Objective C++ front-end for the <a href="http://www.llvm.org/">LLVM</a>
compiler.</p>
<h2>Why?</h2>
<h2>Features/Goals</h2>
<p>Some of the goals for the project include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Real-world, production quality compiler.</li>
<li>A single unified parser for C, Objective C, C++, and Objective
C++.</li>
<li>Language conformance with these languages and their variants, like
C90, C99, etc.</li>
<li>GCC compatibility: support GCC extensions, but allow them to be
disabled.</li>
<li><a href="features.html#performance">High performance and low memory
use</a>.</li>
<li>Build a library-based architecture with finely crafted APIs, allowing
the code to be reused in many ways.</li>
<li>Support many clients such as refactoring, static analysis, as well as
code generation.</li>
<li>Design for integration with IDEs as well as code generation with the
<a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM Optimizer and Code Generator</a>.</li>
<li><a href="features.html#expressivediags">Expressive diagnostics</a>:
warnings and errors that are actually helpful and make sense.</li>
<li>Use the LLVM <a
href="http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/LICENSE.TXT">'BSD'
License</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course this is only a rough outline of the goals and features of
Clang. To get a true sense of what the new LLVM front-end is all about,
as well as why you might want to considering using it, see the <a
href="features.html">Features</a> section.</p>
<h2>Why?</h2>
