Improvements to clang-tidy
--------------------------
-- New global configuration file options `HeaderFileExtensions` and
- `ImplementationFileExtensions`, replacing the check-local options of the
- same name.
-
-- Support specifying `Checks` as a YAML list in the `.clang-tidy` configuration
- file.
-
-- Fix a potential crash when using the `--dump-config` option.
-
-- Support specifying `SystemHeaders` in the `.clang-tidy` configuration file,
- with the same functionality as the command-line option `--system-headers`.
-
-- `WarningsAsErrors` (`--warnings-as-errors=`) no longer promotes unlisted
- warnings to errors. Only the warnings listed in `Checks` (`--checks=`) will
- be promoted to errors. For custom error promotion, use `-Werror=<warning>`
- on the compiler command-line, irrespective of `Checks` (`--checks=`) settings.
-
-- Fixed an issue where compiler warnings couldn't be suppressed using
- `-Wno-<warning>` under C++20 and above.
-

C/C++ Language Potentially Breaking Changes
-------------------------------------------
-- Indirect edges of asm goto statements under certain circumstances may now be
- split. In previous releases of clang, that means for the following code the
- two inputs may have compared equal in the inline assembly. This is no longer
- guaranteed (and necessary to support outputs along indirect edges, which is
- now supported as of this release). This change is more consistent with the
- behavior of GCC.
-
- .. code-block:: c

