The primary thing blocking me from doing this right now is not knowing

- 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.

Improvements to Clang's diagnostics

|
|
- ``-Wc++98-compat-extra-semi`` is a new flag, which was previously inseparable
|
|
|
|
|
from ``-Wc++98-compat-pedantic``. The latter still controls the new flag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``-Wextra-semi`` now also controls ``-Wc++98-compat-extra-semi``.
|
|
|
|
|
Please do note that if you pass ``-Wno-c++98-compat-pedantic``, it implies
|
|
|
|
|
``-Wno-c++98-compat-extra-semi``, so if you want that diagnostic, you need
|
|
|
|
|
to explicitly re-enable it (e.g. by appending ``-Wextra-semi``).
|
[Sema] -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant: don't warn for system macros other than NULL.
Summary:
The warning was initially introduced in D32914 by @thakis,
and the concerns were raised there, and later in rL302247
and PR33771.
I do believe that it makes sense to relax the diagnostic
e.g. in this case, when the expression originates from the
system header, which can not be modified. This prevents
adoption for the diagnostic for codebases which use pthreads
(`PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER`), gtest, etc.
As @malcolm.parsons suggests, it *may* make sense to also
not warn for the template types, but it is not obvious to
me how to do that in here.
Though, it still makes sense to complain about `NULL` macro.
While there, add more tests.

[Sema] Extend -Wself-assign and -Wself-assign-field to warn on overloaded self-assignment (classes)
Summary:
This has just bit me, so i though it would be nice to avoid that next time :)
Motivational case:
https://godbolt.org/g/cq9UNk
Basically, it's likely to happen if you don't like shadowing issues,
and use `-Wshadow` and friends. And it won't be diagnosed by clang.
The reason is, these self-assign diagnostics only work for builtin assignment
operators. Which makes sense, one could have a very special operator=,
that does something unusual in case of self-assignment,
so it may make sense to not warn on that.
But while it may be intentional in some cases, it may be a bug in other cases,
so it would be really great to have some diagnostic about it...

[Sema] Add -Wno-self-assign-overloaded
Summary:
It seems there isn't much enthusiasm for `-wtest` D45685.
This is more conservative version, which i had in the very first
revision of D44883, but that 'erroneously' got removed because of the review.
**Based on some [irc] discussions, it must really be documented that
we want all the new diagnostics to have their own flags, to ease
rollouts, transitions, etc.**
Please do note that i'm only adding `-Wno-self-assign-overloaded`,
but not `-Wno-self-assign-field-overloaded`, because i'm honestly
not aware of any false-positives from the `-field` variant,
but i can just as easily add it if wanted.

- Clang binary and libraries have been renamed from 7.0 to 7.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the ``clang`` binary will be called ``clang-7``
|
|
|
|
|
instead of ``clang-7.0``.

Rename clang link from clang-X.Y to clang-X
Summary:
As we are only doing X.0.Z releases (not using the minor version), there is no need to keep -X.Y in the version.
So, instead, I propose the following:
Instead of having clang-7.0 in bin/, we will have clang-7

|
- Clang implements a collection of recent fixes to the C++ standard's definition
|
|
|
|
|
of "standard-layout". In particular, a class is only considered to be
|
|
|
|
|
standard-layout if all base classes and the first data member (or bit-field)
|
|
|
|
|
can be laid out at offset zero.
|

|
|
|
2018-04-29 12:55:46 +08:00
|
|
|
- Clang's handling of the GCC ``packed`` class attribute in C++ has been fixed
|
|
|
|
|
to apply only to non-static data members and not to base classes. This fixes
|
|
|
|
|
an ABI difference between Clang and GCC, but creates an ABI difference between
|
|
|
|
|
Clang 7 and earlier versions. The old behavior can be restored by setting
|
|
|
|
|
``-fclang-abi-compat`` to ``6`` or earlier.

|
|
2018-05-07 14:43:30 +08:00
|
|
|
- Clang implements the proposed resolution of LWG issue 2358, along with the
|
|
|
|
|
`corresponding change to the Itanium C++ ABI
|
|
|
|
|
<https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/pull/51>`_, which make classes
|
|
|
|
|
containing only unnamed non-zero-length bit-fields be considered non-empty.
|
|
|
|
|
This is an ABI break compared to prior Clang releases, but makes Clang
|
|
|
|
|
generate code that is ABI-compatible with other compilers. The old
|
|
|
|
|
behavior can be restored by setting ``-fclang-abi-compat`` to ``6`` or
|
|
|
|
|
lower.

- An existing tool named ``diagtool`` has been added to the release. As the

finding out the warning hierarchy, and which of them are enabled by default

or for a particular compiler invocation.

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.

When a floating-point value is not representable in a destination integer

type, the code has undefined behavior according to the language standard. By

default, Clang will not guarantee any particular result in that case. With the

'no-strict' option, Clang attempts to match the overflowing behavior of the

target's native float-to-int conversion instructions.

- Before Clang 7, we prepended the `#` character to the `--autocomplete`
|
2018-03-08 09:37:39 +08:00
|
|
|
argument to enable cc1 flags. For example, when the `-cc1` or `-Xclang` flag
|
|
|
|
|
is in the :program:`clang` invocation, the shell executed
|
2018-04-04 17:38:22 +08:00
|
|
|
`clang --autocomplete=#-<flag to be completed>`. Clang 7 now requires the
|
2018-03-08 09:37:39 +08:00
|
|
|
whole invocation including all flags to be passed to the `--autocomplete` like
|
|
|
|
|
this: `clang --autocomplete=-cc1,-xc++,-fsyn`.

Attribute Changes in Clang

|
--------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
2018-01-09 07:36:29 +08:00
|
|
|
- Clang now supports function multiversioning with attribute 'target' on ELF
|
|
|
|
|
based x86/x86-64 environments by using indirect functions. This implementation
|
|
|
|
|
has a few minor limitations over the GCC implementation for the sake of AST
|
|
|
|
|
sanity, however it is otherwise compatible with existing code using this
|
|
|
|
|
feature for GCC. Consult the documentation for the target attribute for more
|
|
|
|
|
information.

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.

CUDA Support in Clang
|

|
---------------------

|
|
- Clang will now try to locate the CUDA installation next to :program:`ptxas`
|
|

|
|
in the `PATH` environment variable. This behavior can be turned off by passing
|
|
|
|
|
the new flag `--cuda-path-ignore-env`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Clang now supports generating object files with relocatable device code. This
|
|
|
|
|
feature needs to be enabled with `-fcuda-rdc` and my result in performance
|
|
|
|
|
penalties compared to whole program compilation. Please note that NVIDIA's
|
|
|
|
|
:program:`nvcc` must be used for linking.
