< p > This is the eleventh public release of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure.
2007-05-09 05:27:05 +00:00
Being the first major release since 1.0, this release is different in several
ways from our previous releases:< / p >
< ol >
< li > We took this as an opportunity to
2007-05-09 04:58:11 +00:00
break backwards compatibility with the LLVM 1.x bytecode and .ll file format.
If you have LLVM 1.9 .ll files that you would like to upgrade to LLVM 2.x, we
2007-05-12 02:36:41 +00:00
recommend the use of the stand alone < a href = "#llvm-upgrade" > llvm-upgrade< / a >
2007-05-17 19:58:57 +00:00
tool (which is included with 2.0). We intend to keep compatibility with .ll
and .bc formats within the 2.x release series, like we did within the 1.x
series.< / li >
2007-05-09 05:27:05 +00:00
< li > There are several significant change to the LLVM IR and internal APIs, such
as a major overhaul of the type system, the completely new bitcode file
format, etc.< / li >
< li > We designed the release around a 6 month release cycle instead of the usual
3-month cycle. This gave us extra time to develop and test some of the
more invasive features in this release.< / li >
< li > LLVM 2.0 no longer supports the llvm-gcc3 front-end.< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Note that while this is a major version bump, this release has been
extensively tested on a wide range of software. It is easy to say that this
is our best release yet, in terms of both features and correctness.< / p >

< li > llvm-gcc3 is now officially unsupported. Users are required to
upgrade to llvm-gcc4. llvm-gcc4 includes many features over
llvm-gcc3, is faster, and is much easier to build.< / li >
< li > Integer types are now completely signless. This means that we
have types like i8/i16/i32 instead of ubyte/sbyte/short/ushort/int
etc. LLVM operations that depend on sign have been split up into
separate instructions (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR950" > PR950< / a > ).< / li >
< li > Arbitrary bitwidth integers (e.g. i13, i36, i42, etc) are now
supported in the LLVM IR and optimizations. However, neither llvm-gcc nor
the native code generators support non-standard width integers
(< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR1043" > PR1043< / a > ).< / li >
< li > 'type planes' have been removed (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR411" > PR411< / a > ).
It is no longer possible to have two values with the same name in the
same symbol table. This simplifies LLVM internals, allowing significant
speedups.< / li >
< li > Global variables and functions in .ll files are now prefixed with
@ instead of % (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR645" > PR645< / a > ).< / li >
< li > The LLVM 1.x "bytecode" format has been replaced with a
completely new binary representation, named 'bitcode'. Because we
plan to maintain binary compatibility between LLVM 2.x ".bc" files,
this is an important change to get right. Bitcode brings a number of
advantages to the LLVM over the old bytecode format. It is denser
(files are smaller), more extensible, requires less memory to read,
is easier to keep backwards compatible (so LLVM 2.5 will read 2.0 .bc
files), and has many other nice features.< / li >
< li > Support was added for alignment values on load and store
instructions (< a href = "http://www.llvm.org/PR400" > PR400< / a > ). This
allows the IR to express loads that are not
sufficiently aligned (e.g. due to pragma packed) or to capture extra
alignment information. < / li >
< li > LLVM now has a new MSIL backend. llc - march=msil will now turn LLVM
into MSIL (".net") bytecode. This is still fairly early development
with a number of limitations.< / li >
< li > Support has been added for 'protected visibility' in ELF.< / li >
< li > Thread Local Storage with the __thread keyword was implemented along
with added codegen support for Linux on X86 and ARM.< / li >
< li > ELF symbol aliases supported has been added.< / li >
< li > Added support for 'polymorphic intrinsics', allowing things like
llvm.ctpop to work on arbitrary width integers.< / li >

< div class = "doc_text" >
< p > New features include:
< / p >
< ul >
2007-05-16 23:25:46 +00:00
< li > Precompiled Headers (PCH) support has been implemented.< / li >
< li > Support for external weak linkage and hidden visibility has been added.< / li >
< li > Packed structure types are now supported , which allows LLVM to express
unaligned data more naturally.< / li >
< li > Inline assembly support has been improved and many bugs were fixed.
The two large missing features are support for 80-bit floating point stack
registers on X86 (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR879" > PR879< / a > ), and support for inline asm in the C backend (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR802" > PR802< / a > ).< / li >
< li > Ada support, such as nested functions, has been improved.< / li >
< li > Tracking function parameter/result attributes is now possible.< / li >
< li > Its is now easier to configure llvm-gcc for linux.< / li >
< li > Many enhancements have been added, such as improvements to NON_LVALUE_EXPR,
arrays with non-zero base, structs with variable sized fields,
VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR, CEIL_DIV_EXPR, and many other things.< / li >
< li > Improved "attribute packed" support in the CFE, and handle many
other obscure struct layout cases correctly.< / li >

< li > The pass manager has been entirely rewritten, making it significantly
smaller, simpler, and more extensible. Support has been added to run
FunctionPasses interlaced with CallGraphSCCPasses.< / li >
< li > The -scalarrepl pass can now promote unions containing FP values into
a register, it can also handle unions of vectors of the same size.< / li >
< li > The predicate simplifier pass has been improved, making it able to do
simple value range propagation and eliminate more conditionals.< / li >
< li > There is a new new LoopPass class. The passmanager has been
modified to support it, and all existing loop xforms have been
converted to use it. < / li >
< li > There is a new loop rotation pass, which converts "for loops" into
"do/while loops", where the condition is at the bottom of the loop.< / li >
< li > ModulePasses may now use the result of FunctionPasses.< / li >
< li > The [Post]DominatorSet classes have been removed from LLVM and clients switched to use the far-more-efficient ETForest class instead. < / li >
< li > The ImmediateDominator class has also been removed, and clients have been switched to use DominatorTree instead.< / li >