- foo: asm goto ("# %0 %1"::"i"(&&foo)::foo);
-
-- ``__builtin_object_size`` and ``__builtin_dynamic_object_size`` now add the
- ``sizeof`` the elements specified in designated initializers of flexible
- array members for structs that contain them. This change is more consistent
- with the behavior of GCC.
C++ Specific Potentially Breaking Changes
-----------------------------------------
-- Clang won't search for coroutine_traits in std::experimental namespace any more.
- Clang will only search for std::coroutine_traits for coroutines then.
-- Clang no longer allows dereferencing of a ``void *`` as an extension. Clang 16
- converted this to a default-error as ``-Wvoid-ptr-dereference``, as well as a
- SFINAE error. This flag is still valid however, as it disables the equivalent
- warning in C.
ABI Changes in This Version
---------------------------
-- A bug in evaluating the ineligibility of some special member functions has been fixed. This can
- make some classes trivially copyable that were not trivially copyable before. (`#62555 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62555>`_)
What's New in Clang |release|?
==============================
@@ -79,1032 +56,128 @@ sections with improvements to Clang's support for those languages.
C++ Language Changes
--------------------
-- Improved ``-O0`` code generation for calls to ``std::forward_like``. Similarly to
- ``std::move, std::forward`` et al. it is now treated as a compiler builtin and implemented
- directly rather than instantiating the definition from the standard library.
-- Implemented `CWG2518 <https://wg21.link/CWG2518>`_ which allows ``static_assert(false)``
- to not be ill-formed when its condition is evaluated in the context of a template definition.
-- Declaring namespace std to be an inline namespace is now prohibited, `[namespace.std]p7`.
C++20 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Implemented the rule introduced by `CA104 <https://wg21.link/P2103R0>`_ for comparison of
- constraint-expressions. Improved support for out-of-line definitions of constrained templates.
- This fixes:
- `#49620 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/49620>`_,
- `#60231 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60231>`_,
- `#61414 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61414>`_,
- `#61809 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61809>`_.
-- Lambda templates with a requires clause directly after the template parameters now parse
- correctly if the requires clause consists of a variable with a dependent type.
- (`#61278 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61278>`_)
-- Announced C++20 Coroutines is fully supported on all targets except Windows, which
- still has some stability and ABI issues.
-- Downgraded use of a reserved identifier in a module export declaration from
- an error to a warning under the ``-Wreserved-module-identifier`` warning
- group. This warning is enabled by default. This addresses `#61446
- <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61446>`_ and allows easier
- building of standard modules. This diagnostic may be strengthened into an
- error again in the future once there is a less fragile way to mark a module
- as being part of the implementation rather than a user module.
-- Clang now implements `[temp.deduct]p9`. Substitution failures inside lambdas from
- unevaluated contexts will be surfaced as errors. They were previously handled as
- SFINAE.
-- Clang now supports `requires cplusplus20` for module maps.
-- Implemented missing parts of `P2002R1: Consistent comparison operators <https://wg21.link/P2002R1>`_
-- Clang now defines `__cpp_consteval` macro.
-- Implemented `P1816R0: <https://wg21.link/p1816r0>`_ and `P2082R1: <https://wg21.link/p2082r1>`_,
- which allows CTAD for aggregates.
C++23 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Implemented `P2036R3: Change scope of lambda trailing-return-type <https://wg21.link/P2036R3>`_
- and `P2579R0 Mitigation strategies for P2036 <https://wg21.link/P2579R0>`_.
- These proposals modify how variables captured in lambdas can appear in trailing return type
- expressions and how their types are deduced therein, in all C++ language versions.
-- Implemented partial support for `P2448R2: Relaxing some constexpr restrictions <https://wg21.link/p2448r2>`_
- Explicitly defaulted functions no longer have to be constexpr-compatible but merely constexpr suitable.
- We do not support outside of defaulted special memeber functions the change that constexpr functions no
- longer have to be constexpr compatible but rather support a less restricted requirements for constexpr
- functions. Which include allowing non-literal types as return values and parameters, allow calling of
- non-constexpr functions and constructors.
-- Clang now supports `requires cplusplus23` for module maps.
-- Implemented `P2564R3: consteval needs to propagate up <https://wg21.link/P2564R3>`_.
-
C++2c Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Compiler flags ``-std=c++2c`` and ``-std=gnu++2c`` have been added for experimental C++2c implementation work.
-- Implemented `P2738R1: constexpr cast from void* <https://wg21.link/P2738R1>`_.
-- Partially implemented `P2361R6: Unevaluated strings <https://wg21.link/P2361R6>`_.
- The changes to attributes declarations are not part of this release.
-- Implemented `P2741R3: user-generated static_assert messages <https://wg21.link/P2741R3>`_.
Resolutions to C++ Defect Reports
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Implemented `DR2397 <https://wg21.link/CWG2397>`_ which allows ``auto`` specifier for pointers
- and reference to arrays.
-- Implemented `CWG2521 <https://wg21.link/CWG2521>`_ which reserves using ``__`` in user-defined
- literal suffixes and deprecates literal operator function declarations using an identifier.
- Taught ``-Wuser-defined-literals`` for the former, on by default, and added
- ``-Wdeprecated-literal-operator`` for the latter, off by default for now.
-
- .. code-block:: c++
-
- // What follows is warned by -Wuser-defined-literals
- // albeit "ill-formed, no diagnostic required".
- // Its behavior is undefined, [reserved.names.general]p2.
- string operator ""__i18n(const char*, std::size_t);
-
- // Assume this declaration is not in the global namespace.
- // -Wdeprecated-literal-operator diagnoses the extra space.
- string operator "" _i18n(const char*, std::size_t);
- // ^ an extra space
C Language Changes
------------------
-- Support for outputs from asm goto statements along indirect edges has been
- added. (`#53562 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53562>`_)
-- Fixed a bug that prevented initialization of an ``_Atomic``-qualified pointer
- from a null pointer constant.
-- Fixed a bug that prevented casting to an ``_Atomic``-qualified type.
- (`#39596 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/39596>`_)
-- Added an extension to ``_Generic`` which allows the first operand to be a
- type rather than an expression. The type does not undergo any conversions,
- which makes this feature suitable for matching qualified types, incomplete
- types, and function or array types.
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- const int i = 12;
- _Generic(i, int : 0, const int : 1); // Warns about unreachable code, the
- // result is 0, not 1.
- _Generic(typeof(i), int : 0, const int : 1); // Result is 1, not 0.
C2x Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Implemented the ``unreachable`` macro in freestanding ``<stddef.h>`` for
- `WG14 N2826 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2826.pdf>`_
-
-- Removed the ``ATOMIC_VAR_INIT`` macro in C2x and later standards modes, which
- implements `WG14 N2886 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2886.htm>`_
-
-- Implemented `WG14 N2934 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2934.pdf>`_
- which introduces the ``bool``, ``static_assert``, ``alignas``, ``alignof``,
- and ``thread_local`` keywords in C2x.
-
-- Implemented `WG14 N2900 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2900.htm>`_
- and `WG14 N3011 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3011.htm>`_
- which allows for empty braced initialization in C.
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- struct S { int x, y } s = {}; // Initializes s.x and s.y to 0
-
- As part of this change, the ``-Wgnu-empty-initializer`` warning group was
- removed, as this is no longer a GNU extension but a C2x extension. You can
- use ``-Wno-c2x-extensions`` to silence the extension warning instead.
-
-- Updated the implementation of
- `WG14 N3042 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3042.htm>`_
- based on decisions reached during the WG14 CD Ballot Resolution meetings held
- in Jan and Feb 2023. This should complete the implementation of ``nullptr``
- and ``nullptr_t`` in C. The specific changes are:
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- void func(nullptr_t);
- func(0); // Previously required to be rejected, is now accepted.
- func((void *)0); // Previously required to be rejected, is now accepted.
-
- nullptr_t val;
- val = 0; // Previously required to be rejected, is now accepted.
- val = (void *)0; // Previously required to be rejected, is now accepted.
-
- bool b = nullptr; // Was incorrectly rejected by Clang, is now accepted.
-
-- Implemented `WG14 N3124 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3124.pdf>_`,
- which allows any universal character name to appear in character and string literals.
-
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
-------------------------------------------------
-- Clang now saves the address of ABI-indirect function parameters on the stack,
- improving the debug information available in programs compiled without
- optimizations.
-- Clang now supports ``__builtin_nondeterministic_value`` that returns a
- nondeterministic value of the same type as the provided argument.
-- Clang now supports ``__builtin_FILE_NAME()`` which returns the same
- information as the ``__FILE_NAME__`` macro (the presumed file name
- from the invocation point, with no path components included).
-- Clang now supports ``__builtin_assume_separate_storage`` that indicates that
- its arguments point to objects in separate storage allocations.
-- Clang now supports expressions in ``#pragma clang __debug dump``.
-- Clang now supports declaration of multi-dimensional arrays with
- ``__declspec(property)``.
-- A new builtin type trait ``__is_trivially_equality_comparable`` has been added,
- which checks whether comparing two instances of a type is equivalent to
- ``memcmp(&lhs, &rhs, sizeof(T)) == 0``.
-- Clang now ignores null directives outside of the include guard when deciding
- whether a file can be enabled for the multiple-include optimization.
-- Clang now support ``__builtin_FUNCSIG()`` which returns the same information
- as the ``__FUNCSIG__`` macro (available only with ``-fms-extensions`` flag).
- This fixes (`#58951 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58951>`_).
-- Clang now supports the `NO_COLOR <https://no-color.org/>`_ environment
- variable as a way to disable color diagnostics.
-- Clang now supports ``__builtin_isfpclass``, which checks if the specified
- floating-point value falls into any of the specified data classes.
-- Added ``__builtin_elementwise_round`` for builtin for floating
- point types. This allows access to ``llvm.round`` for
- arbitrary floating-point and vector of floating-point types.
-- Added ``__builtin_elementwise_rint`` for floating point types. This
- allows access to ``llvm.rint`` for arbitrary floating-point and
- vector of floating-point types.
-- Added ``__builtin_elementwise_nearbyint`` for floating point
- types. This allows access to ``llvm.nearbyint`` for arbitrary
- floating-point and vector of floating-point types.
-- Clang AST matcher now matches concept declarations with `conceptDecl`.
New Compiler Flags
------------------
-- The flag ``-std=c++23`` has been added. This behaves the same as the existing
- flag ``-std=c++2b``.
-- ``-dumpdir`` has been implemented to specify auxiliary and dump output
- filenames for features like ``-gsplit-dwarf``.
-- ``-fcaret-diagnostics-max-lines=`` has been added as a driver options, which
- lets users control the maximum number of source lines printed for a
- caret diagnostic.
-- ``-fkeep-persistent-storage-variables`` has been implemented to keep all
- variables that have a persistent storage duration—including global, static
