The LLVM 2.6 distribution currently consists of code from the core LLVM
|
|
repository —which roughly includes the LLVM optimizers, code generators
|
|
and supporting tools — and the llvm-gcc repository. In addition to this
|
|
code, the LLVM Project includes other sub-projects that are in development. The
|
|
two which are the most actively developed are the <a href="#clang">Clang
|
|
Project</a> and the <a href="#vmkit">VMKit Project</a>.

|
<p>The <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">Clang project</a> is an effort to build
|
|
a set of new 'LLVM native' front-end technologies for the C family of languages.
|
|
LLVM 2.6 is the first release to officially include Clang, and it provides a
|
|
production quality C and Objective-C compiler. If you are interested in fast
|
|
compiles and good diagnostics, we encourage you to try it out.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to supporting these languages, C++ support is also <a
|
|
href="http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html">well under way</a>, and mainline
|
|
Clang is able to parse the libstdc++ 4.2 headers and even codegen simple apps.
|
|
If you are interested in Clang C++ support or any other Clang feature, we
|

strongly encourage you to get involved on the <a

|
|
list</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the LLVM 2.6 time-frame, the Clang team has made many improvements:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>C and Objective-C support are now considered production quality.</li>
|
|
<li>AuroraUX / FreeBSD & OpenBSD Toolchain support.</li>
|
|
<li>Most of Objective-C 2.0 is now supported with the GNU runtime.</li>
|
|
<li>Many many bugs are fixed and many features have been added.</li>

<p>In the LLVM 2.6 time-frame there have been many significant improvements to

The new LLVM <a href="http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/">compiler-rt project</a>

target-specific hooks required by code generation and other runtime components.

For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target, converting a double to a 64-bit

unsigned integer is compiling into a runtime call to the "__fixunsdfdi"
|

function. The compiler-rt library provides optimized implementations of this and

other low-level routines.</p>

handling, debug info, inline assembly, etc.</li>
|
|
<li>Targets can now specify register allocation hints through
|
|
MachineRegisterInfo:: setRegAllocationHint. A regalloc hint consists 1) hint
|
|
type, 2) physical register number. A hint type of zero specifies a register
|
|
allocation preference. Other hint type values are target specific which are
|
|
resolved by TargetRegisterInfo::ResolveRegAllocHint. An example of which is
|
|
the ARM target can uses register hint to request that the register allocator
|
|
provide an even / odd register pair to two virtual registers. It is
|
|
important to note the register allocation hints are just hints. There is no
|
|
guarantee the register allocators will be able to satisfy the hints.</li>

