82<p>The LLVM 3.0 distribution currently consists of code from the core LLVM
83 repository (which roughly includes the LLVM optimizers, code generators and
84 supporting tools), the Clang repository and the llvm-gcc repository. In
85 addition to this code, the LLVM Project includes other sub-projects that are
86 in development. Here we include updates on these subprojects.</p>

98 language standards, fast compilation, and low memory use. Like LLVM, Clang
99 provides a modular, library-based architecture that makes it suitable for

172<p>The new LLVM <a href="http://compiler-rt.llvm.org/">compiler-rt project</a>
173 is a simple library that provides an implementation of the low-level
174 target-specific hooks required by code generation and other runtime
175 components. For example, when compiling for a 32-bit target, converting a
176 double to a 64-bit unsigned integer is compiled into a runtime call to the
177 "__fixunsdfdi" function. The compiler-rt library provides highly optimized
178 implementations of this and other low-level routines (some are 3x faster than
179 the equivalent libgcc routines).</p>

378 gwScript contains definitions that expand the namespaces. So you can build
379 your project and simply 'plug out' features by removing a file. The remaining

381 'template' feature of gwX. It is also possible to add new features to a

Chris Lattner61358ab2009-10-13 17:48:04 +0000[diff] [blame]708<p>LLVM IR has several new features for better support of new targets and that
Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]709 expose new optimization opportunities:</p>
Chris Lattnerf304ffc2008-02-10 08:17:19 +0000[diff] [blame]710
Bill Wendlingbc5f6dd2011-10-26 18:33:01 +0000[diff] [blame]711<p>One of the biggest changes is that 3.0 has a new exception handling
712 system. The old system used LLVM intrinsics to convey the exception handling
713 information to the code generator. It worked in most cases, but not
714 all. Inlining was especially difficult to get right. Also, the intrinsics
715 could be moved away from the <code>invoke</code> instruction, making it hard
716 to recover that information.</p>
717
718<p>The new EH system makes exception handling a first-class member of the IR. It
719 adds two new instructions:</p>
720
Chris Lattner791f77b2008-06-05 06:25:56 +0000[diff] [blame]721<ul>
Bill Wendlingbc5f6dd2011-10-26 18:33:01 +0000[diff] [blame]722 <li><a href="LangRef.html#i_landingpad"><code>landingpad</code></a> &mdash;
723 this instruction defines a landing pad basic block. It contains all of the
724 information that's needed by the code generator. It's also required to be
725 the first non-PHI instruction in the landing pad. In addition, a landing
726 pad may be jumped to only by the unwind edge of an <code>invoke</code>
727 instruction.</li>
728
729 <li><a href="LangRef.html#i_resume"><code>resume</code></a> &mdash; this
730 instruction causes the current exception to resume traveling up the
731 stack. It replaces the <code>@llvm.eh.resume</code> intrinsic.</li>
Chris Lattnerf304ffc2008-02-10 08:17:19 +0000[diff] [blame]732</ul>

