This causes mangled names to change for - function templates in the following cases: - - - When a template parameter in a function template depends on a previous - template parameter, such as ``template<typename T, T V> void f()``. - - When the function has any constraints, whether from constrained template - parameters or requires-clauses. - - When the template parameter list includes a deduced type -- either - ``auto``, ``decltype(auto)``, or a deduced class template specialization - type. - - When a template template parameter is given a template template argument - that has a different template parameter list. - - This fixes a number of issues where valid programs would be rejected due to - mangling collisions, or would in some cases be silently miscompiled. Clang - will use the old manglings if ``-fclang-abi-compat=17`` or lower is - specified. - (`#48216 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/48216>`_), - (`#49884 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/49884>`_), and - (`#61273 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61273>`_) - -- The `ClassScopeFunctionSpecializationDecl` AST node has been removed. - Dependent class scope explicit function template specializations now use - `DependentFunctionTemplateSpecializationInfo` to store candidate primary - templates and explicit template arguments. This should not impact users of - Clang as a compiler, but it may break assumptions in Clang-based tools - iterating over the AST. - -- The warning `-Wenum-constexpr-conversion` is now also enabled by default on - system headers and macros. It will be turned into a hard (non-downgradable) - error in the next Clang release. - -- The flag `-fdelayed-template-parsing` won't be enabled by default with C++20 - when targetting MSVC to match the behavior of MSVC. - (`MSVC Docs <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/permissive-standards-conformance?view=msvc-170>`_) - -- Remove the hardcoded path to the imported modules for C++20 named modules.

ABI Changes in This Version --------------------------- -- Following the SystemV ABI for x86-64, ``__int128`` arguments will no longer - be split between a register and a stack slot. AST Dumping Potentially Breaking Changes ---------------------------------------- -- When dumping a sugared type, Clang will no longer print the desugared type if - its textual representation is the same as the sugared one. This applies to - both text dumps of the form ``'foo':'foo'`` which will now be dumped as just - ``'foo'``, and JSON dumps of the form: - - .. code-block:: json - - "type": { - "qualType": "foo", - "desugaredQualType": "foo" - } - - which will now be dumped as just: - - .. code-block:: json - - "type": { - "qualType": "foo" - } What's New in Clang |release|? ============================== @@ -183,682 +61,48 @@ C++ Language Changes C++20 Feature Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Implemented `P1907R1 <https://wg21.link/P1907R1>` which extends allowed non-type template argument - kinds with e.g. floating point values and pointers and references to subobjects. - This feature is still experimental. Accordingly, ``__cpp_nontype_template_args`` was not updated. - However, its support can be tested with ``__has_extension(cxx_generalized_nttp)``. C++23 Feature Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Implemented `P0847R7: Deducing this <https://wg21.link/P0847R7>`_. Some related core issues were also - implemented (`CWG2553 <https://wg21.link/CWG2553>`_, `CWG2554 <https://wg21.link/CWG2554>`_, - `CWG2653 <https://wg21.link/CWG2653>`_, `CWG2687 <https://wg21.link/CWG2687>`_). Because the - support for this feature is still experimental, the feature test macro ``__cpp_explicit_this_parameter`` - was not set in this version. - However, its support can be tested with ``__has_extension(cxx_explicit_this_parameter)``. - -- Added a separate warning to warn the use of attributes on lambdas as a C++23 extension - in previous language versions: ``-Wc++23-lambda-attributes``. C++2c Feature Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Implemented `P2169R4: A nice placeholder with no name <https://wg21.link/P2169R4>`_. This allows using ``_`` - as a variable name multiple times in the same scope and is supported in all C++ language modes as an extension. - An extension warning is produced when multiple variables are introduced by ``_`` in the same scope. - Unused warnings are no longer produced for variables named ``_``. - Currently, inspecting placeholders variables in a debugger when more than one are declared in the same scope - is not supported. - - .. code-block:: cpp - - struct S { - int _, _; // Was invalid, now OK - }; - void func() { - int _, _; // Was invalid, now OK - } - void other() { - int _; // Previously diagnosed under -Wunused, no longer diagnosed - } - -- Attributes now expect unevaluated strings in attributes parameters that are string literals. - This is applied to both C++ standard attributes, and other attributes supported by Clang. - This completes the implementation of `P2361R6 Unevaluated Strings <https://wg21.link/P2361R6>`_ - -- Implemented `P2864R2 Remove Deprecated Arithmetic Conversion on Enumerations From C++26 <https://wg21.link/P2864R2>`_. - -- Implemented `P2361R6 Template parameter initialization <https://wg21.link/P2308R1>`_. - This change is applied as a DR in all language modes. - - Resolutions to C++ Defect Reports ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Implemented `CWG2137 <https://wg21.link/CWG2137>`_ which allows - list-initialization from objects of the same type. -- Implemented `CWG2311 <https://wg21.link/CWG2311>`_: given a prvalue ``e`` of object type - ``T``, ``T{e}`` will try to resolve an initializer list constructor and will use it if successful (CWG2137). - Otherwise, if there is no initializer list constructor, the copy will be elided as if it was ``T(e)``. - -- Implemented `CWG2598 <https://wg21.link/CWG2598>`_ and `CWG2096 <https://wg21.link/CWG2096>`_, - making unions (that have either no members or at least one literal member) literal types. - (`#77924: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/77924>`_). - C Language Changes ------------------ -- ``structs``, ``unions``, and ``arrays`` that are const may now be used as - constant expressions. This change is more consistent with the behavior of - GCC. -- Enums will now be represented in TBAA metadata using their actual underlying - integer type. Previously they were treated as chars, which meant they could - alias with all other types. -- Clang now supports the C-only attribute ``counted_by``. When applied to a - struct's flexible array member, it points to the struct field that holds the - number of elements in the flexible array member. This information can improve - the results of the array bound sanitizer and the - ``__builtin_dynamic_object_size`` builtin. C23 Feature Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Clang now accepts ``-std=c23`` and ``-std=gnu23`` as language standard modes, - and the ``__STDC_VERSION__`` macro now expands to ``202311L`` instead of its - previous placeholder value. Clang continues to accept ``-std=c2x`` and - ``-std=gnu2x`` as aliases for C23 and GNU C23, respectively. -- Clang now supports `requires c23` for module maps. -- Clang now supports ``N3007 Type inference for object definitions``. - -- Clang now supports ``<stdckdint.h>`` which defines several macros for performing - checked integer arithmetic. It is also exposed in pre-C23 modes. - -- Completed the implementation of - `N2508 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2508.pdf>`_. We - previously implemented allowing a label at the end of a compound statement, - and now we've implemented allowing a label to be followed by a declaration - instead of a statement. -- Implemented - `N2940 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2940.pdf>`_ which - removes support for trigraphs in C23 and later. In earlier language modes, - trigraphs remain enabled by default in conforming modes (e.g. ``-std=c17``) - and disabled by default in GNU and Microsoft modes (e.g., ``-std=gnu17`` or - ``-fms-compatibility``). If needed, you can enable trigraphs by passing - ``-ftrigraphs``. Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release ------------------------------------------------- -* Clang now has a ``__builtin_vectorelements()`` function that determines the number of elements in a vector. - For fixed-sized vectors, e.g., defined via ``__attribute__((vector_size(N)))`` or ARM NEON's vector types - (e.g., ``uint16x8_t``), this returns the constant number of elements at compile-time. - For scalable vectors, e.g., SVE or RISC-V V, the number of elements is not known at compile-time and is - determined at runtime. -* The ``__datasizeof`` keyword has been added. It is similar to ``sizeof`` - except that it returns the size of a type ignoring tail padding. -* ``__builtin_classify_type()`` now classifies ``_BitInt`` values as the return value ``18`` - and vector types as return value ``19``, to match GCC 14's behavior. -* The default value of `_MSC_VER` was raised from 1920 to 1933. -* Since MSVC 19.33 added undocumented attribute ``[[msvc::constexpr]]``, this release adds the attribute as well. - -* Added ``#pragma clang fp reciprocal``. - -* The version of Unicode used by Clang (primarily to parse identifiers) has been updated to 15.1. - New Compiler Flags ------------------ -* ``-fverify-intermediate-code`` and its complement ``-fno-verify-intermediate-code``. - Enables or disables verification of the generated LLVM IR. - Users can pass