The core LLVM 2.4 distribution currently consists of code from the core LLVM
|
|
repository (which roughly contains the LLVM optimizer, 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
|
|
<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 LLVM optimizer

and code generator. Clang is continuing to make major strides forward in all
|
|
areas. Its C and Objective-C parsing support is very solid, and the code
|
|
generation support is far enough along to build many C applications. While not
|
|
yet production quality, it is progressing very nicely. In addition, C++
|

front-end work has started to make significant progress.</p>

|
|
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>.
|
|
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).</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>
