If you don't want to install the CLT, you can write appropriate configuration files pointing to your SDK at ~/.config/clang. To use the bundled libunwind please use the following LDFLAGS: LDFLAGS="-L$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/llvm@22/lib/unwind -lunwind" To use the bundled libc++ please use the following LDFLAGS: LDFLAGS="-L$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/llvm@22/lib/c++ -L$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/llvm@22/lib/unwind -lunwind" Features newer than system libc++ will require the following define to enable: CPPFLAGS="-D_LIBCPP_DISABLE_AVAILABILITY" NOTE: You probably want to use the libunwind and libc++ provided by macOS unless you know what you're doing. - Bottle: available on arm64_linux, arm64_sequoia, arm64_sonoma, arm64_tahoe, sonoma, x86_64_linux ## Freshness - Page generated: 2026-09-19 - Package-manager version: 22.1.8 - Package-manager updated: 2026-09-11 - Local data: ok - Upstream repository: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project - info: No cached GitHub release or tag data was available. ## Project history and usage LLVM 22 is a versioned distribution of the LLVM compiler and toolchain ecosystem. It packages LLVM libraries together with Clang, MLIR, binary utilities, analysis tools, language-server tooling, and numerous target-independent development utilities. ### Project history LLVM began as a University of Illinois research project aimed at an SSA-based compilation strategy supporting both static and dynamic compilation. It evolved into a collection of reusable compiler and toolchain technologies rather than a traditional virtual machine. The project expanded into an umbrella for LLVM Core, Clang, LLD, libc++, MLIR, and other subprojects. The formerly separate repositories were consolidated into the unified llvm-project Git repository, simplifying coordinated development and release management. ### Adoption history LLVM grew from an academic compiler-research project into an umbrella project used by commercial products, open-source systems, and research projects. Clang's adoption as a production C-family compiler and LLVM's reusable optimizer and code-generation libraries established the ecosystem as a major alternative to traditional monolithic compiler suites. Distribution packages and versioned formulas let developers install LLVM alongside system compilers without replacing them. The llvm@22 formula serves users who need the LLVM 22 toolchain generation after the unversioned formula advances. ### How it is used Developers use the package to compile C and C++ with Clang, transform or inspect LLVM IR, generate machine code, analyze source, format code, provide clangd editor integration, inspect binaries, gather coverage, and build compiler-related projects. Because Homebrew's LLVM is installed separately from Apple's system toolchain, builds commonly select it explicitly through PATH, CC/CXX, or CMake compiler settings. Individual llvm-* commands are also useful independently of Clang. ### Why package nerds care LLVM is unusually rich package-manager territory: a single installation supplies compilers, optimizers, assemblers, binary utilities, debuggability tools, language servers, static-analysis tools, coverage tools, and MLIR utilities. Versioned packages matter because compiler behavior, supported targets, ABI expectations, and build-system compatibility can change between major releases. LLVM also underpins many adjacent language runtimes and developer tools. Package maintainers routinely use its individual utilities as drop-in or cross-platform alternatives to GNU and platform-specific tools. ### Timeline - 2000: LLVM began as a research project at the University of Illinois. - 2003: LLVM's public project documentation and early releases established the reusable compiler-infrastructure project. - 2019: LLVM subprojects were consolidated into the unified llvm-project Git repository. - 2026: The llvm@22 formula preserves the LLVM 22 toolchain generation as an explicitly versioned installation. ### Related projects - Clang is LLVM's C-family compiler frontend. - LLD is the LLVM linker. - MLIR supplies reusable multi-level intermediate-representation infrastructure. - libc++ and compiler-rt provide runtime and standard-library components. - GNU Compiler Collection and GNU Binutils are common alternative or complementary toolchains. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for llvm@22.
