I would make this configurable and include it in the S3 name so we can support the plugin for multiple clang versions

I'll take a look at that.

Hi. We were thinking about adding a nightly build of clad to godbolt.
I see that the build script already supports that #101.
I know, we will need to update similar to compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer#7109 with the trunk version.
However, I am unsure what/where changes are required to configure the CI for a nightly build. I am guessing we will need to add

nightly:
  if: nightly
  type: nightly
  targets:
    - trunk

to compiler-explorer/infra#1484 ?

We could also move clad to a separate compiler group with this.

Something like that yes: if you look at the clangs or similar you'll see how they do it.

We'd also need it to be added to our "daily builds" -> https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-workflows - I can help with either of these.

Hi. I have opened PRs at compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer#7311 and compiler-explorer/compiler-workflows#31 to add the nightly build of clad.
I am not sure about the changes required in https://github.com/compiler-explorer/infra.

First run: https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-workflows/actions/runs/12993976934

Changes in infra; just adding a "nightly" equivalent build (see one of the other nightly compilers). I can help if you can't make any sense of the setup (it's not well documented)
