About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 14 provides a stable foundation for building compilers for new and existing programming languages. It serves as a robust backend for generating optimized machine code for various CPU architectures.
Key Features:
  • Modular and reusable compiler infrastructure
  • Optimization and code generation capabilities
  • Rich intermediate representation (LLVM IR)
  • Support for multiple target architectures
Use Cases:
  • Developing new programming languages
  • Optimizing existing compilers
  • Static analysis and tooling development
Alternatives:
  • gcc – GCC is a widely used, monolithic compiler suite, whereas LLVM emphasizes a library-based, modular architecture.
  • llvm@15 – Newer major version with updated features and ABI changes.
