zhijian 4f2cfbe531 [llvm-ar] Add object mode option -X for AIX
Summary:

1. Added a new option object mode -X for llvm-ar. In AIX OS , there is a object mode option -X for ar command.
please see the "-X mode" part of https://www.ibm.com/docs/ko/aix/7.1?topic=ar-command

Specifies the type of object file ar should examine. The mode must be one of the following:
32
Processes only 32-bit object files
64
Processes only 64-bit object files
32_64
Processes both 32-bit and 64-bit object files
any
Processes all of the supported object files.

The default is to process 32-bit object files (ignore 64-bit objects). The mode can also be set with the OBJECT_MODE environment variable. For example, OBJECT_MODE=64 causes ar to process any 64-bit objects and ignore 32-bit objects. The -X flag overrides the OBJECT_MODE variable.

2. Before adding the new option -X, the default behaviors of llvm-ar like -Xany, but after the adding the new option -X, the default behaviors of llvm-ar change to -X32 ,in order to let some test cases which has 32bit and 64bit object file in the same llvm-ar command, we need to add the "export OBJECT_MODE=any" into test case to change the default behaviors of llvm-ar's object mode.

LLVM Documentation
==================

LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.

If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-html
    $BROWSER <build-dir>/docs/html/index.html

The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `https://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.

Manpage Output
===============

Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-man
    man -l <build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1

The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.

Checking links
==============

The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:

    cd llvm/docs/
    sphinx-build -b linkcheck . _build/lintcheck/
    # report will be generated in _build/lintcheck/output.txt

Doxygen page Output
==============

Install doxygen <https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
    make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
    make doxygen-clang # for clang docs

It will generate html in

    <build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
    <build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
