This persistent code representation allows a common set of sophisticated compiler techniques to be applied at compile-time, link-time, install-time, run-time, or "idle-time" (between program runs). </span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">The strengths of the </span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">LLVM</span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> infrastructure are its extremely simple design (which makes it easy to understand and use), source-language independence, powerful mid-level optimizer, automated compiler debugging support, extensibility, and its stability and reliability. </span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">LLVM</span><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> is currently being used to host a wide variety of academic research projects and commercial projects.</span></div>