- and thread-local variables—to guarantee that they can be directly addressed.
- Since this inhibits the merging of the affected variables, the number of
- individual relocations in the program will generally increase.
Deprecated Compiler Flags
-------------------------
-- ``-fdouble-square-bracket-attributes`` has been deprecated. It is ignored now
- and will be removed in Clang 18.
-
Modified Compiler Flags
-----------------------
-- ``clang -g -gsplit-dwarf a.c -o obj/x`` (compile and link) now generates the
- ``.dwo`` file at ``obj/x-a.dwo``, instead of a file in the temporary
- directory (``/tmp`` on \*NIX systems, if none of the environment variables
- TMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP are specified).
-
-- ``-ffat-lto-objects`` can now be used to emit object files with both object
- code and LLVM bitcode. Previously this flag was ignored for GCC compatibility.
- (`See related patch <https://reviews.llvm.org/D146777>`_).
-
Removed Compiler Flags
-------------------------
-- The deprecated flag `-fmodules-ts` is removed. Please use ``-std=c++20``
- or higher to use standard C++ modules instead.
-- The deprecated flag `-fcoroutines-ts` is removed. Please use ``-std=c++20``
- or higher to use standard C++ coroutines instead.
-- The CodeGen flag `-lower-global-dtors-via-cxa-atexit` which affects how global
- destructors are lowered for MachO is removed without replacement. The default
- of `-lower-global-dtors-via-cxa-atexit=true` is now the only supported way.
-- The cc1 flag ``-no-opaque-pointers`` has been removed.
Attribute Changes in Clang
--------------------------
-- Introduced a new function attribute ``__attribute__((unsafe_buffer_usage))``
- to be worn by functions containing buffer operations that could cause out of
- bounds memory accesses. It emits warnings at call sites to such functions when
- the flag ``-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`` is enabled.
-- ``__declspec`` attributes can now be used together with the using keyword. Before
- the attributes on ``__declspec`` was ignored, while now it will be forwarded to the
- point where the alias is used.
-- Introduced a new ``USR`` (unified symbol resolution) clause inside of the
- existing ``__attribute__((external_source_symbol))`` attribute. Clang's indexer
- uses the optional USR value when indexing Clang's AST. This value is expected
- to be generated by an external compiler when generating C++ bindings during
- the compilation of the foreign language sources (e.g. Swift).
-- The ``__has_attribute``, ``__has_c_attribute`` and ``__has_cpp_attribute``
- preprocessor operators now return 1 also for attributes defined by plugins.
-- Improve the AST fidelity of ``alignas`` and ``_Alignas`` attribute. Before, we
- model ``alignas(type-id)`` as though the user wrote ``alignas(alignof(type-id))``,
- now we directly use ``alignas(type-id)``.
Improvements to Clang's diagnostics
-----------------------------------
-- We now generate a diagnostic for signed integer overflow due to unary minus
- in a non-constant expression context.
- (`#31643 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/31643>`_)
-- Clang now warns by default for C++20 and later about deprecated capture of
- ``this`` with a capture default of ``=``. This warning can be disabled with
- ``-Wno-deprecated-this-capture``.
-- Clang had failed to emit some ``-Wundefined-internal`` for members of a local
- class if that class was first introduced with a forward declaration.
-- Diagnostic notes and fix-its are now generated for ``ifunc``/``alias`` attributes
- which point to functions whose names are mangled.
-- Diagnostics relating to macros on the command line of a preprocessed assembly
- file or precompiled header are now reported as coming from the file
- ``<command line>`` instead of ``<built-in>``.
-- Clang constexpr evaluator now provides a more concise diagnostic when calling
- function pointer that is known to be null.
-- Clang now avoids duplicate warnings on unreachable ``[[fallthrough]];`` statements
- previously issued from ``-Wunreachable-code`` and ``-Wunreachable-code-fallthrough``
- by prioritizing ``-Wunreachable-code-fallthrough``.
-- Clang now correctly diagnoses statement attributes ``[[clang::always_inline]]`` and
- ``[[clang::noinline]]`` when used on a statement with dependent call expressions.
-- Clang now checks for completeness of the second and third arguments in the
- conditional operator.
- (`#59718 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59718>`_)
-- There were some cases in which the diagnostic for the unavailable attribute
- might not be issued, this fixes those cases.
- (`61815 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61815>`_)
-- Clang now avoids unnecessary diagnostic warnings for obvious expressions in
- the case of binary operators with logical OR operations.
- (`#57906 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57906>`_)
-- Clang's "static assertion failed" diagnostic now points to the static assertion
- expression instead of pointing to the ``static_assert`` token.
- (`#61951 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61951>`_)
-- ``-Wformat`` now recognizes ``%lb`` for the ``printf``/``scanf`` family of
- functions.
- (`#62247: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62247>`_).
-- Clang now diagnoses shadowing of lambda's template parameter by a capture.
- (`#61105: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61105>`_).
-- Address a false positive in ``-Wpacked`` when applied to a non-pod type using
- Clang ABI >= 15.
- (`#62353: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62353>`_,
- fallout from the non-POD packing ABI fix in LLVM 15).
-- Clang constexpr evaluator now prints subobject's name instead of its type in notes
- when a constexpr variable has uninitialized subobjects after its constructor call.
- (`#58601 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58601>`_)
-- Clang's `-Wshadow` warning now warns about shadowings by static local variables
- (`#62850: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62850>`_).
-- Clang now warns when any predefined macro is undefined or redefined, instead
- of only some of them.
-- Clang now correctly diagnoses when the argument to ``alignas`` or ``_Alignas``
- is an incomplete type.
- (`#55175: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55175>`_, and fixes an
- incorrect mention of ``alignof`` in a diagnostic about ``alignas``).
-- Clang will now show a margin with line numbers to the left of each line
- of code it prints for diagnostics. This can be disabled using
- ``-fno-diagnostics-show-line-numbers``. At the same time, the maximum
- number of code lines it prints has been increased from 1 to 16. This
- can be controlled using ``-fcaret-diagnostics-max-lines=``.
-- Clang no longer emits ``-Wunused-variable`` warnings for variables declared
- with ``__attribute__((cleanup(...)))`` to match GCC's behavior.
-- Clang now issues expected warnings for situations of comparing with NULL pointers.
- (`#42992: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/42992>`_)
-- Clang now diagnoses unused const-qualified variable template as
- "unused variable template" rather than "unused variable".
-- When diagnosing a constant expression where an enum without a fixed underlying
- type is set to a value outside the range of the enum's values, clang will now
- print the name of the enum in question.
-- Clang no longer diagnoses a read of an empty structure as use of an
- uninitialized variable.
- (`#26842: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/26842>`_)
-- The Fix-It emitted for unused labels used to expand to the next line, which caused
- visual oddities now that Clang shows more than one line of code snippet. This has
- been fixed and the Fix-It now only spans to the end of the ``:``.
-- Clang now underlines the parameter list of function declaration when emitting
- a note about the mismatch in the number of arguments.
-- Clang now diagnoses unexpected tokens after a
- ``#pragma clang|GCC diagnostic push|pop`` directive.
- (`#13920: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/13920>`_)
-- Clang now does not try to analyze cast validity on variables with dependent alignment (`#63007: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63007>`_).
-- Clang constexpr evaluator now displays member function calls more precisely
- by making use of the syntactical structure of function calls. This avoids display
- of syntactically invalid codes in diagnostics.
- (`#57081: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57081>`_)
-- Clang no longer emits inappropriate notes about the loss of ``__unaligned`` qualifier
- on overload resolution, when the actual reason for the failure is loss of other qualifiers.
-- The note emitted when an ``operator==`` was defaulted as deleted used to refer to
- the lack of a data member's "three-way comparison operator". It now refers correctly
- to the data member's ``operator==``.
- (`#63960: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63960>`_)
-- Clang's notes about unconvertible types in overload resolution failure now covers
- the source range of parameter declaration of the candidate function declaration.
-
- *Example Code*:
-
- .. code-block:: c++
-
- void func(int aa, int bb);
- void test() { func(1, "two"); }
-
- *BEFORE*:
-
- .. code-block:: text
-
- source:2:15: error: no matching function for call to 'func'
- void test() { func(1, "two"); }
- ^~~~
- source:1:6: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char[4]' to 'int' for 2nd argument
- void func(int aa, int bb);
- ^
-
- *AFTER*:
-
- .. code-block:: text
-
- source:2:15: error: no matching function for call to 'func'
- void test() { func(1, "two"); }
- ^~~~
- source:1:6: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char[4]' to 'int' for 2nd argument
- void func(int aa, int bb);
- ^ ~~~~~~
-
-- ``-Wformat`` cast fix-its will now suggest ``static_cast`` instead of C-style casts
- for C++ code.
-- ``-Wformat`` will no longer suggest a no-op fix-it for fixing scoped enum format
- warnings. Instead, it will suggest casting the enum object to the type specified
- in the format string.
-- Clang now emits ``-Wconstant-logical-operand`` warning even when constant logical
- operand is on left side.
- (`#37919 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/37919>`_)
Bug Fixes in This Version
-------------------------
-- Added a new diagnostic warning group
- ``-Wdeprecated-redundant-constexpr-static-def``, under the existing
- ``-Wdeprecated`` group. This controls warnings about out-of-line definitions
- of 'static constexpr' data members that are unnecessary from C++17 onwards.
-- Fix segfault while running clang-rename on a non existing file.
- (`#36471 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/36471>`_)
-- Fix crash when diagnosing incorrect usage of ``_Nullable`` involving alias
- templates.
- (`#60344 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60344>`_)
-- Fix confusing warning message when ``/clang:-x`` is passed in ``clang-cl``
- driver mode and emit an error which suggests using ``/TC`` or ``/TP``
- ``clang-cl`` options instead.
- (`#59307 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59307>`_)
-- Fix assert that fails when the expression causing the this pointer to be
- captured by a block is part of a constexpr if statement's branch and
- instantiation of the enclosing method causes the branch to be discarded.
-- Fix __VA_OPT__ implementation so that it treats the concatenation of a
- non-placemaker token and placemaker token as a non-placemaker token.
- (`#60268 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60268>`_)
-- Fix crash when taking the address of a consteval lambda call operator.
- (`#57682 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57682>`_)
-- Clang now support export declarations in the language linkage.
- (`#60405 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60405>`_)
-- Fix aggregate initialization inside lambda constexpr.
- (`#60936 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60936>`_)
-- No longer issue a false positive diagnostic about a catch handler that cannot
- be reached despite being reachable. This fixes
- `#61177 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61177>`_ in anticipation
- of `CWG2699 <https://wg21.link/CWG2699>_` being accepted by WG21.
-- Fix crash when parsing fold expression containing a delayed typo correction.
- (`#61326 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61326>`_)

