The LLVM with Clang/GCC for Eclipse CDT plug-in integrates an LLVM toolchain using the Clang or llvm-gcc compiler with the CDT managed build system to compile C/(cpp} programs.

LLVM is a modern toolchain that supports the compilation of C/(cpp} code (among others) to LLVM virtual machine’s bitcode, which in turn can be compiled to each platform’s native binary.

The plug-in integrates the following tools from the LLVM toolchain: Clang/Clang++/llvm-gcc/llvm-g++ (C/(cpp} compilers), llvm-ld (linker), llvm-ar (archiver), llvm-as (assembler), llc (static compiler) and lli (JIT/Interpreter).
