LLVM is a framework that facilitates the creation of compilers, supports just-in-time compilation, and optimizes code for performance and memory efficiency. It also provides tools for static and dynamic code analysis, enhancing software reliability and security. Additionally, LLVM commands enable various functionalities such as executing programs, assembling code, and analyzing debug information.

APPLICATION OF LLVM:

1. LLVM helps create compilers, which are programs that translate code
written in programming languages like C++ or Rust into machine code that
computers can run. Clang is a well-known compiler built using LLVM.
2. Some programs need to generate and run code while they are running,
instead of before they start. LLVM supports this "just-in-time" compilation,
which is useful for web browsers running JavaScript or games using
dynamic scripts.

3. LLVM can optimize code to make it run faster and use less memory. This is
valuable for everything from mobile apps to high-performance computing
tasks.
4. Tools built with LLVM can analyze code to find mistakes and security issues
before the program is run (static analysis) or while it is running (dynamic
analysis). This helps developers write more reliable and secure software.
5. LLVM provides a common foundation for many different programming
languages. This makes it easier to support new languages and allows code
written in different languages to work together more smoothly.
