|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
|
2021-07-28 12:51:07 +08:00
|
|
|
release 14.0.0. Here we describe the status of LLVM, including major improvements
|
2012-12-10 07:14:26 +08:00
|
|
|
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
|
2018-09-10 16:50:31 +08:00
|
|
|
from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

|
|
.. 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.

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).

2021-09-02 02:53:53 +08:00
|
|
|
* Using the legacy pass manager for the optimization pipeline is deprecated and
|
|
|
|
|
will be removed after LLVM 14. In the meantime, only minimal effort will be
|
|
|
|
|
made to maintain the legacy pass manager for the optimization pipeline.
|
2021-09-14 22:33:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* Max allowed integer type was reduced from 2^24-1 bits to 2^23 bits.
|
2021-10-12 01:19:43 +08:00
|
|
|
* Max allowed alignment was increased from 2^29 to 2^32.

|
|
|
|
2021-10-12 15:41:07 +08:00
|
|
|
* Added support for the Armv9-A, Armv9.1-A and Armv9.2-A architectures.
|
2021-09-22 21:56:30 +08:00
|
|
|
* The compiler now recognises the "tune-cpu" function attribute to support
|
2021-10-19 22:11:05 +08:00
|
|
|
the use of the -mtune frontend flag. This allows certain scheduling features
|
|
|
|
|
and optimisations to be enabled independently of the architecture. If the
|
|
|
|
|
"tune-cpu" attribute is absent it tunes according to the "target-cpu".
