for 3.6 or 3.9.1 for 3).

directory

Required The directory to install LLVM and Clang binaries to.

cached

Whether the LLVM and Clang binaries were cached.

Outputs
