This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments. The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM. Other components include: the libc++ C++…

Topics and intended use
No topics were included in the latest source metadata.
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
