Can anyone please let me know if there is any books / offline study
material / online study materials / documents / code examples for
usage of LLVM and CLANG?
Unfortunately all of my offline / online search is leading me to no
results. This I see as a bottleneck also for its usage.
I understand that CLANG is really very powerful compiler but I am
unable to explore its functionalities due to lack of knowledge /
expertise and guidance.
Please help and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prakash

The LLVM and Clang websites are the best place to find documentation.
LLVM documentation can be found online at http://llvm.org/docs. Clang has a user's manual at http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html and an internals manual at http://clang.llvm.org/docs/InternalsManual.html. If you're coding for LLVM and/or Clang, be sure to use the doxygen documentation to get information on C++ classes that you can use to manipulate the IR.
If you want code examples, there's the analysis passes in LLVM (e.g. llvm/lib/Analysis and llvm/lib/Transforms) as well as the code in the various sub-projects like Poolalloc and SAFECode. There are probably similar code examples in Clang.
If you just want to use Clang, remember that it's a drop-in replacement for GCC, so many of GCC's command-line options should work.
