Just wondering what the particular motivation for > that could be The idea is that it's a generally-consumable output format, and so could be interpreted by external software fairly trivially. The bitsream format is compact and good for things that will live entirely in the clang-doc tool, but is harder to deal with outside that scope. YAML bridges that gap. I haven't thought too much about splitting it up, but it might make sense, given that the one file could get very large. By file might work--let me play with it a bit to see what makes the most sense. https://reviews.llvm.org/D43667 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