<a name="changes">Major Changes and Removed Features</a>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="doc_text">
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're already an LLVM user or developer with out-of-tree changes based
|
|
on LLVM 2.5, this section lists some "gotchas" that you may run into upgrading
|
|
from the previous release.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>The Itanium (IA64) backend has been removed. It was not supported and
|
|
bitrotted.</li>
|
|
<li>The BigBlock register allocator has been removed, it also bitrotted.</li>
|
|
<li>The C Backend (-march=c) is no longer considered part of the LLVM release
|
|
criteria. We still want it to work, but no one is maintaining it and it lacks
|
|
support for arbitrary precision integers and other important IR features.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
LLVM build now builds all libraries as .a files instead of some
|
|
libraries as relinked .o files. This requires some APIs like
|
|
InitializeAllTargets.h. TargetRegistry!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition, many APIs have changed in this release. Some of the major LLVM
|
|
API changes are:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
API Cleanup:
|
|
no use of hash_set/hash_map, no more llvm::OStream
|
|
Use raw_ostream for everything, killed off llvm/Streams.h and DOUT
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>LLVM's global uniquing tables for <tt>Type</tt>s and <tt>Constant</tt>s have
|
|
been privatized into members of an <tt>LLVMContext</tt>. A number of APIs
|
|
now take an <tt>LLVMContext</tt> as a parameter. To smooth the transition
|
|
for clients that will only ever use a single context, the new
|
|
<tt>getGlobalContext()</tt> API can be used to access a default global
|
|
context which can be passed in any and all cases where a context is
|
|
required.
|
|
<li>The <tt>getABITypeSize</tt> methods are now called <tt>getAllocSize</tt>.</li>
|
|
<li>The <tt>Add</tt>, <tt>Sub</tt>, and <tt>Mul</tt> operators are no longer
|
|
overloaded for floating-point types. Floating-point addition, subtraction,
|
|
and multiplication are now represented with new operators <tt>FAdd</tt>,
|
|
<tt>FSub</tt>, and <tt>FMul</tt>. In the <tt>IRBuilder</tt> API,
|
|
<tt>CreateAdd</tt>, <tt>CreateSub</tt>, <tt>CreateMul</tt>, and
|
|
<tt>CreateNeg</tt> should only be used for integer arithmetic now;
|
|
<tt>CreateFAdd</tt>, <tt>CreateFSub</tt>, <tt>CreateFMul</tt>, and
|
|
<tt>CreateFNeg</tt> should now be used for floating-point arithmetic.</li>
|
|
<li>The DynamicLibrary class can no longer be constructed, its functionality has
|
|
moved to static member functions.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>raw_fd_ostream</tt>'s constructor for opening a given filename now
|
|
takes an extra <tt>Force</tt> argument. If <tt>Force</tt> is set to
|
|
<tt>false</tt>, an error will be reported if a file with the given name
|
|
already exists. If <tt>Force</tt> is set to <tt>true</tt>, the file will
|
|
be silently truncated (which is the behavior before this flag was
|
|
added).</li>
|
|
<li><tt>SCEVHandle</tt> no longer exists, because reference counting is no
|
|
longer done for <tt>SCEV*</tt> objects, instead <tt>const SCEV*</tt> should be
|
|
used.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Many APIs, notably <tt>llvm::Value</tt>, now use the <tt>StringRef</tt>
|
|
and <tt>Twine</tt> classes instead of passing <tt>const char*</tt>
|
|
or <tt>std::string</tt>, as described in
|
|
the <a href="ProgrammersManual.html#string_apis">Programmer's Manual</a>. Most
|
|
clients should be unaffected by this transition, unless they are used to <tt>Value::getName()</tt> returning a string. Here are some tips on updating to 2.6:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>getNameStr()</tt> is still available, and matches the old
|
|
behavior. Replacing <tt>getName()</tt> calls with this is an safe option,
|
|
although more efficient alternatives are now possible.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you were just relying on <tt>getName()</tt> being able to be sent to
|
|
a <tt>std::ostream</tt>, consider migrating
|
|
to <tt>llvm::raw_ostream</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you were using <tt>getName().c_str()</tt> to get a <tt>const
|
|
char*</tt> pointer to the name, you can use <tt>getName().data()</tt>.
|
|
Note that this string (as before), may not be the entire name if the
|
|
name containts embedded null characters.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If you were using operator plus on the result of <tt>getName()</tt> and
|
|
treating the result as an <tt>std::string</tt>, you can either
|
|
uses <tt>Twine::str</tt> to get the result as an <tt>std::string</tt>, or
|
|
could move to a <tt>Twine</tt> based design.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>isName()</tt> should be replaced with comparison
|
|
against <tt>getName()</tt> (this is now efficient).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The registration interfaces for backend Targets has changed (what was
|
|
previously TargetMachineRegistry). For backend authors, see the <a href="WritingAnLLVMBackend.html#TargetRegistration">Writing An LLVM Backend</a> guide. For clients, the notable API changes are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>TargetMachineRegistry</tt> has been renamed
|
|
to <tt>TargetRegistry</tt>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Clients should move to using the <tt>TargetRegistry::lookupTarget()</tt>
|
|
function to find targets.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>llvm-dis now fails if output file exists, instead of dumping to stdout.
|
|
FIXME: describe any other tool changes due to the raw_fd_ostream change. FIXME:
|
|
This is not an API change, maybe there should be a tool changes section?</li>
|
|
<li>temporarely due to Context API change passes should call doInitialization()
|
|
method of the pass they inherit from, otherwise Context is NULL.
|
|
FIXME: remove this entry when this is no longer needed.<li>

The llvm-gcc 4.2 Ada compiler works fairly well; however, this is not a mature
|
|
technology, and problems should be expected.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The Ada front-end currently only builds on X86-32. This is mainly due
|
|
to lack of trampoline support (pointers to nested functions) on other platforms.
|
|
However, it <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2006">also fails to build on X86-64</a>
|
|
which does support trampolines.</li>
|
|
<li>The Ada front-end <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2007">fails to bootstrap</a>.
|
|
This is due to lack of LLVM support for <tt>setjmp</tt>/<tt>longjmp</tt> style
|
|
exception handling, which is used internally by the compiler.
|
|
Workaround: configure with --disable-bootstrap.</li>
|
|
<li>The c380004, <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2010">c393010</a>
|
|
and <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2421">cxg2021</a> ACATS tests fail
|
|
(c380004 also fails with gcc-4.2 mainline).
|
|
If the compiler is built with checks disabled then <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2010">c393010</a>
|
|
causes the compiler to go into an infinite loop, using up all system memory.</li>
|
|
<li>Some GCC specific Ada tests continue to crash the compiler.</li>
|
|
<li>The -E binder option (exception backtraces)
|
|
<a href="http://llvm.org/PR1982">does not work</a> and will result in programs
|
|
crashing if an exception is raised. Workaround: do not use -E.</li>
|
|
<li>Only discrete types <a href="http://llvm.org/PR1981">are allowed to start
|
|
or finish at a non-byte offset</a> in a record. Workaround: do not pack records
|
|
or use representation clauses that result in a field of a non-discrete type
|
|
starting or finishing in the middle of a byte.</li>
|
|
<li>The <tt>lli</tt> interpreter <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2009">considers
|
|
'main' as generated by the Ada binder to be invalid</a>.
|
|
Workaround: hand edit the file to use pointers for <tt>argv</tt> and
|
|
<tt>envp</tt> rather than integers.</li>
|
|
<li>The <tt>-fstack-check</tt> option <a href="http://llvm.org/PR2008">is
|
|
ignored</a>.</li>

<p>The Llvm.Linkage module is broken, and has incorrect values. Only
|
|
Llvm.Linkage.External, Llvm.Linkage.Available_externally, and
|
|
Llvm.Linkage.Link_once will be correct. If you need any of the other linkage

modes, you'll have to write an external C library in order to expose the

functionality. This has been fixed in the trunk.</p>
