This change makes test with RUN lines like RUN: opt ... | FileCheck fail if opt fails, even if it prints what FileCheck wants. Enabling this found some interesting cases of broken tests that were not being noticed because opt (or some other tool) was crashing late. Pipefail is used when the shell supports it or when using the internal python based tester. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@187261 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM 3.4 release. You may

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
|
release 3.4. 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
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
.. 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.
|
|
|
|
* The regression tests now fail if any command in a pipe fails. To disable it in
|
|
a directory, just add ``config.pipefail = False`` to its ``lit.local.cfg``.
|
|
See :doc:`Lit <CommandGuide/lit>` for the details.
|
|
|
|
* Support for exception handling has been removed from the old JIT. Use MCJIT
|
|
if you need EH support.
|
|
|
|
* The R600 backend is not marked experimental anymore and is built by default.
|
|
|
|
* APFloat::isNormal() was renamed to APFloat::isFiniteNonZero() and
|
|
APFloat::isIEEENormal() was renamed to APFloat::isNormal(). This ensures that
|
|
APFloat::isNormal() conforms to IEEE-754R-2008.
|
|
|
|
* The library call simplification pass has been removed. Its functionality
|
|
has been integrated into the instruction combiner and function attribute
|
|
marking passes.
|
|
|
|
* Support for building using Visual Studio 2008 has been dropped. Use VS 2010
|
|
or later instead. For more information, see the `Getting Started using Visual
|
|
Studio <GettingStartedVS.html>`_ page.
|
|
|
|
* ... 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).

|
|
|
|

|
External Open Source Projects Using LLVM 3.4
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
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 3.4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
