Package request: llvm/clang 17/18/19

[LDprg]

There are all tools available below llvm 17. However llvm 17 is partially and 18/19 completely missing. Those would be very useful for modern c++23 development.

Even fedora will upgraded to llvm 18 soon.

Add a 👍 reaction to issues you find important.

#296284 is already underway for 18, not sure what you mean by 17 is "partially missing"

@eclairevoyant There are no llvm Packages for llvm 17 only the clang-tools.

[eclairevoyant]

No? #258614 was merged months ago.

@eclairevoyant oh I see, I was confused because I cant find them on nix search. I did not notice that the they are not named llvmPackages_17 (they are named only llvmPackages).

Maybe the latest version should have also a package with version name, so it can be locked (which is not possible at the moment).

Indeed, that also already exists: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e1ad98971a8b3994be8b90c27a7f0790cb5da51c/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix#L16536

Oh nice. Sorry for wasting your time.
