<p>In the LLVM 2.9 time-frame, the Clang team has made many improvements in C,
|
||||
C++ and Objective-C support. C++ support is now generally rock solid, has
|
||||
been exercised on a broad variety of code, and has several new C++'0x features
|
||||
implemented (such as rvalue references and variadic templates). LLVM 2.9 has
|
||||
also brought in a large range of bug fixes and minor features (e.g. __label__
|
||||
support), and is much more compatible with the Linux Kernel.</p>
|

<p>If Clang rejects your code that is built with another compiler, please take a

look at the <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html">language

<p>LLVM 2.9 includes several major new capabilities:</p>

<ul>
|

last release for llvm-gcc
|
||||
TBAA
|
||||
Triple::normalize is new, llvm triples are always stored in normalized form internally.
|
||||
|
||||
MC Assembler: X86 now generates much better diagnostics for common errors,
|
||||
is much faster at matching instructions, is much more bug-compatible with
|
||||
the GAS assembler, and is now generally useful for a broad range of X86
|
||||
assembly.
|
||||
|
||||
New Nvidia PTX backend, not generally useful in 2.9 though.
|
||||
|
||||
Much better debug info generated, particularly in optimized code situations.
|
||||
|
||||
ARM Fast ISel
|
||||
|
||||
ELF MC support
|
||||
|
||||
X86: Reimplemented all of MMX to introduce a new LLVM IR x86_mmx type. Now
|
||||
random types like <2 x i32> are not iseld to mmx without emms.
|
||||
|
||||
Some basic <a href="CodeGenerator.html#mc">internals documentation</a> for MC.
|
||||
|
||||
MC Assembler support for .file and .loc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
inline asm multiple alternative constraint support.
|
||||
|
||||
LoopIdiom: memset/memcpy formation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
X86 support for FS/GS relative loads and stores using address space 256/257 are
|
||||
reliable now.
|
||||
|
||||
ARM: New code placement pass.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PointerTracking has been removed from mainline, moved to ClamAV.
|
||||
|
||||
EarlyCSE pass.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ARM: Improved code generation for Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 CPUs.
|
||||
|
||||
Scheduler now models operand latency and pipeline forwarding.
|
||||
|
||||
Major regalloc rewrite, not on by default for 2.9.
|
||||
MC assembler support for 3dNow! and 3DNowA instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
LoopIndexSplit pass was removed, unmaintained.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COFF support in the MC assembler has made a lot of progress in the 2.9
|
||||
timeframe, but is still not generally useful. Please see
|
||||
"http://llvm.org/bugs/showdependencytree.cgi?id=9100&hide_resolved=1" for open bugs"?

|
||||
New <a href="WritingAnLLVMPass.html#RegionPass">RegionPass</a> infrastructure
|

for region-based optimizations.
|

|

MicroBlaze: major updates for aggressive delay slot filler, MC-based assembly
|

printing, assembly instruction parsing, ELF .o file emission, and MC
|
||||
instruction disassembler.
