Except its trained on all source out there, so I assume on GCC and clang. I wonder how similar the code is to either.

I'm familiar with both compilers. There's more similarity to LLVM, it even borrows some naming such as mem2reg (which doesn't really exist anymore) and GetElementPtr. But that's pretty much where things end. The rest of it is just common sense.
