About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. It provides a middle-end for building compilers, capable of optimizing code and generating machine code for various CPU architectures. Its primary value is serving as a robust foundation for creating new programming languages and specialized compilers.
Key Features:
  • Modular compiler infrastructure
  • Rich intermediate representation (LLVM IR)
  • Cross-platform code generation
  • Advanced optimization passes
Use Cases:
  • Developing new programming languages
  • Building domain-specific compilers
  • Program analysis and instrumentation
Alternatives:
  • GCC – GCC is a mature, monolithic compiler suite, whereas LLVM offers a more modular library-based approach.
