* Replace "we" with either "you" (when talking to the reader) or "lldb" (when talking about the project). * Refer to lldb as lldb not LLDB, to match what the user sees on the command line (I am going to come back later and put the proper name in places where it's talking about the projects themselves) * Remove a bunch of contractions for example "won't". Which don't (pun intended) seem like a big deal at first but even I as a native English speaker find the text clearer with them expanded. * Use RST's plain text highlighting for keywords and command names. * Split some very long lines for easier editing in future.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
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.
