What's New in Clang 13.0.0?
|
2020-02-14 05:46:33 +08:00
|
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the major new features and improvements to Clang are listed
|
|
|
|
|
here. Generic improvements to Clang as a whole or to its underlying
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure are described first, followed by language-specific
|
|
|
|
|
sections with improvements to Clang's support for those languages.

|
|
|
- Guaranteed tail calls are now supported with statement attributes
|
|
|
|
|
``[[clang::musttail]]`` in C++ and ``__attribute__((musttail))`` in C. The
|
|
|
|
|
attribute is applied to a return statement (not a function declaration),
|
|
|
|
|
and an error is emitted if a tail call cannot be guaranteed, for example if
|
|
|
|
|
the function signatures of caller and callee are not compatible. Guaranteed
|
|
|
|
|
tail calls enable a class of algorithms that would otherwise use an
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary amount of stack space.

|
|
|
- ``-fstack-usage`` generates an extra .su file per input source file. The .su
|

|
|

- -Wshadow now also checks for shadowed structured bindings
|
2021-03-20 06:42:18 +08:00
|
|
|
- ``-B <prefix>`` (when ``<prefix>`` is a directory) was overloaded to additionally
|
|
|
|
|
detect GCC installations under ``<prefix>`` (``lib{,32,64}/gcc{,-cross}/$triple``).
|
|
|
|
|
This behavior was incompatible with GCC, caused interop issues with
|
|
|
|
|
``--gcc-toolchain``, and was thus dropped. Specify ``--gcc-toolchain=<dir>``
|
|
|
|
|
instead. ``-B``'s other GCC-compatible semantics are preserved:
|
|
|
|
|
``$prefix/$triple-$file`` and ``$prefix$file`` are searched for executables,
|
|
|
|
|
libraries, includes, and data files used by the compiler.

Removed a RecursiveASTVisitor feature to visit operator kinds with different methods
Summary:
This feature was only used in two places, but contributed a non-trivial
amount to the complexity of RecursiveASTVisitor, and was buggy (see my
recent patches where I was fixing the bugs that I noticed). I don't
think the convenience benefit of this feature is worth the complexity.
Besides complexity, another issue with the current state of
RecursiveASTVisitor is the non-uniformity in how it handles different
AST nodes. All AST nodes follow a regular pattern, but operators are
special -- and this special behavior not documented. Correct usage of
RecursiveASTVisitor relies on shadowing member functions with specific
names and signatures. Near misses don't cause any compile-time errors,
incorrectly named or typed methods are just silently ignored. Therefore,
predictability of RecursiveASTVisitor API is quite important.
This change reduces the size of the `clang` binary by 38 KB (0.2%) in
release mode, and by 7 MB (0.3%) in debug mode. The `clang-tidy` binary
is reduced by 205 KB (0.3%) in release mode, and by 5 MB (0.4%) in debug
mode. I don't think these code size improvements are significant enough
to justify this change on its own (for me, the primary motivation is
reducing code complexity), but they I think are a nice side-effect.

[clang-format] [PR19056] Add support for access modifiers indentation
Adds support for coding styles that make a separate indentation level for access modifiers, such as Code::Blocks or QtCreator.
The new option, `IndentAccessModifiers`, if enabled, forces the content inside classes, structs and unions (“records”) to be indented twice while removing a level for access modifiers. The value of `AccessModifierOffset` is disregarded in this case, aiming towards an ease of use.
======
The PR (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19056) had an implementation attempt by @MyDeveloperDay already (https://reviews.llvm.org/D60225) but I've decided to start from scratch. They differ in functionality, chosen approaches, and even the option name. The code tries to re-use the existing functionality to achieve this behavior, limiting possibility of breaking something else.

- Checks for newlines in option ``EmptyLineBeforeAccessModifier`` are now based

on the formatted new lines and not on the new lines in the file. (Fixes

accepts ``AllIfsAndElse`` value that allows to put "else if" and "else" short

[clang-format] Fix PointerAlignmentRight with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations
This re-applies the old patch D27651, which was never landed, into the
latest "main" branch, without understanding the code. I just applied
the changes "mechanically" and made it compiling again.
This makes the right pointer alignment working as expected.
Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353
For instance
const char* const* v1;
float const* v2;
SomeVeryLongType const& v3;
was formatted as
const char *const * v1;
float const * v2;
SomeVeryLongType const &v3;
This patch keep the *s or &s aligned to the right, next to their variable.
The above example is now formatted as
const char *const *v1;
float const *v2;
SomeVeryLongType const &v3;
It is a pity that this still does not work with clang-format in 2021,
even though there was a fix available in 2016. IMHO right pointer alignment
is the default case in C, because syntactically the pointer belongs to the
variable.
See
int* a, b, c; // wrong, just the 1st variable is a pointer
vs.
int *a, *b, *c; // right
Prominent example is the Linux kernel coding style.
Some styles argue the left pointer alignment is better and declaration
lists as shown above should be avoided. That's ok, as different projects
can use different styles, but this important style should work too.
I hope that somebody that has a better understanding about the code,
can take over this patch and land it into main.
For now I must maintain this fork to make it working for our projects.
Cheers,
Gerhard.
