Warning
If you are using a released version of LLVM, see the download page to find your documentation.
The LLVM compiler infrastructure supports a wide range of projects, from industrial strength compilers to specialized JIT applications to small research projects.
Similarly, documentation is broken down into several high-level groupings targeted at different audiences:
Design & Overview
Several introductory papers and presentations are available at :ref:`design_and_overview`.
Publications
The list of publications based on LLVM.
User Guides
Those new to the LLVM system should first vist the :ref:`userguides`.
NOTE: If you are a user who is only interested in using LLVM-based compilers, you should look into Clang or DragonEgg instead. The documentation here is intended for users who have a need to work with the intermediate LLVM representation.
API Clients
Developers of applications which use LLVM as a library should visit the :ref:`programming`.
Subsystems
API clients and LLVM developers may be interested in the :ref:`subsystems` documentation.
Development Process
Additional documentation on the LLVM project can be found at :ref:`development_process`.
Mailing Lists
For more information, consider consulting the LLVM :ref:`mailing_lists`.