this to turn on extra verification to catch certain types of - compiler bugs at the cost of extra compile time. - Since enabling the verifier adds a non-trivial cost of a few percent impact on - build times, it's disabled by default, unless your LLVM distribution itself is - compiled with runtime checks enabled. -* ``-fkeep-system-includes`` modifies the behavior of the ``-E`` option, - preserving ``#include`` directives for "system" headers instead of copying - the preprocessed text to the output. This can greatly reduce the size of the - preprocessed output, which can be helpful when trying to reduce a test case. -* ``-fassume-nothrow-exception-dtor`` is added to assume that the destructor of - a thrown exception object will not throw. The generated code for catch - handlers will be smaller. A throw expression of a type with a - potentially-throwing destructor will lead to an error. - -* ``-fopenacc`` was added as a part of the effort to support OpenACC in Clang. - -* ``-fcx-limited-range`` enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex - division and multiplication with no NaN checking of results. The default is - ``-fno-cx-limited-range``, but this option is enabled by ``-ffast-math``. - -* ``-fcx-fortran-rules`` enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex - multiplication and enables application of Smith's algorithm for complex - division. See SMITH, R. L. Algorithm 116: Complex division. Commun. ACM 5, 8 - (1962). The default is ``-fno-cx-fortran-rules``. - -* ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=<value>`` gives more freedom to users to - control how and if Clang forces a visibility for the replaceable new and - delete declarations. The option takes 4 values: ``force-hidden``, - ``force-protected``, ``force-default`` and ``source``; ``force-default`` is - the default. Option values with prefix ``force-`` assign such declarations - an implicit visibility attribute with the corresponding visibility. An option - value of ``source`` implies that no implicit attribute is added. Without the - attribute the replaceable global new and delete operators behave normally - (like other functions) with respect to visibility attributes, pragmas and - options (e.g ``--fvisibility=``). - Deprecated Compiler Flags ------------------------- Modified Compiler Flags ----------------------- -* ``-Woverriding-t-option`` is renamed to ``-Woverriding-option``. -* ``-Winterrupt-service-routine`` is renamed to ``-Wexcessive-regsave`` as a generalization -* ``-frewrite-includes`` now guards the original #include directives with - ``__CLANG_REWRITTEN_INCLUDES``, and ``__CLANG_REWRITTEN_SYSTEM_INCLUDES`` as - appropriate. -* Introducing a new default calling convention for ``-fdefault-calling-conv``: - ``rtdcall``. This new default CC only works for M68k and will use the new - ``m68k_rtdcc`` CC on every functions that are not variadic. The ``-mrtd`` - driver/frontend flag has the same effect when targeting M68k. -* ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete-hidden`` is now a deprecated spelling of - ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=force-hidden`` (``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=`` - is new in this release). - Removed Compiler Flags ------------------------- -* ``-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang`` has been removed. - It has not been needed to enable ``-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero`` since Clang 16. - Attribute Changes in Clang -------------------------- -- On X86, a warning is now emitted if a function with ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))`` - calls a function without ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))``, and is not compiled with - ``-mgeneral-regs-only`` -- On X86, a function with ``__attribute__((interrupt))`` can now call a function without - ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))`` provided that it is compiled with ``-mgeneral-regs-only`` - -- When a non-variadic function is decorated with the ``format`` attribute, - Clang now checks that the format string would match the function's parameters' - types after default argument promotion. As a result, it's no longer an - automatic diagnostic to use parameters of types that the format style - supports but that are never the result of default argument promotion, such as - ``float``. (`#59824: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59824>`_) - -- Clang now supports ``[[clang::preferred_type(type-name)]]`` as an attribute - which can be applied to a bit-field. This attribute helps to map a bit-field - back to a particular type that may be better-suited to representing the bit- - field but cannot be used for other reasons and will impact the debug - information generated for the bit-field. This