   The name LLVM originally stood for Low Level Virtual Machine, though the project has expanded and the name is no longer officially an initialism. LLVM is written in C++ and is designed for compile-time, link-time, runtime, and "idle-time" optimization.

   Nov 1, 2012 · LLVM is not a virtual machine. It's a compiler infrastructure. "Despite its name, LLVM has little to do with traditional virtual machines, though it does provide helpful libraries that can be used to build them." llvm.org. Well, for one you could have gone to the widely available documentation explaining what LLVM actually is.

   Despite its name, LLVM is not a traditional virtual machine. It acts as a middle layer, designed to take intermediate representation (IR) code from a compiler and transform it into optimized machine code for a target platform.

   Mar 19, 2024 · As we saw above, LLVM stands for “low-level virtual machines”. And here we have another key to LLVM: it doesn’t generate code adapted to a particular microprocessor, but rather intermediate code, close to machine language but independent of a given computing unit.

   LLVM is a library with a collection of reusable compiler toolchain technologies. We use these tools to develop the compiler front-end for any programming language and back-end for any target machine architecture.

   What is LLVM (low level virtual machine)?

   • 3. xiongyingfei.github.io/SA/2015/4%20LLVM%20-%20GaoQing.pdf LLVM (used to mean "Low Level Virtual Machine" but not anymore) is a compiler infrastructure, written in C++, which is designed for compile-time, link-time, run-time, and "idle-time" optimization of programs written in arbitrary programming languages.

   How does LLVM work?

   • LLVM can accept the IR from the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) toolchain, allowing it to be used with a wide array of extant compiler front-ends written for that project. LLVM can also be built with gcc after version 7.5. LLVM can also generate relocatable machine code at compile-time or link-time or even binary machine code at runtime.

   What does LLVM stand for?

   • @smallB: I didn't downvote, but I guess the question is too much about reading the LLVM's FAQ. It's neither of those things. LLVM used to stand for 'low level virtual machine' but that never meant a complete virtual machine in the sense of Java or .NET, and 'LLVM' has since stopped being an abbreviation. A central part of LLVM is LLVM IR.

   Can LLVM be used as a compiler?

   • LLVM can be used as a compiler framework, where you provide the "front-end" (parser and lexer) and the "back-end" (code that converts LLVM's representation to actual machine code). LLVM can also act as a JIT compiler – it has support for x86/x86_64 and PPC/PPC64 assembly generation with fast code optimizations aimed for compilation speed.

   What is LLVM machine code?

   • The LLVM machine code (MC) subproject is LLVM's framework for translating machine instructions between textual forms and machine code. Formerly, LLVM relied on the system assembler, or one provided by a toolchain, to translate assembly into machine code.

   LLVM is a virtual machine infrastructure that doesn’t provide any of the high-level features you’d find in something like the Java or .NET virtual machines, including garbage collection and an object model. The basic design of LLVM is an unlimited register machine (URM), familiar to most computer scientists as a universal model of computation.
