Also known as LLVM Project
LLVM is a set of compiler and toolchain technologies that can be used to develop a frontend for any programming language and a backend for any instruction set architecture. LLVM is designed around a language-independent intermediate representation (IR) that serves as a portable, high-level assembly language that can be optimized with a variety of transformations over multiple passes. The name LLVM originally stood for Low Level Virtual Machine. However, the project has since expanded, and the name is no longer an acronym but an orphan initialism.

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++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more. Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM. Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, LLVM Office Hours or Regular sync-ups. The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
LLVM (anteriormente Low Level Virtual Machine) é uma infraestrutura de compilador escrita em C++, desenvolvida para otimizar em tempos de compilação, ligação e execução de programas escritos em linguagens de programação variadas. Implementada originalmente para C e C++, sua arquitetura permitiu a expansão para outras linguagens posteriormente, incluindo Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Haskell, bytecode Java, Python, Ruby, ActionScript, GLSL, Julia, Kotlin entre outras. O projeto LLVM começou em 2000 na Universidade de Illinois em Urbana-Champaign sob direção de Vikram Adve e . Visava desenvolver uma infraestrutura de pesquisa para investigar técnicas de compilação dinâmica para linguagens estáticas e dinâmicas. A Apple Inc. contratou Lattner que formou um grupo de desenvolvedores no intuito de trabalhar no LLVM para sistemas próprios; atualmente, o LLVM é parte integral das ferramentas de desenvolvimento para macOS e iOS.
