The 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.

Clang is an LLVM native C/C++/ObjC compiler, which aims to deliver 
amazingly fast compiles, extremely useful error and warning messages and to 
provide a platform for building great source level tools. The Clang Static 
Analyzer is a tool that automatically finds bugs in your code, and is a 
great example of the sort of tool that can be built using the Clang 
frontend as a library to parse C/C++ code.

This is an update to the latest upstream stable release, with some package 
and feature changes:

* Support for all targets has been enabled in LLVM and Clang.  As a 
consequence thereof, LLVM is built with shared individual libraries to 
avoid an unusally large single LLVM library.

* The Polly library is built together with LLVM, and support for 
optimizations enabled thereby is now available in LLVM and Clang commands.

* libunwind has been added as an alternative exception handler library, and 
is used by libc++abi, and linked by default when using compiler-rt.
