About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 15 provides a stable foundation for building compilers for various programming languages and targeting multiple hardware architectures. It serves as a critical backend for major compilers like Clang and Swift.
Key Features:
  • Modular and reusable compiler infrastructure
  • Rich intermediate representation (LLVM IR)
  • Supports multiple frontends and backends
  • Advanced optimization passes
Use Cases:
  • Developing new programming languages
  • Building custom compiler toolchains
  • Performing static and dynamic program analysis
Alternatives:
  • GCC – GCC is a highly optimizing compiler suite, while LLVM emphasizes a library-based, modular architecture.