- function context.
- (`#37792 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/37792>`_) and
- (`#48405 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/48405>`_)
-- Fix crash when using ``[[clang::always_inline]]`` or ``[[clang::noinline]]``
- statement attributes on a call to a template function in the body of a
- template function.
-- Fix coroutines issue where ``get_return_object()`` result was always eagerly
- converted to the return type. Eager initialization (allowing RVO) is now only
- performed when these types match, otherwise deferred initialization is used,
- enabling short-circuiting coroutines use cases. This fixes
- (`#56532 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56532>`_) in
- anticipation of `CWG2563 <https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/2563.html>_`.
-- Fix highlighting issue with ``_Complex`` and initialization list with more than
- 2 items. (`#61518 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61518>`_)
-- Fix ``getSourceRange`` on ``VarTemplateSpecializationDecl`` and
- ``VarTemplatePartialSpecializationDecl``, which represents variable with
- the initializer, so it behaves consistently with other ``VarDecls`` and ends
- on the last token of initializer, instead of right angle bracket of
- the template argument list.
-- Fix false-positive diagnostic issued for consteval initializers of temporary
- objects.
- (`#60286 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60286>`_)
-- Correct restriction of trailing requirements clauses on a templated function.
- Previously we only rejected non-'templated' things, but the restrictions ALSO need
- to limit non-defined/non-member functions as well. Additionally, we now diagnose
- requires on lambdas when not allowed, which we previously missed.
- (`#61748 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61748>`_)
-- Fix confusing diagnostic for incorrect use of qualified concepts names.

