 \section{Low Level Virtual Machine}
+\label{LLVM}
 The Low Level Virtual Machine project (LLVM, \cite{LLVM}, \cite{Lattner:MSThesis02})
 is a framework for compiler construction. It provides its own intermediate
 representation, the LLVM IR. This is a simple language that can be used to
-expres any program in a static single assignment (SSA) form that is easy to
-reason with and transform.

 Additionally, LLVM provides a host of libraries to work with this IR. There is

 parse and emit LLVM IR for all c-like languages (C, ObjC, C++).

+From the LLVM project, we use a number of parts. In section \ref{MontiumC}, we

+library functions and components are used in the frontend.
