[Clamav-devel] clamav-bytecode-compiler or how to rename signatures

Hello developers,

I have a main goal, namely to prefix third-party signatures as well as 
official ClamAV signatures so that the signature source is easily 
identifiable for each found virus.

1. Is there a documented and/or preferred way to do it? It seems easy to 
do so with some script for most database types, because they are 
line-based and human-readable. It is not trivial for bytecode 
signatures, though. Hence the second question:

2. Are there plans to make clamav-bytecode-compiler work with Clang/LLVM 
newer than 16? Debian Stable has versions 17-19, and version 17 turned 
out incompatible already.

Regards
