About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 12 provides a robust infrastructure for creating new frontends for languages and backends for new architectures. It is widely used for static analysis, optimization, and code generation.
Key Features:
  • Modular compiler infrastructure
  • Intermediate Representation (LLVM IR)
  • Rich analysis and optimization passes
  • Supports multiple hardware architectures
Use Cases:
  • Building custom programming language compilers
  • Optimizing application performance
  • Static code analysis and security auditing
Alternatives:
  • GCC – GCC is a highly optimizing compiler suite, whereas LLVM emphasizes a modular library-based architecture for tool development.