is most useful when mapping a - bit-field of basic integer type back to a ``bool`` or an enumeration type, - e.g., - - .. code-block:: c++ - - enum E { Apple, Orange, Pear }; - struct S { - [[clang::preferred_type(E)]] unsigned FruitKind : 2; - }; - - When viewing ``S::FruitKind`` in a debugger, it will behave as if the member - was declared as type ``E`` rather than ``unsigned``. - -- Clang now warns you that the ``_Alignas`` attribute on declaration specifiers - is ignored, changed from the former incorrect suggestion to move it past - declaration specifiers. (`#58637 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58637>`_) - -- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_only_destroy_when_complete]]`` attribute - to reduce the size of the destroy functions for coroutines which are known to - be destroyed after having reached the final suspend point. - -- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]`` and ``[[clang::coro_wrapper]]`` - attributes. A function returning a type marked with ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]`` - should be a coroutine. A non-coroutine function marked with ``[[clang::coro_wrapper]]`` - is still allowed to return the such a type. This is helpful for analyzers to recognize coroutines from the function signatures. - -- Clang now supports ``[[clang::code_align(N)]]`` as an attribute which can be - applied to a loop and specifies the byte alignment for a loop. This attribute - accepts a positive integer constant initialization expression indicating the - number of bytes for the minimum alignment boundary. Its value must be a power - of 2, between 1 and 4096(inclusive). - - .. code-block:: c++ - - void Array(int *array, size_t n) { - [[clang::code_align(64)]] for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) array[i] = 0; - } - - template<int A> - void func() { - [[clang::code_align(A)]] for(;;) { } - } - -- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_lifetimebound]]`` attribute. - All parameters of a function are considered to be lifetime bound if the function - returns a type annotated with ``[[clang::coro_lifetimebound]]`` and ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]``. - This analysis can be disabled for a function by annotating the function with ``[[clang::coro_disable_lifetimebound]]``. Improvements to Clang's diagnostics ----------------------------------- -- Clang constexpr evaluator now prints template arguments when displaying - template-specialization function calls. -- Clang contexpr evaluator now displays notes as well as an error when a constructor - of a base class is not called in the constructor of its derived class. -- Clang no longer emits ``-Wmissing-variable-declarations`` for variables declared - with the ``register`` storage class. -- Clang's ``-Wswitch-default`` flag now diagnoses whenever a ``switch`` statement - does not have a ``default`` label. -- Clang's ``-Wtautological-negation-compare`` flag now diagnoses logical - tautologies like ``x && !x`` and ``!x || x`` in expressions. This also - makes ``-Winfinite-recursion`` diagnose more cases. - (`#56035: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56035>`_). -- Clang constexpr evaluator now diagnoses compound assignment operators against - uninitialized variables as a read of uninitialized object. - (`#51536 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51536>`_) -- Clang's ``-Wformat-truncation`` now diagnoses ``snprintf`` call that is known to - result in string truncation. - (`#64871: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64871>`_). - Existing warnings that similarly warn about the overflow in ``sprintf`` - now falls under its own warning group ```-Wformat-overflow`` so that it can - be disabled separately from ``Wfortify-source``. - These two new warning groups have subgroups ``-Wformat-truncation-non-kprintf`` - and ``-Wformat-overflow-non-kprintf``, respectively. These subgroups are used when - the format string contains ``%p`` format specifier. - Because Linux kernel's codebase has format extensions for ``%p``, kernel developers - are encouraged to disable these two subgroups by setting ``-Wno-format-truncation-non-kprintf`` - and ``-Wno-format-overflow-non-kprintf`` in order to avoid false positives on - the kernel codebase. - Also clang no longer emits false positive warnings about the output length of - ``%g`` format specifier and about ``%o, %x, %X`` with ``#`` flag. -- Clang now emits ``-Wcast-qual`` for functional-style cast expressions. -- Clang no longer emits irrelevant notes about unsatisfied constraint expressions - on the left-hand side of ``||`` when the right-hand side constraint is satisfied. - (`#54678: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54678>`_). -- Clang now prints its 'note' diagnostic in cyan