This document contains the release notes for the LLVM compiler infrastructure,
release 1.1. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including any known problems,
and bug fixes from the previous release. The most up-to-date version of this
document can be found on the <a
href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/1.1/">LLVM 1.1 web site</a>. If you are
not reading this on the LLVM web pages, you should probably go there, because
this document may be updated after the release.<p>
For more information about LLVM, including information about potentially more
current releases, please check out the <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu">main
web site</a>. If you have questions or comments, the <a
href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">LLVM developer's mailing
list</a> is a good place to send them.<p>
Note that if you are reading this file from CVS, that this document applies to
the <i>next</i> release, not the previous one. To see the release notes for the
previous release, see the <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/releases/">releases

<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
This is the second public release of the LLVM compiler infrastructure. This
release implements the following new features:<p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2003-November/000528.html">A new LLVM profiler, similar to gprof</a> is available</li>
<li>temp</li>
<li>temp</li>
</ol><p>
In this release, the following Quality of Implementation issues were fixed:<p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR29">C++ front-end is not generating linkonce linkage type when it can</a></li>
</ol><p>
In this release, the following bugs in the previous release were fixed:<p>

<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR87">llvm-gcc infinite loops on "case MAXINT:"</a></li>
</ol><p>
At this time, LLVM is known to work properly with SPEC CPU 2000, the Olden
benchmarks, and the Ptrdist benchmarks among many other programs. Note however
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.<p>

<!-- *********************************************************************** -->
LLVM has only been extensively tested on Intel and AMD machines running Red
Hat Linux, and Sun UltraSPARC workstations running Solaris 8.
The core LLVM infrastructure uses "autoconf" for portability, so hopefully we
work on more platforms than that. However, it is extremely likely that we
missed something. We welcome portability patches and error messages.<p>

<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="core"><hr size=0>Known problems with the LLVM Core</h4><ul>
<li>In the JIT, <tt>dlsym</tt> on a symbol compiled by the JIT will not work.<p>
<li>The JIT does not use mutexes to protect its internal data structures. As
such, execution of a threaded program could cause these data structures to
be corrupted.<p>
<li>It is not possible to <tt>dlopen</tt> an LLVM bytecode file in the JIT.<p>
<li>Linking in static archive files (.a files) is very slow (there is no symbol
table in the archive).<p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR88">Interpreter does not support invoke
or unwind</a>.<p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR82">LLVM cannot handle structures with
more than 256 elements</a>.<p>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="c-fe"><hr size=0>Known problems with the C front-end</h4><ul>
</ul><b>Bugs:</b><ul><p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR6">Oversized integer bitfields cause crash</a>.<p>
<li>C99 Variable sized arrays do not release stack memory when they go out of
scope. Thus, the following program may run out of stack space:
<pre>
for (i = 0; i != 1000000; ++i) {
int X[n];
foo(X);
}
</pre><p>
</ul><b>Notes:</b><ul><p>
<li>Inline assembly is not yet supported.<p>
<li>"long double" is transformed by the front-end into "double". There is no
support for floating point data types of any size other than 32 and 64 bits.
<p>
<li>The following Unix system functionality has not been tested and may not work:
<ol>
<li><tt>sigsetjmp</tt>, <tt>siglongjmp</tt> - These are not turned into the
appropriate <tt>invoke</tt>/<tt>unwind</tt> instructions. Note that
<tt>setjmp</tt> and <tt>longjmp</tt> <em>are</em> compiled correctly.
<li><tt>getcontext</tt>, <tt>setcontext</tt>, <tt>makecontext</tt>
- These functions have not been tested.
</ol><p>
<li>Although many GCC extensions are supported, some are not. In particular,
the following extensions are known to <b>not be</b> supported:
<ol>
<li><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Local-Labels.html#Local%20Labels">Local Labels</a>: Labels local to a block.
<li><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html#Labels%20as%20Values">Labels as Values</a>: Getting pointers to labels, and computed gotos.

</ol><p>
The following GCC extensions are <b>partially</b> supported. An ignored
attribute means that the LLVM compiler ignores the presence of the attribute,
but the code should still work. An unsupported attribute is one which is
ignored by the LLVM compiler, which will cause a different interpretation of
the program.<p>

<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="c++-fe"><hr size=0>Known problems with the C++ front-end</h4><ul>
For this release, the C++ front-end is considered to be fully functional but
of <b>beta</b> quality. It has been tested and works for a number of simple programs that collectively exercise most of the language. Nevertheless, it has not been in use as long as the C front-end. Please report any bugs or problems.<p>
</ul><b>Bugs</b>:<ul><p>
<li>The C++ front-end inherits all problems afflicting the <a href="#c-fe">C
front-end</a><p>
</ul><b>Notes</b>:<ul><p>
<li>The C++ front-end is based on a pre-release of the GCC 3.4 C++ parser. This
parser is significantly more standards compliant (and picky) than prior GCC
versions. For more information, see the C++ section of the <a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html">GCC 3.4 release notes</a>.<p>
<li>Destructors for local objects are not always run when a <tt>longjmp</tt> is
performed. In particular, destructors for objects in the <tt>longjmp</tt>ing
function and in the <tt>setjmp</tt> receiver function may not be run.
Objects in intervening stack frames will be destroyed however (which is
better than most compilers).<p>
<li>The LLVM C++ front-end follows the <a
href="http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi">Itanium C++ ABI</a>.
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).
<i>However</i>, the exception handling mechanism used by LLVM is very
different from the model used in the Itanium ABI, so <b>exceptions will not
interact correctly</b> .
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR11">Code for executing destructors when
unwinding is not shared</a> (this is a quality of implementation problem,
which does not effect functionality).<p>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="x86-be"><hr size=0>Known problems with the X86 back-end</h4><ul>
<li>The X86 code generator <a
href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR16">does not currently
support the <tt>unwind</tt> instruction</a>, so code that throws a C++ exception
or calls the C <tt>longjmp</tt> function will abort.<p>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="sparc-be"><hr size=0>Known problems with the Sparc back-end</h4><ul>
<li>The Sparc code generator <a
href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR15">does not currently
support the <tt>unwind</tt> instruction</a>, so code that throws a C++ exception
or calls the C <tt>longjmp</tt> function will abort.<p>
<!-- _______________________________________________________________________ -->
</ul><h4><a name="c-be"><hr size=0>Known problems with the C back-end</h4><ul>
<li>The C back-end produces code that violates the ANSI C Type-Based Alias
Analysis rules. As such, special options may be necessary to compile the code
(for example, GCC requires the <tt>-fno-strict-aliasing</tt> option). This
problem probably cannot be fixed.<p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR33">Initializers for global variables</a>
cannot include special floating point numbers like Not-A-Number or Infinity.<p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR56">Zero arg vararg functions are not
supported</a>. This should not affect LLVM produced by the C or C++
frontends.<p>
<li><a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR77">Variables in scope of output setjmp
calls should be volatile</a>. Note that this does not effect correctness on
many platforms.<p>
<li>The code produces by the C back-end has only been tested with the Sun CC,
GCC, and Intel compilers. It is possible that it will have to be adjusted to
support other C compilers.<p>