Bill Wendlingbc5f6dd2011-10-26 18:33:01 +0000[diff] [blame]734<p>Converting from the old EH API to the new EH API is rather simple, because a
735 lot of complexity has been removed. The two intrinsics,
736 <code>@llvm.eh.exception</code> and <code>@llvm.eh.selector</code> have been
737 superceded by the <code>landingpad</code> instruction. Instead of generating
738 a call to <code>@llvm.eh.exception</code> and <code>@llvm.eh.selector</code>:
739
740<div class="doc_code">
741<pre>
742Function *ExcIntr = Intrinsic::getDeclaration(TheModule,
743 Intrinsic::eh_exception);
744Function *SlctrIntr = Intrinsic::getDeclaration(TheModule,
745 Intrinsic::eh_selector);
746
747// The exception pointer.
748Value *ExnPtr = Builder.CreateCall(ExcIntr, "exc_ptr");
749
750std::vector&lt;Value*&gt; Args;
751Args.push_back(ExnPtr);
752Args.push_back(Builder.CreateBitCast(Personality,
753 Type::getInt8PtrTy(Context)));
754
755<i>// Add selector clauses to Args.</i>
756
757// The selector call.
758Builder.CreateCall(SlctrIntr, Args, "exc_sel");
759</pre>
760</div>
761
762<p>You should instead generate a <code>landingpad</code> instruction, that
763 returns an exception object and selector value:</p>
764
765<div class="doc_code">
766<pre>
767LandingPadInst *LPadInst =
768 Builder.CreateLandingPad(StructType::get(Int8PtrTy, Int32Ty, NULL),
769 Personality, 0);
770
771Value *LPadExn = Builder.CreateExtractValue(LPadInst, 0);
772Builder.CreateStore(LPadExn, getExceptionSlot());
773
774Value *LPadSel = Builder.CreateExtractValue(LPadInst, 1);
775Builder.CreateStore(LPadSel, getEHSelectorSlot());
776</pre>
777</div>
778
779<p>It's now trivial to add the individual clauses to the <code>landingpad</code>
780 instruction.</p>
781
782<div class="doc_code">
783<pre>
784<i><b>// Adding a catch clause</b></i>
785Constant *TypeInfo = getTypeInfo();
786LPadInst-&gt;addClause(TypeInfo);
787
788<i><b>// Adding a C++ catch-all</b></i>
789LPadInst-&gt;addClause(Constant::getNullValue(Builder.getInt8PtrTy()));
790
791<i><b>// Adding a cleanup</b></i>
792LPadInst-&gt;setCleanup(true);
793
794<i><b>// Adding a filter clause</b></i>
795std::vector&lt;Constant*&gt; TypeInfos;
796Constant *TypeInfo = getFilterTypeInfo();
797TypeInfos.push_back(Builder.CreateBitCast(TypeInfo, Builder.getInt8PtrTy()));
798
799ArrayType *FilterTy = ArrayType::get(Int8PtrTy, TypeInfos.size());
800LPadInst-&gt;addClause(ConstantArray::get(FilterTy, TypeInfos));
801</pre>
802</div>
803
804<p>Converting from using the <code>@llvm.eh.resume</code> intrinsic to
805 the <code>resume</code> instruction is trivial. It takes the exception
806 pointer and exception selector values returned by
807 the <code>landingpad</code> instruction:</p>
808
809<div class="doc_code">
810<pre>
811Type *UnwindDataTy = StructType::get(Builder.getInt8PtrTy(),
812 Builder.getInt32Ty(), NULL);
813Value *UnwindData = UndefValue::get(UnwindDataTy);
814Value *ExcPtr = Builder.CreateLoad(getExceptionObjSlot());
815Value *ExcSel = Builder.CreateLoad(getExceptionSelSlot());
816UnwindData = Builder.CreateInsertValue(UnwindData, ExcPtr, 0, "exc_ptr");
817UnwindData = Builder.CreateInsertValue(UnwindData, ExcSel, 1, "exc_sel");

853 problems in the realm of assembly, disassembly, object file format handling,
854 and a number of other related areas that CPU instruction-set level tools work

988<ul>
Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]989 <li>The biggest and most pervasive change is that llvm::Type's are no longer
990 returned or accepted as 'const' values. Instead, just pass around
991 non-const Type's.</li>
Chris Lattnerd1324302011-07-18 04:56:02 +0000[diff] [blame]992
Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]993 <li><code>PHINode::reserveOperandSpace</code> has been removed. Instead, you
994 must specify how many operands to reserve space for when you create the
995 PHINode, by passing an extra argument
996 into <code>PHINode::Create</code>.</li>

999 the list of incoming BasicBlocks is stored separately, and can be accessed
1000 with new functions <code>PHINode::block_begin</code>
1001 and <code>PHINode::block_end</code>.</li>

1004 pair of pointers (or iterators) to the beginning and end of a range, or a
1005 pointer and a length. Others now return an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead
1006 of a reference to a <code>SmallVector</code>

1054 LLVM <code>unwind</code> instruction has been deprecated for a long time
1055 and isn't used by the current front-ends. So this was removed during the
1056 exception handling rewrite.</li>

Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]1066 <li>The way the type system works has been
1067 rewritten: <code>PATypeHolder</code> and <code>OpaqueType</code> are gone,
1068 and all APIs deal with <code>Type*</code> instead of <code>const
1069 Type*</code>. If you need to create recursive structures, then create a
1070 named structure, and use <code>setBody()</code> when all its elements are
1071 built. Type merging and refining is gone too: named structures are not
1072 merged with other structures, even if their layout is identical. (of
1073 course anonymous structures are still uniqued by layout).</li>

Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]1275<p><b>LLVM 2.9 was the last release of llvm-gcc.</b></p>

Chris Lattner3016ee92010-09-29 05:34:42 +0000[diff] [blame]1277<p>llvm-gcc is generally very stable for the C family of languages. The only
1278 major language feature of GCC not supported by llvm-gcc is the
1279 <tt>__builtin_apply</tt> family of builtins. However, some extensions
1280 are only supported on some targets. For example, trampolines are only
1281 supported on some targets (these are used when you take the address of a
1282 nested function).</p>

Chris Lattner3016ee92010-09-29 05:34:42 +0000[diff] [blame]1284<p>Fortran support generally works, but there are still several unresolved bugs
1285 in <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">Bugzilla</a>. Please see the
1286 tools/gfortran component for details. Note that llvm-gcc is missing major
1287 Fortran performance work in the frontend and library that went into GCC after
1288 4.2. If you are interested in Fortran, we recommend that you consider using
1289 <a href="#dragonegg">dragonegg</a> instead.</p>

Bill Wendling7b7fa742011-10-26 18:46:16 +0000[diff] [blame]1292 actively maintained. If you are interested in Ada, we recommend that you
