What is the LLVM project?
By Penelope Carter
What is the LLVM project?
The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. Despite its name, LLVM has little to do with traditional virtual machines. The name “LLVM” itself is not an acronym; it is the full name of the project.
What does LLVM-mctoll do?
This tool statically (AOT) translates (or raises) binaries to LLVM IR. Llvm-mctoll is capable of raising X86-64 and Arm32 Linux/ELF libraries and executables to LLVM IR. Raising Windows, OS X and C++ binaries needs to be added. At this time X86-64 support is more mature than Arm32.
What is LLVM machine code (MC)?
The LLVM Machine Code (aka MC) sub-project of LLVM was created to solve a number of problems in the realm of assembly, disassembly, object file format handling, and a number of other related areas that CPU instruction-set level tools work in.
How to raise x86-64 and ARM32 binaries in LLVM?
Support for raising X86-64 and Arm32 binaries is enabled by building LLVM’s X86 and ARM targets. The tool is not built unless one of the X86 or ARM LLVM targets are built. On Linux and OS X build from a command prompt such as a bash shell.

What is the LLD project?
The LLD project is a new linker. That is a drop-in replacement for system linkers and runs much faster. In addition to official subprojects of LLVM, there are a broad variety of other projects that use components of LLVM for various tasks.
