Chris Lattner96a445e2008-10-13 18:01:01 +0000[diff] [blame]75The LLVM 2.4 distribution currently consists of code from the core LLVM
Chris Lattnerfb97b2d2008-10-13 18:11:54 +0000[diff] [blame]76repository (which roughly includes the LLVM optimizers, code generators and
Chris Lattner8348b472008-06-08 21:58:17 +0000[diff] [blame]77supporting tools) and the llvm-gcc repository. In addition to this code, the
78LLVM Project includes other sub-projects that are in development. The two which
Chris Lattner857fb132008-10-11 18:18:28 +0000[diff] [blame]79are the most actively developed are the <a href="#clang">Clang Project</a> and

93<p>The <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">Clang project</a> is an effort to build
94a set of new 'LLVM native' front-end technologies for the LLVM optimizer
95and code generator. Clang is continuing to make major strides forward in all
96areas. Its C and Objective-C parsing support is very solid, and the code
97generation support is far enough along to build many C applications. While not
98yet production quality, it is progressing very nicely. In addition, C++
99front-end work has started to make significant progress.</p>

Chris Lattner857fb132008-10-11 18:18:28 +0000[diff] [blame]156<p>LLVM 2.4 includes several major new capabilities:</p>
Chris Lattnerf3e5bc62007-05-14 06:56:09 +0000[diff] [blame]157
158<ul>
Chris Lattnerb82eb062008-10-13 20:47:20 +0000[diff] [blame^]159<li><p>The most visible end-user change in LLVM 2.4 is that it includes many
160optimizations and changes ot make -O0 compile times much faster. You should see
161improvements on the order of 30% or more faster than LLVM 2.3. There are many
162pieces to this change, described in more detail below. The speedups and new
163components can also be used for JIT compilers that want fast compilation as
164well.</p></li>
Chris Lattner857fb132008-10-11 18:18:28 +0000[diff] [blame]165
Chris Lattnerb82eb062008-10-13 20:47:20 +0000[diff] [blame^]166<li><p>The biggest change to the LLVM IR is that Multiple Return Values (which
167were introduced in LLVM 2.3) have been generalized to full support for "First
168Class Aggregate" values in LLVM 2.4. This means that LLVM IR supports using
169structs and arrays as values in a function. This capability is mostly useful
170for front-end authors, who prefer to treat things like complex numbers, simple
171tuples, dope vectors, etc as Value*'s instead of as a tuple of Value*'s or as
172memory values.</p></li>
Mikhail Glushenkovea65d7d2008-10-13 02:08:34 +0000[diff] [blame]173
Chris Lattnerb82eb062008-10-13 20:47:20 +0000[diff] [blame^]174<li><p>LLVM 2.4 also includes an initial port for the PIC16 microprocessor. This
175is the LLVM targer that only has support for 8 bit registers, and a number of
176other crazy constraints. While the port is still in early development stages,
177it shows some interesting things you can do with LLVM.</p></li>

197supported those used by OpenMP, but 2.4 supports them all. Not all targets
198support all builtins, but X86 and PowerPC do.</li>
Chris Lattnerf8e0b4e2008-06-08 22:59:35 +0000[diff] [blame]199
Chris Lattnerb82eb062008-10-13 20:47:20 +0000[diff] [blame^]200<li>llvm-gcc now supports an -flimited-precision option, which tells the
201compiler that it is ok to use low-precision approximations of certain libm
202functions (like tan, log, etc). This allows you to get high performance if you
203only need (say) 14-bits of precision.</li>
204
205<li>llvm-gcc now supports a C language extension known as "<a
206href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2008-August/002670.html">Blocks
207</a>. This feature is similar to nested functions and closures, but does not
208require stack trampolines (with most ABIs) and supports returning closures
209from functions that define them. Note that actually <em>using</em> Blocks
210requires a small runtime that is not included with llvm-gcc.</li>
211
212<li>llvm-gcc now supports a new <tt>-flto</tt> option. On systems that support
213transparent Link Time Optimization (currently Darwin systems with Xcode 3.1 and
214later) this allows the use of LTO with other optimization levels like -Os.
215Previously, LTO could only be used with -O4, which implied optimizations in
216-O3 that can increase code size.</li>
