About:
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Version 18 provides the latest optimizations, language frontends, and hardware backends for building high-performance software.
Key Features:
  • Modular compiler architecture
  • Advanced optimization passes
  • Multiple language frontends (C/C++, Swift, etc.)
  • Cross-platform code generation
Use Cases:
  • Compiling high-performance applications
  • Building custom programming languages
  • Static analysis and tooling development
Alternatives:
  • gcc – GNU Compiler Collection, monolithic design vs LLVM's modular approach
  • llvm@17 – Previous stable version, may lack latest features and optimizations
