Chris Lattner84977642007-09-21 03:54:09 +0000[diff] [blame^]73<p>LLVM 2.1 brings two new beta C front-ends. First, Duncan, Anton and Devang
74start syncing up llvm-gcc with GCC 4.2, yielding "llvm-gcc 4.2" (creative,
75huh?). llvm-gcc 4.2 has the promise to bring much better FORTRAN and Ada
76support to LLVM as well as features like atomic builtins, OpenMP, and many other
77things. Check it out!</p>

Chris Lattner84977642007-09-21 03:54:09 +0000[diff] [blame^]79<p>Second, LLVM now includes its own native C and Objective-C front-end (C++ is
80in progress, but is not very far along) code named "<a
81href="http://clang.llvm.org/">clang</a>". This front-end has a number of great
82features, primarily aimed at source-level analysis and speeding up compile-time.
83At this point though, the LLVM Code Generator component is still very early in
84development, so it's mostly useful for people looking to build source-level
85analysis tools or source-to-source translators.</p>

124<li>Dale finished up the Tail Merging optimization in the code generator,
125enabling it by default. This produces smaller code that is also faster in some
126cases.</li>
127
128<li>Dan Gohman changed the way we represent vectors before legalization,
129significantly simplifying the SelectionDAG representation for these and making
130the code generator faster for vector code.</li>
131
132<li>Evan remat rewrite (coallesced intervals + folding of remat'd loads) and
133live intervals improvements.</li>
134
135<li>Dan Gohman contributed support for better alignment and volatility handling
136in the code generator, and significantly enhanced alignment analysis for SSE
137load/store instructions.</li>
138
139<li>Christopher Lamb virtual register sub-register support, better truncates and
140extends on X86.</li>
141
142<li>Duraid Madina contributed a new "bigblock" register allocator, and Roman
143Levenstein contributed several big improvements. BigBlock is optimized for code
144that uses very large basic blocks. It is slightly slower than the "local"
145allocator, but produces much better code.</li>
146
147<li>David Greene refactored the register allocator to split coallescing out from
148allocation, making coallescers pluggable.</li>

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