These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 3.5 release. You may

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
|
release 3.5. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
|
|
from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
|
|
some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
|
|
release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <http://llvm.org/>`_. If you
|
|
have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
|
|
<http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev>`_ is a good place to send
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
|
|
LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
|
|
one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
|
|
page <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

|
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
* All backends have been changed to use the MC asm printer and support for the
|
|
non MC one has been removed.
|
|
|
|
* The ARM back-end now has the EHABI exception handling enabled by default. Use
|
|
`-arm-disable-ehabi` to turn it off (both landing pads and unwind tables).
|
|
|
|
* Clang can now successfully self-host itself on Linux/Sparc64 and on
|
|
FreeBSD/Sparc64.
|
|
|
|
* LLVM now assumes the assembler supports ``.loc`` for generating debug line
|
|
numbers. The old support for printing the debug line info directly was only
|
|
used by ``llc`` and has been removed.
|
|
|
|
* All inline assembly is parsed by the integrated assembler when it is enabled.
|
|
Previously this was only the case for object-file output. It is now the case
|
|
for assembly output as well. The integrated assembler can be disabled with
|
|
the ``-no-integrated-as`` option,
|
|
|
|
* llvm-ar now handles IR files like regular object files. In particular, a
|
|
regular symbol table is created for symbols defined in IR files.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
|
|
this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
|
|
point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
|
|
functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
|
|
for adding a new subsection.
|
|
|
|
* ... next change ...
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
|
|
subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
|
|
and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).

Special New Feature
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Makes programs 10x faster by doing Special New Thing.
|
|
|
|
External Open Source Projects Using LLVM 3.5
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
An exciting aspect of LLVM is that it is used as an enabling technology for
|
|
a lot of other language and tools projects. This section lists some of the
|
|
projects that have already been updated to work with LLVM 3.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional Information
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
A wide variety of additional information is available on the `LLVM web page
|
|
<http://llvm.org/>`_, in particular in the `documentation
|
|
<http://llvm.org/docs/>`_ section. The web page also contains versions of the
|
|
API documentation which is up-to-date with the Subversion version of the source
|
|
code. You can access versions of these documents specific to this release by
|
|
going into the ``llvm/docs/`` directory in the LLVM tree.
