Remove the 6th bullet point "Strive to improve security over time, for example by adding additional testing, fuzzing and hardening after fixing issues." At the security group meeting on 2024-11-19 we discussed the role the security group was performing in practice. We are in effect acting as a security response group, dealing with issues raised via the process given in the LLVM Security group page. We are not proactively adding additional testing fuzzing and hardening. While this could be considered an aspirational goal, it may give the implication that the LLVM Security Group is handling or at worst guaranteeing security for the LLVM project when in practice it is not.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
