Based on https://github.com/jensl/llvm-project-20170507/tree/wip/jumbo-support/v1
(Unity building here called "jumbo" because it is called that in the context of the Chromium project.)
This adds an example plugin named
JumboSupportthat adds a pragma namedjumbo, which signals that the main source file is a jumbo compilation unit that will include other source files. After each include into the main source file, the contents of all anonymous namespace declarations in the included source file are hidden, so that the anonymous namespace remains local to source files. It also undefines all macros defined in the included source file.Some (intentionally) minimal changes to clang is implemented to make it possible to implement this functionality in the plugin.
