This is the third public release of the LLVM compiler infrastructure. This
release incorporates several < a href = "#newfeatures" > new features< / a > (including
exception handling support for the native code generators, the start of a
source-level debugger, and profile guided optimizer components), many < a
href="#qualityofimp">speedups< / a > and < a href = "#codequality" > code quality< / a >
improvements, documentation improvements, and a small collection of important < a
href="bugfix">bug fixes< / a > . Overall, this is our highest quality release to
date, and we encourage you to upgrade if you are using LLVM 1.0 or 1.1.

At this time, LLVM is known to correctly compile and run all C & C++ SPEC
CPU2000 benchmarks, the Olden benchmarks, and the Ptrdist benchmarks. It has
also been used to compile < b > many< / b > other programs. LLVM now also works with
a broad variety of C++ programs, though it has still received less testing than
the C front-end.

2004-02-23 11:51:34 +08:00
< li > LLVM 1.2 encodes bytecode files for large programs in 10-30% less space.< / li >
2004-03-11 08:50:54 +08:00
< li > LLVM can now feed profile information back into optimizers for Profile Guided Optimization, includes a simple basic block reordering pass, and supports edge profiling as well as function and block-level profiling.< / li >
2004-02-23 11:51:34 +08:00
< li > The LLVM JIT lazily initializes global variables, reducing startup time for programs with lots of globals (like C++ programs).< / li >
2004-02-26 00:36:51 +08:00
< li > The build and installation infrastructure in this release is dramatically
improved. There is now an < a

that you can run to rebuild the < tt > configure< / tt > script and its associated

2004-03-11 08:50:54 +08:00
< li > It can now fold spill code into instructions (on targets that support it).< / li >
< li > A generic machine code spiller/rewriter was added. It provides an API for
global register allocators to eliminate virtual registers and add the
appropriate spill code.< / li >
< li > The represenation of machine code basic blocks is more efficient and has
an easier to use interface.< / li >
2004-02-27 13:26:23 +08:00

2004-02-26 00:36:51 +08:00
< li > The X86 backend now generates < b > substantially< / b > better native code, and is faster.< / li >
< li > The C backend has been turned moved from the "llvm-dis" tool to the "llc"
tool. You can activate it with "< tt > llc -march=c foo.bc -o foo.c< / tt > ".< / li >
2004-02-26 16:02:57 +08:00
< li > LLVM includes a new interprocedural optimization that marks global variables
"constant" when they are provably never written to.< / li >
2004-03-11 08:50:54 +08:00
< li > LLVM now includes a new interprocedural optimization that converts small "by reference" arguments to "by value" arguments, which is often improve the performance of C++ programs substantially.< / li >
2004-03-17 11:54:41 +08:00
< li > Bugpoint can now do a better job reducing miscompilation problems by
reducing programs down to a particular loop nest, instead of just the function
being miscompiled.< / li >
< li > The GCSE and LICM passes can now operate on side-effect-free function calls, for example hoisting calls to "< tt > strlen< / tt > " and folding "< tt > cos< / tt > " common subexpressions.< / li >
< li > LLVM has early support for a new < a
href="LangRef.html#i_select">< tt > select< / tt > < / a > instruction, though it is
currently only supported by the C backend.< / li >

< p > LLVM has been extensively tested on Intel and AMD machines running Red
2003-12-14 13:03:43 +08:00
Hat Linux and FreeBSD. It has also been tested on Sun UltraSPARC workstations running Solaris 8.
2003-12-13 03:54:20 +08:00
Additionally,
2003-12-19 00:43:17 +08:00
LLVM works on Mac OS X 10.3 and above, but only with the C backend or
2003-12-12 12:25:33 +08:00
interpreter (no native backend for the PowerPC is available yet).
2003-10-03 00:38:05 +08:00
The core LLVM infrastructure uses "autoconf" for portability, so hopefully we
2003-11-08 13:22:09 +08:00
work on more platforms than that. However, it is likely that we
2003-12-19 00:43:17 +08:00
missed something and that minor porting is required to get LLVM to work on
2003-11-22 08:38:41 +08:00
new platforms. We welcome portability patches and error messages.< / p >

The following components of this LLVM release are either untested, known to be
broken or unreliable, or are in early development. These components should not
be relied on, and bugs should not be filed against them, but they may be useful
to some people. In particular, if you would like to work on one of these
components, please contact us on the llvmdev list.

This document, which is not Itanium specific, specifies a standard for name
mangling, class layout, v-table layout, RTTI formats, and other C++
representation issues. Because we use this API, code generated by the LLVM
compilers should be binary compatible with machine code generated by other
Itanium ABI C++ compilers (such as G++, the Intel and HP compilers, etc).
