About:
LDC is a portable compiler for the D programming language, utilizing LLVM as its backend to generate efficient native code. It serves as the reference compiler for D, offering full language compatibility and enabling high-performance application development across multiple platforms.
Key Features:
  • LLVM backend for high-performance code generation
  • Cross-platform compilation support
  • Full D language specification compliance
  • Integration with the DUB package manager
Use Cases:
  • Developing high-performance system applications
  • Cross-platform native software development
  • Compiling D code for embedded and mobile systems
Alternatives:
  • dmd – DMD is the reference compiler with faster compile times, while LDC produces more optimized binaries via LLVM
  • gdc – GCC-based D compiler, part of the GNU toolchain, alternative to LLVM-based LDC
