GitHub Action: LLVM Embedded Toolchain for ARM

CI

This GitHub Action (compatible with Linux, Windows, and macOS platforms) downloads, checks, sets up, and caches the LLVM Embbedded Toolchain for Arm.

Usage

Simplest way to use this action is with the default options, which uses the the latest LLVM Embbedded Toolchain for Arm release:

steps:
- uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
- run: clang --version

You can also specify a version (a list can be found in the Available releases section):

steps:
- name: Install LLVM Embedded Toolchain for Arm
  uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
  with:
    release: '15.0.2' # <-- The compiler release to use

More information can be found in the Advanced Options section.

Available releases

  • latest <-- Always points to the latest release
  • 17.0.1 (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • 16.0.0 (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • 15.0.2 (Windows, Linux)
  • 14.0.0 (Windows, Linux)
  • 13.0.0 (Windows, Linux)

Advanced options

You can use a "job matrix" to build/test your project with multiple versions of LLVM:

jobs:
  build:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        llvm: ['13', 'latest']
    steps:
      - name: Install LLVM Embedded Toolchain for Arm - ${{ matrix.llvm }}
        uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
        with:
          release: ${{ matrix.llvm }}
      - run: clang --version

If you need to pass the clang path to a different action or step the path output exports it:

- name: To access a step output, you need to provide an `id`
  uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
  id: llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action
- name: The `path` to the toolchain executables can then be obtained as an output
  run: echo "The output path is ${{ steps.llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action.outputs.path }}"

The path can also be added to an environmental variable if it's specified as an input:

- name: To create an environmental variable with the toolchain path provide a name via the `path-env-var` input
  uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
  with:
    path-env-var: LLVM_ARM_PATH
- name: The path will be exported to that environmental variable name
  run: echo "The output path is $LLVM_ARM_PATH"

For access to the entire toolchain path, you can use the toolchain output.

- name: To access a step output, you need to provide an `id`
  uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
  id: llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action
- name: The `toolchain` path can then be obtained as an output
  run: echo "The output path is ${{ steps.llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action.outputs.toolchain }}"

The toolchain can also be added to an environmental variable if it's specified as an input:

- name: To create an environmental variable with the toolchain path provide a name via the `toolchain-env-var` input
  uses: stellar-aria/llvm-embedded-toolchain-for-arm-action@latest
  with:
    toolchain-env-var: LLVM_ARM_TOOLCHAIN
- name: The path will be exported to that environmental variable name
  run: echo "The output path is $LLVM_ARM_TOOLCHAIN"
