Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
|
release 13.0.0. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
|
|
from the previous release, improvements in various subprojects of LLVM, and
|
|
some of the current users of the code. All LLVM releases may be downloaded
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information about LLVM, including information about the latest
|
|
release, please check out the `main LLVM web site <https://llvm.org/>`_. If you
|
|
have questions or comments, the `LLVM Developer's Mailing List
|
|
<https://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev>`_ is a good place to send
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are reading this file from a Git checkout or the main
|
|
LLVM web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not the current
|
|
one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the `releases
|
|
page <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
=================================================
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
For small 1-3 sentence descriptions, just add an entry at the end of
|
|
this list. If your description won't fit comfortably in one bullet
|
|
point (e.g. maybe you would like to give an example of the
|
|
functionality, or simply have a lot to talk about), see the `NOTE` below
|
|
for adding a new subsection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE
|
|
If you would like to document a larger change, then you can add a
|
|
subsection about it right here. You can copy the following boilerplate
|
|
and un-indent it (the indentation causes it to be inside this comment).
|
|
|
|
Special New Feature
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Makes programs 10x faster by doing Special New Thing.
|
|
|
|
* Windows Control-flow Enforcement Technology: the ``-ehcontguard`` option now
|
|
emits valid unwind entrypoints which are validated when the context is being
|
|
set during exception handling.
|
|
|
|
Changes to the LLVM IR
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* The ``inalloca`` attribute now has a mandatory type field, similar
|
|
to ``byval`` and ``sret``.
|
|
|
|
* The opaque pointer type ``ptr`` has been introduced. It is still in the
|
|
process of being worked on and should not be used yet.
|
|
|
|
Changes to building LLVM
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
* The build system now supports building multiple distributions, so that you can
|
|
e.g. have one distribution containing just tools and another for libraries (to
|
|
enable development). See :ref:`Multi-distribution configurations` for details.
|
|
|
|

Changes to the FastISel infrastructure
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* FastISel no longer tracks killed registers, and instead leaves this to the
|
|
register allocator. This means that ``hasTrivialKill()`` is removed, as well
|
|
as the ``OpNIsKill`` parameters to the ``fastEmit_*()`` family of functions.

|
(`D96310 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D96310>`_)
|
|
|
|
* Support for in-order processors has been added to ``llvm-mca``.
|
