ACAV uses and builds on several open-source technologies and project resources.

Core Technologies

• LLVM Project - compiler infrastructure.
• Clang - C/C++ compiler frontend and tooling libraries.
• Qt Framework - cross-platform GUI toolkit.

Testing Infrastructure

• LLVM Lit - LLVM Integrated Tester for integration tests.
• FileCheck - LLVM's pattern-matching file verifier.
• Catch2 - C++ unit-testing framework.

Related Resources

• Clang Libraries Companion by Michael Adams - examples and utilities for working with Clang libraries.
• Michael Adams' Packages - prebuilt LLVM/Clang packages that can support ACAV development and testing.
• String interning - a technique used in ACAV for efficient string storage and comparison.
