About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 13 provides a stable foundation for building compilers for various programming languages. It serves as a robust backend for optimizing and generating machine code across multiple hardware architectures.
Key Features:
  • Modular compiler infrastructure
  • Intermediate Representation (LLVM IR)
  • Cross-platform code generation
  • Rich analysis and optimization passes
Use Cases:
  • Developing new programming languages
  • Optimizing existing software performance
  • Static analysis and code verification
Alternatives:
  • GCC – GCC is a highly optimizing compiler suite, while LLVM offers a more modular library-based architecture.
  • Clang – Clang is the official C/C++/Objective-C frontend that utilizes the LLVM backend.
