LDC
A portable D programming language compiler using LLVM for modern optimization and code generation.
What is LDC?
LDC is the LLVM-based D Compiler, a portable compiler for the D programming language that uses the official DMD frontend for language support and LLVM Core libraries for code generation. It provides modern optimization capabilities and supports the latest D2 language specification while being fully open-source.
D programmers who need a high-performance, cross-platform compiler with modern optimization features, particularly those working on projects requiring native code generation across multiple target architectures.
Developers choose LDC for its combination of full D language compatibility through the DMD frontend with LLVM's powerful optimization and code generation capabilities, offering better performance and portability than other D compiler options.
