    <para>
      The <application>LLVM</application> package contains a collection of
      modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. The Low Level
      Virtual Machine (LLVM) Core libraries provide a modern source and
      target-independent optimizer, along with code generation support for many
      popular CPUs (as well as some less common ones!). These libraries are
      built around a well specified code representation known as the LLVM
      intermediate representation ("LLVM IR").
    </para>

    <para>
      The optional <application>Clang</application> and <application>Compiler
      RT</application> packages provide a new C, C++, Objective C and Objective
      C++ front-ends and runtime libraries for the
      <application>LLVM</application>.
