The documentation here is 34 intended for users who have a need to work with the intermediate LLVM 35 representation. 36 37 * **API Clients** 38 39 Developers of applications which use LLVM as a library should visit the 40 :ref:`programming`. 41 42 * **Subsystems** 43 44 API clients and LLVM developers may be interested in the 45 :ref:`subsystems` documentation. 46 47 * **Development Process** 48 49 Additional documentation on the LLVM project can be found at 50 :ref:`development_process`. 51 52 * **Mailing Lists** 53 54 For more information, consider consulting the LLVM :ref:`mailing_lists`. 55 56 .. toctree:: 57 :maxdepth: 2 58 59 design_and_overview 60 userguides 61 programming 62 subsystems 63 development_process 64 mailing_lists 65 66 Indices and tables 67 ================== 68 69 * :ref:`genindex` 70 * :ref:`search` 71
