docs: Convert ReleaseNotes to reST.
This is the last of the "regular" documents to convert to reST, and so
I'm declaring the initial clang reST conversion "done".
However,
- There are some documents in clang/www/ which probably should
be migrated into clang/docs/, such as www/OpenProjects.html
The primary thing blocking me from doing this right now is not knowing
how to set up a redirect so that the old URL's continue to work.
- LibASTMatchersReference.html is not reST. This page is auto-generated
by clang/docs/tools/dump_ast_matchers.py from the source and has some
collapse/expand logic that isn't expressible directly with Sphinx, so
just converting it to reST is not really a good strategy.
Manuel Klimek and I discussed this and the general agreed-upon
direction is making that page data-driven so that it, say, pulls in an
auto-generated blob of JSON which describes the matchers and builds up
the "matcher reference" part of the page with a small amount of JS.
- There are some rogue .txt files hanging around.
Also, I dropped the little dragon logo at the top because Sphinx was
warning about an external image reference (not sure why, but meh, I
didn't want to fight it). If anything, we would want such a logo
integrated into the site's overall theme, rather than hardcoded here.

========================

|
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
- Use of the ``__declspec`` language extension for declaration attributes now
|
2015-05-27 03:56:13 +08:00
|
|
|
requires passing the -fms-extensions or -fborland compiler flag. This language
|
|
|
|
|
extension is also enabled when compiling CUDA code, but its use should be
|
|
|
|
|
viewed as an implementation detail that is subject to change.

The sized deallocation feature of C++14 is now controlled by the

|
|
|
|
``-fsized-deallocation`` flag. This feature relies on library support that

isn't yet widely deployed, so the user must supply an extra flag to get the

extra functionality.

docs: Convert ReleaseNotes to reST.
This is the last of the "regular" documents to convert to reST, and so
I'm declaring the initial clang reST conversion "done".
However,
- There are some documents in clang/www/ which probably should
be migrated into clang/docs/, such as www/OpenProjects.html
The primary thing blocking me from doing this right now is not knowing
how to set up a redirect so that the old URL's continue to work.
- LibASTMatchersReference.html is not reST. This page is auto-generated
by clang/docs/tools/dump_ast_matchers.py from the source and has some
collapse/expand logic that isn't expressible directly with Sphinx, so
just converting it to reST is not really a good strategy.
Manuel Klimek and I discussed this and the general agreed-upon
direction is making that page data-driven so that it, say, pulls in an
auto-generated blob of JSON which describes the matchers and builds up
the "matcher reference" part of the page with a small amount of JS.
- There are some rogue .txt files hanging around.
Also, I dropped the little dragon logo at the top because Sphinx was
warning about an external image reference (not sure why, but meh, I
didn't want to fight it). If anything, we would want such a logo
integrated into the site's overall theme, rather than hardcoded here.

A wide variety of additional information is available on the `Clang web
|
|
|
|
|
page <http://clang.llvm.org/>`_. The web page contains versions of the
|
|
|
|
|
API documentation which are up-to-date with the Subversion version of
|
|
|
|
|
the source code. You can access versions of these documents specific to
|
|
|
|
|
this release by going into the "``clang/docs/``" directory in the Clang
|
|
|
|
|
tree.
