LLVM |release| Release Notes | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
.. contents:: | ||
:local: | ||
|
||
.. only:: PreRelease | ||
|
||
.. warning:: | ||
These are in-progress notes for the upcoming LLVM |version| release. | ||
Release notes for previous releases can be found on | ||
`the Download Page <https://releases.llvm.org/download.html>`_. | ||
|
||
|
||
Introduction | ||
============ | ||
|
||
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, | ||
release |release|. 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 `Discourse forums | ||
<https://discourse.llvm.org>`_ is a good place to ask | ||
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. | ||

Update on required toolchains to build LLVM | ||
------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the LLVM IR | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
* The ``x86_mmx`` IR type has been removed. It will be translated to | ||
the standard vector type ``<1 x i64>`` in bitcode upgrade. | ||
|
||
Changes to LLVM infrastructure | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to building LLVM | ||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to TableGen | ||
------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to Interprocedural Optimizations | ||
---------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the AArch64 Backend | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
* `.balign N, 0`, `.p2align N, 0`, `.align N, 0` in code sections will now fill | ||
the required alignment space with a sequence of `0x0` bytes (the requested | ||
fill value) rather than NOPs. | ||
|
||
Changes to the AMDGPU Backend | ||
----------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the ARM Backend | ||
-------------------------- | ||
|
||
* `.balign N, 0`, `.p2align N, 0`, `.align N, 0` in code sections will now fill | ||
the required alignment space with a sequence of `0x0` bytes (the requested | ||
fill value) rather than NOPs. | ||
|
||
Changes to the AVR Backend | ||
-------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the DirectX Backend | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to the Hexagon Backend | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to the LoongArch Backend | ||
-------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the MIPS Backend | ||
--------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the PowerPC Backend | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to the RISC-V Backend | ||
----------------------------- | ||
|
||
* `.balign N, 0`, `.p2align N, 0`, `.align N, 0` in code sections will now fill | ||
the required alignment space with a sequence of `0x0` bytes (the requested | ||
fill value) rather than NOPs. | ||
|
||
Changes to the WebAssembly Backend | ||
---------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the Windows Target | ||
----------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the X86 Backend | ||
-------------------------- | ||
|
||
* `.balign N, 0x90`, `.p2align N, 0x90`, and `.align N, 0x90` in code sections | ||
now fill the required alignment space with repeating `0x90` bytes, rather than | ||
using optimised NOP filling. Optimised NOP filling fills the space with NOP | ||
instructions of various widths, not just those that use the `0x90` byte | ||
encoding. To use optimised NOP filling in a code section, leave off the | ||
"fillval" argument, i.e. `.balign N`, `.p2align N` or `.align N` respectively. | ||
|
||
* Due to the removal of the ``x86_mmx`` IR type, functions with | ||
``x86_mmx`` arguments or return values will use a different, | ||
incompatible, calling convention ABI. Such functions are not | ||
generally seen in the wild (Clang never generates them!), so this is | ||
not expected to result in real-world compatibility problems. | ||
|
||
Changes to the OCaml bindings | ||
----------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the Python bindings | ||
------------------------------ | ||
|
||
Changes to the C API | ||
-------------------- | ||
|
||
* The following symbols are deleted due to the removal of the ``x86_mmx`` IR type: | ||
|
||
* ``LLVMX86_MMXTypeKind`` | ||
* ``LLVMX86MMXTypeInContext`` | ||
* ``LLVMX86MMXType`` | ||
|
||
Changes to the CodeGen infrastructure | ||
------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the Metadata Info | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the Debug Info | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to the LLVM tools | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to LLDB | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to BOLT | ||
--------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Changes to Sanitizers | ||

Additional Information | ||
====================== | ||
|
||
A wide variety of additional information is available on the `LLVM web page | ||
<https://llvm.org/>`_, in particular in the `documentation | ||
<https://llvm.org/docs/>`_ section. The web page also contains versions of the | ||
API documentation which is up-to-date with the Git version of the source | ||
code. You can access versions of these documents specific to this release by | ||
going into the ``llvm/docs/`` directory in the LLVM tree. | ||
|
||
If you have any questions or comments about LLVM, please feel free to contact | ||
us via the `Discourse forums <https://discourse.llvm.org>`_. |
