LLVM Insights | Sumble

What is LLVM?

LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. It's used to develop compilers, optimizers, and code generators for a wide variety of programming languages and target architectures. LLVM provides a low-level virtual instruction set (LLVM IR) that serves as an intermediate representation for compiler frontends and backends, enabling language-independent optimization and code generation.