instead of black, to be more compatible - with terminals with dark background colors. This is also more consistent with GCC. -- Clang now displays an improved diagnostic and a note when a defaulted special - member is marked ``constexpr`` in a class with a virtual base class - (`#64843: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64843>`_). -- ``-Wfixed-enum-extension`` and ``-Wmicrosoft-fixed-enum`` diagnostics are no longer - emitted when building as C23, since C23 standardizes support for enums with a - fixed underlying type. -- When describing the failure of static assertion of `==` expression, clang prints the integer - representation of the value as well as its character representation when - the user-provided expression is of character type. If the character is - non-printable, clang now shows the escpaed character. - Clang also prints multi-byte characters if the user-provided expression - is of multi-byte character type. - - *Example Code*: - - .. code-block:: c++ - - static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍'); - - *BEFORE*: - - .. code-block:: text - - source:1:15: error: static assertion failed due to requirement '"A\n"[1] == U'\U0001f30d'' - 1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍'); - | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - source:1:24: note: expression evaluates to '' - ' == 127757' - 1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍'); - | ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ - - *AFTER*: - - .. code-block:: text - - source:1:15: error: static assertion failed due to requirement '"A\n"[1] == U'\U0001f30d'' - 1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍'); - | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - source:1:24: note: expression evaluates to ''\n' (0x0A, 10) == U'🌍' (0x1F30D, 127757)' - 1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍'); - | ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ -- Clang now always diagnoses when using non-standard layout types in ``offsetof`` . - (`#64619: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64619>`_) -- Clang now diagnoses redefined defaulted constructor when redefined - defaulted constructor with different exception specs. - (`#69094: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69094>`_) -- Clang now diagnoses use of variable-length arrays in C++ by default (and - under ``-Wall`` in GNU++ mode). This is an extension supported by Clang and - GCC, but is very easy to accidentally use without realizing it's a - nonportable construct that has different semantics from a constant-sized - array. (`#62836 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62836>`_) - -- Clang changed the order in which it displays candidate functions on overloading failures. - Previously, Clang used definition of ordering from the C++ Standard. The order defined in - the Standard is partial and is not suited for sorting. Instead, Clang now uses a strict - order that still attempts to push more relevant functions to the top by comparing their - corresponding conversions. In some cases, this results in better order. E.g., for the - following code - - .. code-block:: cpp - - struct Foo { - operator int(); - operator const char*(); - }; - - void test() { Foo() - Foo(); } - - Clang now produces a list with two most relevant builtin operators at the top, - i.e. ``operator-(int, int)`` and ``operator-(const char*, const char*)``. - Previously ``operator-(const char*, const char*)`` was the first element, - but ``operator-(int, int)`` was only the 13th element in the output. - However, new implementation does not take into account some aspects of - C++ semantics, e.g. which function template is more specialized. This - can sometimes lead to worse ordering. - - -- When describing a warning/error in a function-style type conversion Clang underlines only until - the end of the expression we convert from.

The ``-fopenacc`` flag was added to enable these new, - albeit incomplete changes. The ``_OPENACC`` macro is currently defined to - ``1``, as support is too incomplete to update to a standards-required value. -- Added ``-fexperimental-openacc-macro-override``, a command line option to - permit overriding the ``_OPENACC`` macro to be any digit-only value specified - by the user, which permits testing the compiler against existing OpenACC - workloads in order to evaluate implementation progress. Target Specific Changes ----------------------- AMDGPU Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Use pass-by-reference (byref) in stead of pass-by-value (byval) for struct - arguments in C ABI. Callee is responsible for allocating stack memory and - copying the value of the struct if modified. Note that AMDGPU backend still - supports byval for struct arguments. -- The default value for ``-mcode-object-version`` is now 5. - See `AMDHSA Code Object V5 Metadata <https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#code-object-v5-metadata>`_ - for more details. X86 Support ^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Added option ``-m[no-]evex512`` to disable ZMM and 64-bit mask instructions - for AVX512 features. -- Support ISA of ``USER_MSR``. - * Support intrinsic of ``_urdmsr``. - * Support intrinsic of ``_uwrmsr``. -- Support ISA of ``AVX10.1``. -- ``-march=pantherlake`` and ``-march=clearwaterforest`` are now supported. -- Added ABI handling for ``__float128`` to match with GCC. -- Emit warnings for options to enable knl/knm specific ISAs: AVX512PF, AVX512ER - and PREFETCHWT1. From next version (LLVM 19), these ISAs' intrinsic supports - will be deprecated: - * intrinsic series of *_exp2a23_* - * intrinsic series of *_rsqrt28_* - * intrinsic series of *_rcp28_* - * intrinsic series of *_prefetch_i[3|6][2|4]gather_* - * intrinsic series of *_prefetch_i[3|6][2|4]scatter_* - Arm and AArch64 Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- C++ function name mangling has been changed to align with the specification - (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst). - This affects C++ functions with SVE ACLE parameters. Clang will use the old - manglings if ``-fclang-abi-compat=17`` or lower is specified. - -- New AArch64 asm constraints have been added for r8-r11(Uci) and r12-r15(Ucj). - -- Support has been added for the following processors (-mcpu identifiers in parenthesis): - - For Arm: - - * Cortex-M52 (cortex-m52). - - For AArch64: - - * Cortex-A520 (cortex-a520). - * Cortex-A720 (cortex-a720). - * Cortex-X4 (cortex-x4). - Android Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Android target triples are usually suffixed with a version. Clang searches for - target-specific runtime and standard libraries in directories named after the - target (e.g. if you're building with ``--target=aarch64-none-linux-android21``, - Clang will look for ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android21`` under its resource - directory to find runtime libraries). If an exact match isn't found, Clang - would previously fall back to a directory without any version (which would be - ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android`` in our example). Clang will now look for - directories for lower versions and use the newest version it finds instead, - e.g. if you have ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android21`` and - ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android29``, ``-target aarch64-none-linux-android23`` - will use the former and ``-target aarch64-none-linux-android30`` will use the - latter. Falling back to a versionless directory will now emit a warning, and - the fallback will be removed in Clang 19. - Windows Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Fixed an assertion failure that occurred due to a failure to propagate - ``MSInheritanceAttr`` attributes to class template instantiations created - for explicit template instantiation declarations. - -- The ``-fno-auto-import`` option was added for MinGW targets. The option both - affects code generation (inhibiting generating indirection via ``.refptr`` - stubs for potentially auto imported symbols, generating smaller and more - efficient code) and linking (making the linker error out on such cases). - If the option only is used during code generation but not when linking, - linking may succeed but the resulting executables may expose issues at - runtime. LoongArch Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Added builtins support for all LSX (128-bits SIMD) and LASX (256-bits SIMD) - instructions. -- Added builtins support for approximate calculation instructions that were - introduced in LoongArch Reference Manual V1.10. -- Made ``-mcmodel=`` compatible with LoongArch gcc that accepted ``normal``, - ``medium`` and ``extreme``. -- The ``model`` attribute was now supported for overriding the default code - model used to access global variables. The following values were supported: - ``normal``, ``medium`` and ``extreme``. - - *Example Code*: - - .. code-block:: c - - int var __attribute((model("extreme"))); - -- Default to ``-fno-direct-access-external-data`` for non-PIC. -- An ABI mismatch with gcc/g++ about empty structs/unions passing was fixed. -- ``_mcount`` was generated instead of ``mcount``. RISC-V Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Unaligned memory accesses can be toggled by ``-m[no-]unaligned-access`` or the - aliases ``-m[no-]strict-align``. -- CodeGen of RV32E/RV64E was supported experimentally. -- CodeGen of ilp32e/lp64e was supported experimentally. - -- Default ABI with F but without D was changed to ilp32f for RV32 and to lp64f - for RV64.
