10 If you prefer to use a web user interface for code reviews, you can now submit
|
|
11 your patches for Clang and LLVM at `LLVM's Phabricator`_ instance.
|
|
12
|
|
13 While Phabricator is a useful tool for some, the relevant -commits mailing list
|
|
14 is the system of record for all LLVM code review. The mailing list should be
|
|
15 added as a subscriber on all reviews, and Phabricator users should be prepared
|
|
16 to respond to free-form comments in mail sent to the commits list.

93 Choosing reviewers: You typically pick one or two people as initial reviewers.
|
|
94 This choice is not crucial, because you are merely suggesting and not requiring
|
|
95 them to participate. Many people will see the email notification on cfe-commits
|
|
96 or llvm-commits, and if the subject line suggests the patch is something they
|
|
97 should look at, they will.

102 Finding potential reviewers
|
|
103 ---------------------------
|
|
104
|
100
|
105 Here are a couple of ways to pick the initial reviewer(s):
|
|
106
|
|
107 * Use ``svn blame`` and the commit log to find names of people who have
|
|
108 recently modified the same area of code that you are modifying.
|
|
109 * Look in CODE_OWNERS.TXT to see who might be responsible for that area.
|
|
110 * If you've discussed the change on a dev list, the people who participated
|
|
111 might be appropriate reviewers.
|
|
112
|
|
113 Even if you think the code owner is the busiest person in the world, it's still
|
|
114 okay to put them as a reviewer. Being the code owner means they have accepted
|
|
115 responsibility for making sure the review happens.

140 Committing a change
|
|
141 -------------------
|
|
142
|
100
|
143 Once a patch has been reviewed and approved on Phabricator it can then be
|
121
|
144 committed to trunk. If you do not have commit access, someone has to
|
|
145 commit the change for you (with attribution). It is sufficient to add
|
|
146 a comment to the approved review indicating you cannot commit the patch
|
|
147 yourself. If you have commit access, there are multiple workflows to commit the
|
|
148 change. Whichever method you follow it is recommended that your commit message
|
|
149 ends with the line:
|
77
|
150
|
|
151 ::
|
|
152
|
|
153 Differential Revision: <URL>
|
|
154
|
|
155 where ``<URL>`` is the URL for the code review, starting with
|
147
|
156 ``https://reviews.llvm.org/``.
|
77
|
157
|
100
|
158 This allows people reading the version history to see the review for
|
|
159 context. This also allows Phabricator to detect the commit, close the
|
|
160 review, and add a link from the review to the commit.
|
|
161
|
|
162 Note that if you use the Arcanist tool the ``Differential Revision`` line will
|
|
163 be added automatically. If you don't want to use Arcanist, you can add the
|
|
164 ``Differential Revision`` line (as the last line) to the commit message
|
|
165 yourself.
|
|
166
|
147
|
167 Using the Arcanist tool can simplify the process of committing reviewed code as
|
|
168 it will retrieve reviewers, the ``Differential Revision``, etc from the review
|
|
169 and place it in the commit message. You may also commit an accepted change
|
|
170 directly using ``git llvm push``, per the section in the :ref:`getting started
|
|
171 guide <commit_from_git>`.
|
100
|
172
|
|
173 Note that if you commit the change without using Arcanist and forget to add the
|
|
174 ``Differential Revision`` line to your commit message then it is recommended
|
|
175 that you close the review manually. In the web UI, under "Leap Into Action" put
|
|
176 the SVN revision number in the Comment, set the Action to "Close Revision" and
|
|
177 click Submit. Note the review must have been Accepted first.
|
|
178

|
180 Committing someone's change from Phabricator
|
|
181 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
100
|
182
|
|
183 On a clean Git repository on an up to date ``master`` branch run the
|
|
184 following (where ``<Revision>`` is the Phabricator review number):
|
|
185
|
|
186 ::
|
|
187
|
|
188 arc patch D<Revision>
|
|
189
|
|
190
|
|
191 This will create a new branch called ``arcpatch-D<Revision>`` based on the
|
|
192 current ``master`` and will create a commit corresponding to ``D<Revision>`` with a
|
|
193 commit message derived from information in the Phabricator review.
|
|
194
|
147
|
195 Check you are happy with the commit message and amend it if necessary. Then,
|
|
196 make sure the commit is up-to-date, and commit it. This can be done by running
|
|
197 the following:
|
100
|
198
|
|
199 ::
|
|
200
|
147
|
201 git pull --rebase origin master
|
|
202 git show # Ensure the patch looks correct.
|
|
203 ninja check-$whatever # Rerun the appropriate tests if needed.
|
|
204 git llvm push
|
|
205
|
|
206 Subversion and Arcanist (deprecated)
|
|
207 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
100
|
208
|
147
|
209 To download a change from Phabricator and commit it with subversion, you should
|
|
210 first make sure you have a clean working directory. Then run the following
|
|
211 (where ``<Revision>`` is the Phabricator review number):
|
100
|
212
|
147
|
213 ::
|
|
214
|
|
215 arc patch D<Revision>
|
|
216 arc commit --revision D<Revision>
|
|
217
|
|
218 The first command will take the latest version of the reviewed patch and apply
|
|
219 it to the working copy. The second command will commit this revision to trunk.
|
77
|
220
|
95
|
221 Abandoning a change
|
|
222 -------------------
|
|
223
|
|
224 If you decide you should not commit the patch, you should explicitly abandon
|
|
225 the review so that reviewers don't think it is still open. In the web UI,
|
|
226 scroll to the bottom of the page where normally you would enter an overall
|
|
227 comment. In the drop-down Action list, which defaults to "Comment," you should
|
|
228 select "Abandon Revision" and then enter a comment explaining why. Click the
|
|
229 Submit button to finish closing the review.

234 Please let us know whether you like it and what could be improved! We're still

238 really painful and hard because the Phabricator codebase is in PHP and not as
|
|
239 testable as you might like. However, we've put exactly what we're deploying up
|
|
240 on an `llvm-reviews GitHub project`_ where folks can hack on it and post pull
|
|
241 requests. We're looking into what the right long-term hosting for this is, but
|
|
242 note that it is a derivative of an existing open source project, and so not
|
|
243 trivially a good fit for an official LLVM project.
