 1 | # Rust's fork of LLVM
 2 | 
 3 | This repository is a Rust-specific fork of LLVM. This is used as a submodule in
 4 | the https://github.com/rust-lang/rust repository. The Rust repository is always
 5 | pinned to a branch of this repository, and the `master` branch of this
 6 | repository is not used.
 7 | 
 8 | Despite this being a "fork" it's more of just a place where we can easily tweak
 9 | the LLVM source for Rust's own build. All patches should by default go upstream
10 | first, and then we can cherry-pick them onto our branches if necessary.
11 | 
12 | To learn more about updating LLVM in the Rust compiler, consult the
13 | [documentation for doing so in
14 | `rustc-guide`](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/backend/updating-llvm.html)
