LLVM is a library that has collection of modular/reusable compiler and toolchain components (assemblers, compilers, and debuggers). With these components LLVM can be used as a compiler framework, providing a front-end(parser and lexer) and a back-end (code that converts LLVM's representation ...
The main motivation for a new optimizer framework was the desire to have more aggressive optimizations, such as ones that take advantage of more compile-time information and modern compiler developments. The design of some of the older optimization passes made it difficult to implement more advanced...
dynamically loaded when required. The program binary files handled by VMAD are previously processed at compile time to include all necessary data, instrumentation instructions and callbacks to the runtime system. For this purpose, the LLVM compiler has been extended...
EPOXY [129] is an LLVM-based embedded compiler that protects low-cost bare-metal systems with a new technique called privilege overlays. EPOXY adds a privilege overlay to enable privileges before instruction execution only when the operations are identified, thus separating the implementation of securi...
