 Release Notes</a>.</h1>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>
 <!-- ======================================================================= -->

 <p>This document contains the release notes for the Clang C/C++/Objective-C
 frontend, part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 3.1.  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 <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html">the LLVM
  documentation</a>. All LLVM releases may be downloaded from the
 <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">LLVM releases web site</a>.</p>

 <p>For more information about Clang or LLVM, including information about the
 latest release, please check out the main please see the
 <a href="http://clang.llvm.org">Clang Web Site</a> or the
 <a href="http://llvm.org">LLVM Web Site</a>.

 <p>Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the main
 Clang web page, this document applies to the <i>next</i> release, not the
 current one.  To see the release notes for a specific release, please see the
 <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">releases page</a>.</p>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <h2 id="whatsnew">What's New in Clang 3.1?</h2>
 <!-- ======================================================================= -->

 <p>Some of the major new features and improvements to Clang are listed here.
 Generic improvements to Clang as a whole or two its underlying infrastructure
 are described first, followed by language-specific sections with improvements to
 Clang's support for those languages.</p>

 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 <h3 id="majorfeatures">Major New Features</h3>
 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->

 <h4 id="majorfeature1">Feature 1</h4>
 ...

 <h4 id="diagnostics">New and better diagnostics</h4>

 <p>New: <code>-Wdangling-else</code>, <code>-Wstrncat-size</code>, ...</p>

 <p>Improved: <code>-Wformat</code>, <code>-Wempty-body</code>, ...</p>

 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 <h3 id="cchanges">C Language Changes in Clang</h3>
 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->

 <h4 id="c11changes">C11 Feature Support</h4>

 <p>Clang 3.1 adds support for anonymous structs and anonymous unions, added in
 the latest ISO C standard. Use <code>-std=c11</code> or <code>-std=gnu11</code>
 to enable support for the new language standard. The new C11 features are
 backwards-compatible and are available as an extension in all language
 modes.</p>

 <p>All warning and language selection flags which previously accepted
 <code>c1x</code> have been updated to accept <code>c11</code>. The old
 <code>c1x</code> forms have been removed.

 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 <h3 id="cxxchanges">C++ Language Changes in Clang</h3>
 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->

 <h4 id="cxx11changes">C++11 Feature Support</h4>
 <p>Clang 3.1 adds support for
 <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html#cxx11">more of the language
 features</a> added in the latest ISO C++ standard,
 <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=50372">C++ 2011</a>.
 Use <code>-std=c++11</code> or <code>-std=gnu++11</code> to enable support for
 these features. In addition to the features supported by Clang 3.0, the
 following are now considered to be of production quality:
 <ul>
   <li>Generalized constant expressions</li>
   <!--
   <li>Lambda expressions</li>
   <li>Generalized initializers</li>
   -->
 </ul>

 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 <h3 id="objcchanges">Objective-C Language Changes in Clang</h3>
 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 Clang 3.1 introduces several new Objective-C language features and improvements.

 <h4 id="objcwformat">Format string checking for NSString literals</h4>

 <code>-Wformat</code> now checks <code>@"nsstring literals"</code>.

 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->
 <h3 id="apichanges">Internal API Changes</h3>
 <!-- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -->

 These are major API changes that have happened since the 3.0 release of Clang.
 If upgrading an external codebase that uses Clang as a library, this section
 should help get you past the largest hurdles of upgrading.

 <h4 id="api1">API change 1</h4>

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <h2 id="knownproblems">Significant Known Problems</h2>
 <!-- ======================================================================= -->

 <!-- ======================================================================= -->
 <h2 id="additionalinfo">Additional Information</h2>
 <!-- ======================================================================= -->

 <p>A wide variety of additional information is available on the
 <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">Clang web page</a>.  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 "<tt>clang/doc/</tt>" directory in the Clang
 tree.</p>

 mailing list</a>.</p>
