+=======================
+External Clang Examples
+=======================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This page provides some examples of the kinds of things that people have
+done with Clang that might serve as useful guides (or starting points) from
+which to develop your own tools. They may be helpful even for something as
+banal (but necessary) as how to set up your build to integrate Clang.
+
+Clang's library-based design is deliberately aimed at facilitating use by
+external projects, and we are always interested in improving Clang to
+better serve our external users. Some typical categories of applications
+where Clang is used are:
+
+- Static analysis.
+- Documentation/cross-reference generation.
+
+If you know of (or wrote!) a tool or project using Clang, please send an
+email to Clang's `development discussion mailing list
+<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev>`_ to have it added.
+(or if you are already a Clang contributor, feel free to directly commit
+additions). Since the primary purpose of this page is to provide examples
+that can help developers, generally they must have code available.
+
+List of projects and tools
+==========================
+
+`<https://github.com/etaoins/qconnectlint>`_
+ "qconnectlint is a Clang tool for statically verifying the consistency
+ of signal and slot connections made with Qt's ``QObject::connect``."
+
+`<https://github.com/woboq/woboq_codebrowser>`_
+ "The Woboq Code Browser is a web-based code browser for C/C++ projects.
+ Check out `<http://code.woboq.org/>`_ for an example!"
+
+`<https://github.com/mozilla/dxr>`_
+ "DXR is a source code cross-reference tool that uses static analysis
+ data collected by instrumented compilers."
+
+`<https://github.com/eschulte/clang-mutate>`_
+ "This tool performs a number of operations on C-language source files."
+
+`<https://github.com/gmarpons/Crisp>`_
+ "A coding rule validation add-on for LLVM/clang. Crisp rules are written
+ in Prolog. A high-level declarative DSL to easily write new rules is under
+ development. It will be called CRISP, an acronym for *Coding Rules in
+ Sugared Prolog*."
+
+`<https://github.com/drothlis/clang-ctags>`_
+ "Generate tag file for C++ source code."
+
+`<https://github.com/exclipy/clang_indexer>`_

+
+`<https://github.com/axw/cmonster>`_
+ "cmonster is a Python wrapper for the Clang C++ parser."
+
+`<https://github.com/rizsotto/Constantine>`_
+ "Constantine is a toy project to learn how to write clang plugin.
+ Implements pseudo const analysis. Generates warnings about variables,
+ which were declared without const qualifier."
+
+`<https://github.com/jessevdk/cldoc>`_
+ "cldoc is a Clang based documentation generator for C and C++.
+ cldoc tries to solve the issue of writing C/C++ software documentation
+ with a modern, non-intrusive and robust approach."