< li > Support for Zero-cost DWARF exception handling has been added. It is mostly
complete and just in need of continued bug fixes and optimizations at
this point.< / li >
< li > Progress has been made on a direct Mach-o .o file writer. Many small
apps work, but it is not quite complete yet.< / li >
< li > Support was added for software floating point routines.< / li >
< li > DWARF debug information generation has been improved. LLVM now passes
most of the GDB testsuite on MacOS and debug info is more dense.< / li >
< li > A new register scavenger has been implemented, which is useful for
finding free registers after register allocation. This is useful when
rewriting frame references on RISC targets, for example.< / li >
< li > Heuristics have been added to avoid coalescing vregs with very large live
ranges to physregs.< / li >
< li > Support now exists for very simple (but still very useful)
rematerialization the register allocator, enough to move
instructions like "load immediate" and constant pool loads.< / li >
< li > Significantly improved 'switch' lowering, improving codegen for
sparse switches that have dense subregions, and implemented support
for the shift/and trick.< / li >
< li > The code generator now has more accurate and general hooks for
describing addressing modes ("isLegalAddressingMode") to
optimizations like loop strength reduction and code sinking.< / li >
< li > The Loop Strength Reduction pass has been improved, and support added
for sinking expressions across blocks to reduce register pressure.< / li >
< li > Added support for tracking physreg sub-registers and super-registers
in the code generator, as well as extensive register
allocator changes to track them.< / li >
< li > There is initial support for virtreg sub-registers
(< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR1350" > PR1350< / a > ).< / li >
2006-11-18 07:51:14 +00:00

< p > In addition, the LLVM target description format has itself been extended in
several ways:< / p >
< ul >
2007-05-16 23:25:46 +00:00
< li > Extended TargetData to support better target parameterization in
the .ll/.bc files, eliminating the 'pointersize/endianness' attributes
in the files (< a href = "http://llvm.org/PR761" > PR761< / a > ).< / li >
< li > TargetData was generalized for finer grained alignment handling,
handling of vector alignment, and handling of preferred alignment< / li >
< li > LLVM now supports describing target calling conventions
explicitly in .td files, reducing the amount of C++ code that needs
to be written for a port.< / li >

< div class = "doc_text" >
< p > LLVM 2.0 contains a revamp of the type system and several other significant
internal changes. If you are programming to the C++ API, be aware of the
following major changes:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Pass registration is slightly different in LLVM 2.0 (you now needs an
intptr_t in your constructor), as explained in the < a
href="WritingAnLLVMPass.html#basiccode">Writing an LLVM Pass< / a >
document.< / li >
< li > < tt > ConstantBool< / tt > , < tt > ConstantIntegral< / tt > and < tt > ConstantInt< / tt >
classes have been merged together, we now just have
< tt > ConstantInt< / tt > .< / li >
< li > < tt > Type::IntTy< / tt > , < tt > Type::UIntTy< / tt > , < tt > Type::SByteTy< / tt > , ... are
replaced by < tt > Type::Int8Ty< / tt > , < tt > Type::Int16Ty< / tt > , etc. LLVM types
have always corresponded to fixed size types
(e.g. long was always 64-bits), but the type system no longer includes
information about the sign of the type.< / li >
< li > Several classes (< tt > CallInst< / tt > , < tt > GetElementPtrInst< / tt > ,
< tt > ConstantArray< / tt > , etc), that once took < tt > std::vector< / tt > as
arguments now take ranges instead. For example, you can create a
< tt > GetElementPtrInst< / tt > with code like:
< pre >
Value *Ops[] = { Op1, Op2, Op3 };
GEP = new GetElementPtrInst(BasePtr, Ops, 3);
< / pre >
This avoids creation of a temporary vector (and a call to malloc/free). If
you have an std::vector, use code like this:
< pre >
std::vector< Value*> Ops = ...;
GEP = new GetElementPtrInst(BasePtr, & Ops[0], Ops.size());
< / pre >
< / li >
< li > CastInst is now abstract and its functionality is split into several parts,
one for each of the < a href = "LangRef.html#convertops" > new cast
instructions< / a > .< / li >
< li > < tt > Instruction::getNext()/getPrev()< / tt > are now private (along with
< tt > BasicBlock::getNext< / tt > , etc), for efficiency reasons (they are now no
longer just simple pointers). Please use BasicBlock::iterator, etc instead.
< / li >
< li > < tt > Module::getNamedFunction()< / tt > is now called
< tt > Module::getFunction()< / tt > .< / li >
< li > < tt > SymbolTable.h< / tt > has been split into < tt > ValueSymbolTable.h< / tt > and
< tt > TypeSymbolTable.h< / tt > .< / li >

< li > The LLVM C++ front-end follows the < a

This document, which is not Itanium specific, specifies a standard for name
mangling, class layout, v-table layout, RTTI formats, and other C++
representation issues. Because we use this API, code generated by the LLVM
compilers should be binary compatible with machine code generated by other
Itanium ABI C++ compilers (such as G++, the Intel and HP compilers, etc).
