I search about LLVM, But so much info. I am confuce.
I have few question listed bellow.

1) LLVM support to make new language.
2) LLVM same as c++
3)make new language in gcc Vs LLVM
4) any good free LLVM ide for win7

thanx.

1. Yes.
2. LLVM is not a language. LLVM-IR is.
3. To attempt to implement a new language in GCC would be painful as the codebase is now.
4. As a framework, LLVM does not have its own IDE.

@TarikNeaj
I am not getting any help from your answer.
I need specific answer, may be site address.

I visit llvm.org there are source,prebuild and many download file.
I mean simple, where to start,
which package I download.
where to write my code.

[TarikNeaj]

Well, this is a c++ forum. and llvm is not even a language. So dont be very surprised if people cant help.

> 1) LLVM support to make new language.

Start with these tutorials:
http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/index.html
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-createcompilerllvm1/index.html
http://gnuu.org/2009/09/18/writing-your-own-toy-compiler/


> 2) LLVM same as c++

All of the LLVM tools and libraries are written in C++ with extensive use of the STL.

> 3) make new language in gcc Vs LLVM

So much easier with LLVM.

On Windows, consider building/using the LLVM infrastructure and tools with Cygwin