- (`#62054 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62054>`_)
-- Work around with a clang coverage crash which happens when visiting
- expressions/statements with invalid source locations in non-assert builds.
- Assert builds may still see assertions triggered from this.
-- Fix a failed assertion due to an invalid source location when trying to form
- a coverage report for an unresolved constructor expression.
- (`#62105 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62105>`_)
-- Fix defaulted equality operator so that it does not attempt to compare unnamed
- bit-fields. This fixes:
- (`#61355 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61335>`_) and
- (`#61417 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61417>`_)
-- Fix crash after suggesting typo correction to constexpr if condition.
- (`#61885 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61885>`_)

-- Fix crash when member function contains invalid default argument.
- (`#62122 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62122>`_)
-- Fix crash when handling undefined template partial specialization
- (`#61356 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61356>`_)

- (`#62192 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62192>`_)
-- Fix crash when attempting to pass a non-pointer type as first argument of
- ``__builtin_assume_aligned``.
- (`#62305 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62305>`_)
-- A default argument for a non-type template parameter is evaluated and checked
- at the point where it is required. This fixes:
- (`#62224 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62224>`_) and
- (`#62596 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62596>`_)
-- Fix an assertion when instantiating the body of a Class Template Specialization

- ``__builtin_dynamic_object_size`` on structs containing flexible array
- members.

- (`#63169 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63169>_`)
-- Fix crash when casting an object to an array type.
- (`#63758 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63758>_`)
-- Fixed false positive error diagnostic observed from mixing ``asm goto`` with
- ``__attribute__((cleanup()))`` variables falsely warning that jumps to
- non-targets would skip cleanup.
-- Correcly diagnose jumps into statement expressions.
- This ensures the behavior of Clang is consistent with GCC.
- (`#63682 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63682>`_)
-- Invalidate BlockDecl with implicit return type, in case any of the return
- value exprs is invalid. Propagating the error info up by replacing BlockExpr
- with a RecoveryExpr. This fixes:

Bug Fixes to Compiler Builtins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bug Fixes to Attribute Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Fixed a bug where attribute annotations on type specifiers (enums, classes,
- structs, unions, and scoped enums) were not properly ignored, resulting in
- misleading warning messages. Now, such attribute annotations are correctly
- ignored. (`#61660 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61660>`_)
-- GNU attributes preceding C++ style attributes on templates were not properly
- handled, resulting in compilation error. This has been corrected to match the

