Rename LLVM Security Group to LLVM Security Response Group. Take the opportunity to canonicalise security group and Security Group to LLVM Security Response Group. At the 2024-11-19 LLVM Security Group meeting [1] we discussed that in practice the LLVM Security Group was performing an incident response role, but it was not proactively adding additional testing, fuzzing and hardening. We do not want projects that use LLVM to see the LLVM Security Group as guaranteeing security for LLVM. We decided that it would be useful to rename the group to LLVM Security Response Group as that reflects the work that it is doing. There may be a case for a proactive security group with a different remit, but this is out of scope of this commit. [1] https://discourse.llvm.org/t/llvm-security-group-public-sync-ups/62735/32
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.
