LLVM Clang Frontend and Backend Pipeline
Drawing preview
The scenario

A developer or student needs to visualize how Clang compiles C/C++ source into an executable through the LLVM pipeline, including error handling and backend stages.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use a flowchart to show sequential compiler stages with a decision for semantic errors.

02

Represent LLVM IR as a cylinder to distinguish the intermediate representation.

03

Include separate terminal states for successful compilation and error-stop.

Use when explaining LLVM/Clang architecture, debugging compilation errors, or teaching compiler frontend/backend flow.