- (`#61440 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61440>`_)
-
Target Specific Changes
-----------------------
AMDGPU Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Linking for AMDGPU now uses ``--no-undefined`` by default. This causes
- undefined symbols in the created module to be a linker error. To prevent this,
- pass ``-Wl,--undefined`` if compiling directly, or ``-Xoffload-linker
- --undefined`` if using an offloading language.
-- The deprecated ``-mcode-object-v3`` and ``-mno-code-object-v3`` command-line
- options have been removed.
-- A new option ``-mprintf-kind`` has been introduced that controls printf lowering
- scheme. It is currently supported only for HIP and takes following values,
- ``hostcall`` - printing happens during kernel execution via series of hostcalls,
- The scheme requires the system to support pcie atomics.(default)
- ``buffered`` - Scheme uses a debug buffer to populate printf varargs, does not
- rely on pcie atomics support.
-
X86 Support
^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Add ISA of ``AMX-COMPLEX`` which supports ``tcmmimfp16ps`` and
- ``tcmmrlfp16ps``.
-- Support ISA of ``SHA512``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm256_sha512msg1_epi64``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm256_sha512msg2_epi64``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm256_sha512rnds2_epi64``.
-- Support ISA of ``SM3``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm_sm3msg1_epi32``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm_sm3msg2_epi32``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm_sm3rnds2_epi32``.
-- Support ISA of ``SM4``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm(256)_sm4key4_epi32``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm(256)_sm4rnds4_epi32``.
-- Support ISA of ``AVX-VNNI-INT16``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm(256)_dpwsud(s)_epi32``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm(256)_dpwusd(s)_epi32``.
- * Support intrinsic of ``_mm(256)_dpwuud(s)_epi32``.
-- ``-march=graniterapids-d`` is now supported.
-
Arm and AArch64 Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- The hard-float ABI is now available in Armv8.1-M configurations that
- have integer MVE instructions (and therefore have FP registers) but
- no scalar or vector floating point computation. Previously, trying
- to select the hard-float ABI on such a target (via
- ``-mfloat-abi=hard`` or a triple ending in ``hf``) would silently
- use the soft-float ABI instead.
-
-- Clang builtin ``__arithmetic_fence`` and the command line option ``-fprotect-parens``
- are now enabled for AArch64.
-
-- Clang supports flag output operands by which conditions in the NZCV could be outputs
- of inline assembly for AArch64. This change is more consistent with the behavior of
- GCC.
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- // int a = foo(); int* b = bar();
- asm("ands %w[a], %w[a], #3" : [a] "+r"(a), "=@cceq"(*b));
-
-- Fix a crash when ``preserve_all`` calling convention is used on AArch64.
- `Issue 58145 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58145>`_
-
Windows Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LoongArch Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Patchable function entry (``-fpatchable-function-entry``) is now supported
- on LoongArch.
-- Unaligned memory accesses can be toggled by ``-m[no-]unaligned-access`` or the
- aliases ``-m[no-]strict-align``.
-- Non ``$``-prefixed GPR names (e.g. ``r4`` and ``a0``) are allowed in inlineasm
- like GCC does.
-
RISC-V Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Added ``-mrvv-vector-bits=`` option to give an upper and lower bound on vector
- length. Valid values are powers of 2 between 64 and 65536. A value of 32
- should eventually be supported. We also accept "zvl" to use the Zvl*b
- extension from ``-march`` or ``-mcpu`` to the be the upper and lower bound.
-- Fixed incorrect ABI lowering of ``_Float16`` in the case of structs
- containing ``_Float16`` that are eligible for passing via GPR+FPR or
- FPR+FPR.
-- Removed support for ``__attribute__((interrupt("user")))``. User-level
- interrupts are not in version 1.12 of the privileged specification.
-- Added ``attribute(riscv_rvv_vector_bits(__riscv_v_fixed_vlen))`` to allow
- the size of a RVV (RISC-V Vector) scalable type to be specified. This allows
- RVV scalable vector types to be used in structs or in global variables.
-- The rules for ordering of extensions in ``-march`` strings were relaxed. A
- canonical ordering is no longer enforced on ``z*``, ``s*``, and ``x*``
- prefixed extensions.
CUDA/HIP Language Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Clang has been updated to align its default language standard for CUDA/HIP with
- that of C++. The standard has now been enhanced to gnu++17, supplanting the
- previously used c++14.
CUDA Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Clang now supports CUDA SDK up to 12.1
AIX Support
^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Add an AIX-only link-time option, `-mxcoff-build-id=0xHEXSTRING`, to allow users
- to embed a hex id in their binary such that it's readable by the program itself.
- This option is an alternative to the `--build-id=0xHEXSTRING` GNU linker option
- which is currently not supported by the AIX linker.
-
-- Introduced the ``-mxcoff-roptr`` option to place constant objects with
- relocatable address values in the read-only data section. This option should
- be used with the ``-fdata-sections`` option, and is not supported with
- ``-fno-data-sections``. When ``-mxcoff-roptr`` is in effect at link time,
- read-only data sections with relocatable address values that resolve to
- imported symbols are made writable.
WebAssembly Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Shared library support (and PIC code generation) for WebAssembly is no longer
- limited to the Emscripten target OS and now works with other targets such as
- wasm32-wasi. Note that the `format
- <https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions/blob/main/DynamicLinking.md>`_
- is not yet stable and may change between LLVM versions. Also, WASI does not
- yet have facilities to load dynamic libraries.
AVR Support
^^^^^^^^^^^
-- The definition of ``USHRT_MAX`` in the freestanding ``<limits.h>`` no longer
- overflows on AVR (where ``sizeof(int) == sizeof(unsigned short)``). The type
- of ``USHRT_MAX`` is now ``unsigned int`` instead of ``int``, as required by
- the C standard.
DWARF Support in Clang
----------------------
Floating Point Support in Clang
-------------------------------
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log`` builtin for floating point types only.
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log10`` builtin for floating point types only.
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log2`` builtin for floating point types only.
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_exp`` builtin for floating point types only.
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_exp2`` builtin for floating point types only.
-- Add ``__builtin_set_flt_rounds`` builtin for X86, x86_64, Arm and AArch64 only.
-- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_pow`` builtin for floating point types only.
AST Matchers
------------
-- Add ``coroutineBodyStmt`` matcher.
-
-- The ``hasBody`` matcher now matches coroutine body nodes in
- ``CoroutineBodyStmts``.
-
-- Add ``arrayInitIndexExpr`` and ``arrayInitLoopExpr`` matchers.
-
clang-format
------------
-- Add ``NextLineOnly`` style to option ``PackConstructorInitializers``.
- Compared to ``NextLine`` style, ``NextLineOnly`` style will not try to
- put the initializers on the current line first, instead, it will try to
- put the initializers on the next line only.
-- Add additional Qualifier Ordering support for special cases such
- as templates, requires clauses, long qualified names.
-- Fix all known issues associated with ``LambdaBodyIndentation: OuterScope``.
-- Add ``BracedInitializerIndentWidth`` which can be used to configure
- the indentation level of the contents of braced init lists.
-- Add ``KeepEmptyLinesAtEOF`` to keep empty lines at end of file.
-- Add ``RemoveParentheses`` to remove redundant parentheses.
-- Add ``TypeNames`` to treat listed non-keyword identifiers as type names.
-- Add ``AlignConsecutiveShortCaseStatements`` which can be used to align case
- labels in conjunction with ``AllowShortCaseLabelsOnASingleLine``.
-- Add ``SpacesInParens`` style with ``SpacesInParensOptions`` to replace
- ``SpacesInConditionalStatement``, ``SpacesInCStyleCastParentheses``,
- ``SpaceInEmptyParentheses``, and ``SpacesInParentheses``.
-
libclang
--------
-- Introduced the new function ``clang_CXXMethod_isExplicit``,
- which identifies whether a constructor or conversion function cursor
- was marked with the explicit identifier.
-
-- Introduced the new ``CXIndex`` constructor function
- ``clang_createIndexWithOptions``, which allows storing precompiled preambles
- in memory or overriding the precompiled preamble storage path.
-
-- Deprecated two functions ``clang_CXIndex_setGlobalOptions`` and
- ``clang_CXIndex_setInvocationEmissionPathOption`` in favor of the new
- function ``clang_createIndexWithOptions`` in order to improve thread safety.
-
-- Added check in ``clang_getFieldDeclBitWidth`` for whether a bit-field
- has an evaluable bit width. Fixes undefined behavior when called on a
- bit-field whose width depends on a template parameter.
-
-- Added ``CXBinaryOperatorKind`` and ``CXUnaryOperatorKind``.
- (`#29138 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/29138>`_)
-
Static Analyzer
---------------
-- Fix incorrect alignment attribute on the this parameter of certain
- non-complete destructors when using the Microsoft ABI.
- (`#60465 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60465>`_)
-
-- Removed the deprecated
- ``consider-single-element-arrays-as-flexible-array-members`` analyzer option.
- Any use of this flag will result in an error.
- Use `-fstrict-flex-arrays=<n>
- <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#cmdoption-clang-fstrict-flex-arrays>`_
-
-- Better modeling of lifetime-extended memory regions. As a result, the
- ``MoveChecker`` raises more true-positive reports.
-
-- Fixed some bugs (including crashes) around the handling of constant global
- arrays and their initializer expressions.
-
-- The ``CStringChecker`` will invalidate less if the copy operation is
- inferable to be bounded. For example, if the arguments of ``strcpy`` are
- known to be of certain lengths and that are in-bounds.
-
- .. code-block:: c++
-
- struct {
- void *ptr;
- char arr[4];
- } x;
- x.ptr = malloc(1);
- // extent of 'arr' is 4, and writing "hi\n" (4 characters),
- // thus no buffer overflow can happen
- strcpy(x.arr, "hi\n");
- free(x.ptr); // no longer reports memory leak here
-
- Similarly, functions like ``strsep`` now won't invalidate the object
- containing the destination buffer, because it can never overflow.
- Note that, ``std::copy`` is still not modeled, and as such, it will still
- invalidate the enclosing object on call.
- (`#55019 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55019>`_)
-
-- Implement ``BufferOverlap`` check for ``sprint``/``snprintf``
- The ``CStringChecker`` checks for buffer overlaps for ``sprintf`` and
- ``snprintf``.
-
-- Objective-C support was improved around checking ``_Nonnull`` and
- ``_Nullable`` including block pointers and literal objects.
-
-- Let the ``StreamChecker`` detect ``NULL`` streams instead of by
- ``StdCLibraryFunctions``.
- ``StreamChecker`` improved on the ``fseek`` modeling for the ``SEEK_SET``,
- ``SEEK_END``, ``SEEK_CUR`` arguments.
-
-- ``StdCLibraryFunctionArgs`` was merged into the ``StdCLibraryFunctions``.
- The diagnostics of the ``StdCLibraryFunctions`` was improved.
-
-- ``QTimer::singleShot`` now doesn't raise false-positives for memory leaks by
- the ``MallocChecker``.
- (`#39713 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/39713>`_)
-
-- Fixed the infamous unsigned index false-positives in the
- ``ArrayBoundCheckerV2`` checker.
- (`#44493 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/44493>`_)
-
-- Now, taint propagations are tracked further back until the real taint source.
- This improves all taint-related diagnostics.
-
-- Fixed a null-pointer dereference crash inside the ``MoveChecker``.
-
.. _release-notes-sanitizers:
Sanitizers
----------
-- Several more sanitizers are now ported to LoongArch: MSan, DFsan, Profile, XRay and libFuzzer.
Python Binding Changes
----------------------
-The following methods have been added:
-
-- ``clang_Location_isInSystemHeader`` exposed via the ``is_in_system_header``
- property of the `Location` class.

