* Note up front that the author may not have permissions to use the merge button and should ask a reviewer to do those steps. * Make it clear that a single commit PR can be landed with a single button click. * There are in fact 3 ways to land a multi-commit PR. * Order the ways in increasing amount of overhead for the PR author. * Put them in bullet point sections so they are visually separate. * Add a note that force pushes can be problematic when the PR has multiple authors, but don't go too much into how to solve that, Git's docs are better here anyway.
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.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
