|
| +To build Dart for Mac and Linux, we pull Fuchsia's buildtools, which is also
|
| +used by Flutter. Fuchsia's buildtools includes gn, ninja, and the clang
|
| +toolchain. Fuchsia buildtools vends clang-format as part of the clang toolchain.
|
| +Since Fuchsia's buildtools doesn't vend a clang toolchain for Windows, we can't
|
| +get a Windows clang-format binary from it. Therefore, from Chromium's buildtools
|
| +here:
|
| +
|
| +https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/buildtools
|
| +
|
| +we copy the hash file for its Windows clang-format binary, and pull it down
|
| +from google storage in the update.py script in this directory.
|
| +
|
| +To update to a newer Windows clang-format binary, simply overwrite the hash in
|
| +clang-format.exe.sha1 with a newer one, and then do a 'gclient sync'.
