Introduction

This document contains the release notes for the Clang C/C++/Objective-C
frontend, part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 11.0.0. 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 `the LLVM
documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM
releases may be downloaded from the `LLVM releases web
site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

For more information about Clang or LLVM, including information about the
latest release, please see the `Clang Web Site <https://clang.llvm.org>`_ or the

Note that if you are reading this file from a Git checkout or the
main Clang web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not
the current one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please

- Option ``IndentCaseBlocks`` has been added to support treating the block
  following a switch case label as a scope block which gets indented itself.
  It helps avoid having the closing bracket align with the switch statement's
  closing bracket (when ``IndentCaseLabels`` is ``false``).

- Option ``ObjCBreakBeforeNestedBlockParam`` has been added to optionally apply
  linebreaks for function arguments declarations before nested blocks.

  .. code-block:: c++

    switch (fool) {                vs.     switch (fool) {
    case 1:                                case 1: {
      {                                      bar();
         bar();                            } break;
      }                                    default: {
      break;                                 plop();
    default:                               }
      {                                    }
        plop();
      }
    }

- Option ``InsertTrailingCommas`` can be set to ``TCS_Wrapped`` to insert
  trailing commas in container literals (arrays and objects) that wrap across
  multiple lines. It is currently only available for JavaScript and disabled by
  default (``TCS_None``).
