Clang is a subproject of the llvm project, but has its own mailing lists because the communities have people with different interests. The low level virtual machine llvm core libraries provide a modern source and targetindependent optimizer, along with code generation support for many popular cpus as well as some less common ones. For example, in our tests the c version of the android jpeg library performs 10% faster on snapdragonbased devices when built with the snapdragon llvm compiler compared to the latest. It is also a feature that beautifully combines two respective strengths of the rust programming language and the llvm compiler platform. See the complete profile on linkedin and discover sanjoy s.
