About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 16 introduces improved C++20 support, new target architectures, and enhanced sanitizers. It provides a robust foundation for building frontends and backends for various programming languages.
Key Features:
  • Modular compiler infrastructure
  • Rich intermediate representation (LLVM IR)
  • Advanced optimization passes
  • Cross-platform code generation
Use Cases:
  • Building custom programming language compilers
  • Performing static code analysis
  • Optimizing application performance
  • Developing new hardware backends
Alternatives:
  • gcc – GCC is a mature alternative, while LLVM offers a more modular architecture and better libraries for tool development.