## Major New Features
-* Flang now supports loading LLVM pass plugins with the `-fpass-plugin` option
- which is also available in clang. The option mimics the behavior of the
- corresponding option in clang and has the same capabilities and limitations.
-* Flang also supports statically linked LLVM pass extensions. Projects can be
- linked statically into `flang-new` if the cmake command includes
- `-DLLVM_${NAME}_LINK_INTO_TOOLS=ON`. This behavior is also similar to clang.
-
## Bug Fixes
## Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
-* The bash wrapper script, `flang`, is renamed as `flang-to-external-fc`.
-* In contrast to Clang, Flang will not default to using `-fpie` when linking
- executables. This is only a temporary solution and the goal is to align with
- Clang in the near future. First, however, the frontend driver needs to be
- extended so that it can generate position independent code (that requires
- adding support for e.g. `-fpic` and `-mrelocation-model` in `flang-new
- -fc1`). Once that is available, support for the `-fpie` can officially be
- added and the default behaviour updated.
## New Compiler Flags
-* Refined how `-f{no-}color-diagnostics` is treated to better align with Clang.
- In particular, both `-fcolor-diagnostics` and `-fno-color-diagnostics` are
- now available in `flang-new` (the diagnostics are formatted by default). In
- the frontend driver, `flang-new -fc1`, only `-fcolor-diagnostics` is
- available (by default, the diagnostics are not formatted).

Update on required toolchains to build LLVM
-------------------------------------------
-With LLVM 17.x we raised the version requirement of CMake used to build LLVM.
-The new requirements are as follows:
-
-* CMake >= 3.20.0
-
Changes to the LLVM IR
----------------------
-* Typed pointers are no longer supported and the ``-opaque-pointers`` option
- has been removed. See the `opaque pointers <OpaquePointers.html>`__
- documentation for migration instructions.
-
-* The ``nofpclass`` attribute was introduced. This allows more
- optimizations around special floating point value comparisons.
-
-* Introduced new ``llvm.ldexp`` and ``llvm.experimental.constrained.ldexp`` intrinsics.
-
-* Introduced new ``llvm.frexp`` intrinsic.
-
-* The constant expression variants of the following instructions have been
- removed:
-
- * ``select``
-
-* Introduced a set of experimental `convergence control intrinsics
- <ConvergentOperations.html>`__ to explicitly define the semantics of convergent
- operations.
-
Changes to LLVM infrastructure
------------------------------
-* The legacy optimization pipeline has been removed.
-
-* Alloca merging in the inliner has been removed, since it only worked with the
- legacy inliner pass. Backend stack coloring should handle cases alloca
- merging initially set out to handle.
-
-* InstructionSimplify APIs now require instructions be inserted into a
- parent function.
-
-* A new FatLTO pipeline was added to support generating object files that have
- both machine code and LTO compatible bitcode. See the :doc:`FatLTO`
- documentation and the original
- `RFC <https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-ffat-lto-objects-support/63977>`_
- for more details.
-
Changes to building LLVM
------------------------
Changes to TableGen
-------------------
-* Named arguments are supported. Arguments can be specified in the form of
- ``name=value``.
-
Changes to Interprocedural Optimizations
----------------------------------------
Changes to the AArch64 Backend
------------------------------
-* Added Assembly Support for the 2022 A-profile extensions FEAT_GCS (Guarded
- Control Stacks), FEAT_CHK (Check Feature Status), and FEAT_ATS1A.
-* Support for preserve_all calling convention is added.
-* Added support for missing arch extensions in the assembly directives
- ``.arch <level>+<ext>`` and ``.arch_extension``.
-* Fixed handling of ``.arch <level>`` in assembly, without using any ``+<ext>``
- suffix. Previously this had no effect at all if no extensions were supplied.
- Now ``.arch <level>`` can be used to enable all the extensions that are
- included in a higher level than what is specified on the command line,
- or for disabling unwanted extensions if setting it to a lower level.
- This fixes `PR32873 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/32220>`.
-
Changes to the AMDGPU Backend
-----------------------------
-* More fine-grained synchronization around barriers for newer architectures
- (gfx90a+, gfx10+). The AMDGPU backend now omits previously automatically
- generated waitcnt instructions before barriers, allowing for more precise
- control. Users must now use memory fences to implement fine-grained
- synchronization strategies around barriers. Refer to `AMDGPU memory model
- <AMDGPUUsage.html#memory-model>`__.
-
-* Address space 7, used for *buffer fat pointers* has been added.
- It is non-integral and has 160-bit pointers (a 128-bit raw buffer resource and a
- 32-bit offset) and 32-bit indices. This is part of ongoing work to improve
- the usability of buffer operations. Refer to `AMDGPU address spaces
- <AMDGPUUsage.html#address-spaces>`__.
-
-* Address space 8, used for *buffer resources* has been added.
- It is non-integral and has 128-bit pointers, which correspond to buffer
- resources in the underlying hardware. These pointers should not be used with
- `getelementptr` or other LLVM memory instructions, and can be created with
- the `llvm.amdgcn.make.buffer.rsrc` intrinsic. Refer to `AMDGPU address spaces
- <AMDGPUUsage.html#address_spaces>`__.
-
-* New versions of the intrinsics for working with buffer resources have been added.
- These `llvm.amdgcn.*.ptr.[t]buffer.*` intrinsics have the same semantics as
- the old `llvm.amdgcn.*.[t]buffer.*` intrinsics, except that their `rsrc`
- arguments are represented by a `ptr addrspace(8)` instead of a `<4 x i32>`. This
- improves the interaction between AMDGPU buffer operations and the LLVM memory
- model, and so the non `.ptr` intrinsics are deprecated.
-
-* Removed ``llvm.amdgcn.atomic.inc`` and ``llvm.amdgcn.atomic.dec``
- intrinsics. :ref:`atomicrmw <i_atomicrmw>` should be used instead
- with ``uinc_wrap`` and ``udec_wrap``.
-
-* Added llvm.amdgcn.log.f32 intrinsic. This provides direct access to
- v_log_f32.
-
-* Added llvm.amdgcn.exp2.f32 intrinsic. This provides direct access to
- v_exp_f32.
-
-* llvm.log2.f32, llvm.log10.f32, and llvm.log.f32 are now lowered
- accurately. Use llvm.amdgcn.log.f32 to access the old behavior for
- llvm.log2.f32.
-
-* llvm.exp2.f32 and llvm.exp.f32 are now lowered accurately. Use
- llvm.amdgcn.exp2.f32 to access the old behavior for llvm.exp2.f32.
-
-* Implemented new 1ulp IEEE lowering strategy for float reciprocal
- which saves 2 instructions. This is used by default for OpenCL on
- gfx9+. With ``contract`` flags, this will fold into a 1 ulp rsqrt.
-
-* Implemented new 2ulp IEEE lowering strategy for float

