< p > This is the second public release of the LLVM compiler infrastructure. This
2003-12-06 20:22:41 +00:00
release is primarily a bugfix release, dramatically improving the C/C++
front-end, and improving support for C++ in the LLVM core. This release also
2003-12-06 20:24:46 +00:00
includes a few new features, such as a simple profiler, support for Mac OS/X,
2003-12-12 04:45:09 +00:00
better interoperability with external source bases, a new example language
2003-12-12 19:54:20 +00:00
front-end, and improvements in a few optimizations.< / p >
2003-12-06 20:22:41 +00:00
2003-12-11 23:31:21 +00:00
< p > At this time, LLVM is known to correctly compile the C & C++ SPEC CPU2000
2003-12-12 19:54:20 +00:00
benchmarks with the C backend (X86 only), the Olden benchmarks, and the Ptrdist
benchmarks. It has also been used to compile
< b > many< / b > other programs. LLVM now also works with a broad variety of
2003-12-06 20:22:41 +00:00
C++ programs, though it has still received much less testing than the C
front-end.
< / p >
< p >
Note that the Sparc and X86 backends do not currently support exception throwing
or long jumping (including 253.perlbmk in SPEC). For these programs, you must
use the C backend. Support for unwinding will be added in a future release.

now explore the LLVM optimizer with the C backend and interpreter. Note that
LLVM requires GCC 3.3 on Mac OS/X.< / li >

into an 'llvm' C++ namespace< / a > , for easier integration with third-party
2003-12-12 04:25:33 +00:00
code. Note that due to lack of namespace support in GDB 5.x, you will probably
want to upgrade to GDB 6 or better to debug LLVM code.< / li >
2003-11-26 20:09:49 +00:00
< li >
The build system now copies Makefiles dynamically from the source tree to the
object tree as subdirectories are built. This means that:
< ol >
< li >
New directories can be added to the source tree, and the build will
automatically pick them up (i.e. no need to re-run < tt > configure< / tt > ).
< / li >

You will need to build LLVM from the top of the object tree once to ensure
that all of the Makefiles are copied into the object tree subdirectories.

< li > A front-end for "Stacker" (a simple Forth-like language) is now

Additionally, Reid Spencer, the author, contributed a document < a href = "Stacker.html" > describing his experiences writing Stacker, and the language itself< / a > . This document is invaluable for others writing front-ends targetting LLVM.< / li >
2003-12-11 23:31:21 +00:00

< tt > llvm/projects< / tt > directory.< / li >
2003-12-12 04:51:00 +00:00

to transform functions in many common cases that it could not before.< / li >

to be < a href = "http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR86" > significantly more

< li > LLVM 1.1 implements a simple size optimization for LLVM bytecode files.
This means that the 1.1 files are smaller than 1.0, but that 1.0 won't
read 1.1 bytecode files.< / li >

all functions pointed to by globals< / a > immediately, before the program
started execution, but now it waits until the first time they are called to
compile them. This dramatically speeds up short runs of large C++ programs,

< p > LLVM has been extensively tested on Intel and AMD machines running Red
2003-12-12 19:54:20 +00:00
Hat Linux and has been tested on Sun UltraSPARC workstations running Solaris 8.
Additionally,
2003-12-12 04:25:33 +00:00
LLVM works on Mac OS/X 10.3 and above, but only with the C backend or
interpreter (no native backend for the PowerPC is available yet).
2003-10-02 16:38:05 +00:00
The core LLVM infrastructure uses "autoconf" for portability, so hopefully we
2003-11-08 05:22:09 +00:00
work on more platforms than that. However, it is likely that we
missed something, and that minor porting is required to get LLVM to work on
2003-11-22 00:38:41 +00:00
new platforms. We welcome portability patches and error messages.< / p >

has not been tested as thoroughly as the C front-end. It has been tested and
works for a number of non-trivial programs, but there may be lurking bugs.
Please report any bugs or problems.< / p >

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).
