Description

Creduce is a cool C/C++ source reducer that is useful for compiler developers. It can also reduce other languages (e.g., Rust and SQL).

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

Compiled

Is the requested package released?

Yes

[wbohrer]

According to its install guide, creduce requires LLVM9, which we don't package. In fact, we don't package any version below 17. I tried to compile it with a recent LLVM anyway and it fails. Additionally, the latest version was tagged in 2019.

[Gornak40]

I have compiled it using LLVM19, applying several small patches to the clang_delta/ folder.

[Gornak40]

Oh, I was able to build the master branch only. Unfortunately, 2019 release lacks some important commits for LLVM18 compatibility.

Until a new release supports a compiler included with Void Linux, this is not suitable for packaging.