-* On AIX, teach the profile runtime to check for a build-id string; such string
- can be created by the -mxcoff-build-id option.
-* Removed ``-ppc-quadword-atomics`` which only affected lock-free quadword
- atomics on AIX. Now backend generates lock-free quadword atomics code on AIX
- by default. To support lock-free quadword atomics in libatomic, the OS level
- must be at least AIX 7.2 TL5 SP3 with libc++.rte of version 17.1.1 or above

- New version I2.1, F2.2, D2.2, A2.1. This should not impact code generation.
- Immpacts versions accepted in ``-march`` and reported in ELF attributes.
-* Changed the ShadowCallStack register from ``x18`` (``s2``) to ``x3``

-* The DWARFv5 feature of attaching ``DW_AT_default_value`` to defaulted template
- parameters will now be available in any non-strict DWARF mode and in a wider
- range of cases than previously.
- (`D139953 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D139953>`_,
- `D139988 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D139988>`_)

-* The ``DW_AT_name`` on ``DW_AT_typedef``\ s for alias templates will now omit
- defaulted template parameters. (`D142268 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D142268>`_)
-
-* The experimental ``@llvm.dbg.addr`` intrinsic has been removed (`D144801
- <https://reviews.llvm.org/D144801>`_). IR inputs with this intrinsic are
- auto-upgraded to ``@llvm.dbg.value`` with ``DW_OP_deref`` appended to the
- ``DIExpression`` (`D144793 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D144793>`_).
-
-* When a template class annotated with the ``[[clang::preferred_name]]`` attribute
- were to appear in a ``DW_AT_type``, the type will now be that of the preferred_name
- instead. This change is only enabled when compiling with `-glldb`.
- (`D145803 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D145803>`_)
-
Changes to the LLVM tools
---------------------------------
-* llvm-lib now supports the /def option for generating a Windows import library from a definition file.
-
-* Made significant changes to JSON output format of `llvm-readobj`/`llvm-readelf`
- to improve correctness and clarity.
Changes to LLDB
---------------------------------
-* In the results of commands such as ``expr`` and ``frame var``, type summaries will now
- omit defaulted template parameters. The full template parameter list can still be
- viewed with ``expr --raw-output``/``frame var --raw-output``. (`D141828 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D141828>`_)
-
-* LLDB is now able to show the subtype of signals found in a core file. For example
- memory tagging specific segfaults such as ``SIGSEGV: sync tag check fault``.
-
-* LLDB can now display register fields if they are described in target XML sent
- by a debug server such as ``gdbserver`` (``lldb-server`` does not currently produce
- this information). Fields are only printed when reading named registers, for
- example ``register read cpsr``. They are not shown when reading a register set,
- ``register read -s 0``.
-
-* A new command ``register info`` was added. This command will tell you everything that
- LLDB knows about a register. Based on what LLDB already knows and what the debug
- server tells it. Including but not limited to, the size, where it is read from and
- the fields that the register contains.
-
Changes to Sanitizers
---------------------
-* For Darwin users that override weak symbols, note that the dynamic linker will
- only consider symbols in other mach-o modules which themselves contain at
- least one weak symbol. A consequence is that if your program or dylib contains
- an intended override of a weak symbol, then it must contain at least one weak
- symbol as well for the override to take effect.
-
- Example:
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- // Add this to make sure your override takes effect
- __attribute__((weak,unused)) unsigned __enableOverrides;
-
- // Example override
- extern "C" const char *__asan_default_options() { ... }
Other Changes
-------------
-* ``llvm::demangle`` now takes a ``std::string_view`` rather than a
- ``const std::string&``. Be careful passing temporaries into
- ``llvm::demangle`` that don't outlive the expression using
- ``llvm::demangle``.

- not have a target-dependent cost heuristics, and we recommend using
- LoopVectorize instead of -polly-vectorizer=polly.
-
- In the future we hope that Polly can collaborate better with LoopVectorize,
- like Polly marking a loop is safe to vectorize with a specific simd width,
- instead of replicating its functionality.

-- Polly-ACC has been removed.
