The lli tool is LLVM's official LLVM IR interpreter / JIT compiler launcher. It provides a CLI interface to execute .bc (bitcode) or .ll (IR) files directly, without needing to compile them to native binaries. Due to its presence in official Visual Studio and LLVM toolchains, it can already be present and trusted in many developer based environments, enabling low-friction trusted interpreter payload execution.

Internally, lli supports multiple execution engines, including:

  • Interpreter (pure IR execution)
  • MCJIT (legacy JIT compiler)
  • ORCJIT / ORC Lazy JIT (modern modular JIT framework)
