Versions:
LLVM MinGW (UCRT runtime) is a reproducible build recipe that produces a complete LLVM/Clang/LLD-based mingw-w64 toolchain for Windows development, currently offered in version 22.1.3-20260407 and distributed through twenty-five numbered releases. Published by Martin Storsjö, the package replaces the traditional GNU binutils layer with LLVM equivalents, enabling a single compiler installation to target i686, x86_64, armv7, and arm64 architectures without maintaining separate binaries for each platform. The adoption of the Universal C Runtime (UCRT) ensures full compatibility with contemporary Windows APIs while the Clang front-end generates code that can be debugged natively in Microsoft Visual Studio through PDB-format symbols. Developers working on security-hardened applications gain access to Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer instrumentation, and since LLVM 16 the toolchain supports Control Flow Guard via the -mguard=cf compile and link flags. These features make the suite particularly relevant for cross-platform projects that need to ship ARM64 Windows builds, continuous-integration pipelines that want one compiler for every architecture, and research environments that require advanced sanitizers normally associated with Linux toolchains. The distribution falls under the Development / C & C++ Compilers category and is updated regularly to track upstream LLVM improvements. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
