.. warning::
If you are using a released version of LLVM, see `the download page
<https://llvm.org/releases/>`_ to find your documentation.
The LLVM compiler infrastructure supports a wide range of projects, from
industrial strength compilers to specialized JIT applications to small
research projects.
Similarly, documentation is broken down into several high-level groupings
targeted at different audiences:
