Quick question since I'm new here and haven't really found anything on the topic yet:

Does LDC compile source code directly to LLVM IR to machine code, or are there other intermediate representations involved? I saw that LDC gives the options to output both MLIR and Assembly, but I haven't seen it mentioned otherwise.

Yes, from the DMD AST directly to LLVM IR, and then further to whatever desired output format (LLVM IR, assembly, object files, …) in-process using the standard LLVM tools.
