Automatic bug finder and test-case reducer description and usage
information.
* :ref:`bitcode_format`
This describes the file format and encoding used for LLVM "bc" files.
* `System Library <SystemLibrary.html>`_
This document describes the LLVM System Library (<tt>lib/System</tt>) and
how to keep LLVM source code portable
* :ref:`lto`
This document describes the interface between LLVM intermodular optimizer
and the linker and its design
* `The LLVM gold plugin <GoldPlugin.html>`_
