IRILL - Research and Innovation on Free Software ** o What is LLVM?
**
LLVM is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. It is used as the base of many modern compilers including clang (C/C++/Objective-C), GHC (Haskell), dragonegg (Ada, Fortran, ...),
many commercial OpenCL compilers, RenderScript and many more. Industry, open source community and researchers work on or with LLVM for many reasons. The most cited ones are the modern code base, the liberal BSD like license and the modularity. All making it easy to use LLVM.
LLVM in the context of this social means everything related to LLVM. This includes the core LLVM, but also projects developed in the context of LLVM. These are e.g. vmkit developed at IRILL, Polly developed at ENS, but also lldb (the LLVM debugger), libc++ (a C++ standard library) or in general projects only interested in using LLVM.
o What is a Social?
It is a casual meeting to get to know people working on LLVM or interested to learn about LLVM. There is no fixed schedule and no specific topic. We just meet to have a some drinks to get to know each other. To attend, no previous knowledge about LLVM is required.

Many people attending speak both languages. It will be easy for you to
communicate in your preferred language.
**o Do I need to register?

You can just pass by, but it would be nice if you drop us a line at llvm-social-paris@grosser.es, such that we can reserve some tables.
