Chris Lattnercaf06342007-05-09 04:58:11 +0000[diff] [blame]61<p>This is the eleventh public release of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure.
Chris Lattnerf01b0b52007-05-09 05:27:05 +0000[diff] [blame]62Being the first major release since 1.0, this release is different in several
63ways from our previous releases:</p>
64
65<ol>
66<li>We took this as an opportunity to
Chris Lattnercaf06342007-05-09 04:58:11 +0000[diff] [blame]67break backwards compatibility with the LLVM 1.x bytecode and .ll file format.
68If you have LLVM 1.9 .ll files that you would like to upgrade to LLVM 2.x, we
Lauro Ramos Venanciobe1b1b12007-05-12 02:36:41 +0000[diff] [blame]69recommend the use of the stand alone <a href="#llvm-upgrade">llvm-upgrade</a>
Chris Lattnercaf06342007-05-09 04:58:11 +0000[diff] [blame]70tool. We intend to keep compatibility with .ll and .bc formats within the 2.x
Chris Lattnerf01b0b52007-05-09 05:27:05 +0000[diff] [blame]71release series, like we did within the 1.x series.</li>
72<li>There are several significant change to the LLVM IR and internal APIs, such
73 as a major overhaul of the type system, the completely new bitcode file
74 format, etc.</li>
75<li>We designed the release around a 6 month release cycle instead of the usual
76 3-month cycle. This gave us extra time to develop and test some of the
77 more invasive features in this release.</li>
78<li>LLVM 2.0 no longer supports the llvm-gcc3 front-end.</li>
79</ol>
Chris Lattnercaf06342007-05-09 04:58:11 +0000[diff] [blame]80
Chris Lattnerf01b0b52007-05-09 05:27:05 +0000[diff] [blame]81<p>Note that while this is a major version bump, this release has been
82 extensively tested on a wide range of software. It is easy to say that this
83 is our best release yet, in terms of both features and correctness.</p>

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