This document contains the release notes for the Clang C/C++/Objective-C
|
2021-07-28 12:51:07 +08:00
|
|
|
frontend, part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 14.0.0. Here we

|
|
|
describe the status of Clang in some detail, including major
|
|
|
|
|
improvements from the previous release and new feature work. For the
|
|
|
|
|
general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM

|
|
- Attributes loaded as clang plugins which are sensitive to LangOpts must
|
|
|
|
|
now override ``acceptsLangOpts`` instead of ``diagLangOpts``.
|
|
|
|
|
Returning false will produce a generic "attribute ignored" diagnostic, as
|
|
|
|
|
with clang's built-in attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
If plugins want to provide richer diagnostics, they can do so when the
|
|
|
|
|
attribute is handled instead, e.g. in ``handleDeclAttribute``.
|
|
|
|
|
(This was changed in order to better support attributes in code completion).

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.
