LLVM Weekly - #46, Nov 17th 2014 =============================== If you prefer, you can read a HTML version of this email at <http://llvmweekly.org/issue/46>. Welcome to the forty-sixth issue of LLVM Weekly, a weekly newsletter (published every Monday) covering developments in LLVM, Clang, and related projects. LLVM Weekly is brought to you by [Alex Bradbury](http://asbradbury.org). Subscribe to future issues at <http://llvmweekly.org> and pass it on to anyone else you think may be interested. Please send any tips or feedback to <asb at asbradbury.org>, or @llvmweekly or @asbradbury on Twitter. ## News and articles from around the web Chrome on Linux [now uses Clang for production builds](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/39700). Clang has of course been used on OS X Chrome for quite some time. The switch saw reduction in binary size of ~8%, but this was vs GCC 4.6 rather than something more up-to-date. The LLVM in HPC workshop at SC14 is taking place on Monday and the full agenda with abstracts [is available online](http://llvm-hpc-workshop.github.io/) ## On the mailing lists * Duncan P.N. Exon Smith has posted an [RFC on splitting out metadata from the Value hierarchy](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78738). There seems to be general support for the idea. If you have concerns, now is the time to speak up. * Tom Stellard has posted a proposed [LLVM/Clang 3.5.1 release schedule](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/78752). RC1 is currently planned for November 26th. * Zachary Turner raised the issue [referencing Apple rdar bugs in commit messages](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.lldb.devel/5710). The concern is that sometimes the commit messages are hard to work out without the context of the bug, which many of us do not have access to. ## LLVM commits * Work on call lowering for MIPS FastISel has started. [r221948](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221948). * Work has started on an assembler for the R600 backend. [r221994](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221994). * A pass implementing forward control-flow integrity as been added. [r221708](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221708). * A whole slew of patches that made MDNode a Value have been reverted due to a change in plan. The aim is now to separate metadata from the Value hierarchy. [r221711](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221711). * There are two ways to inform the optimizer the result of a load is never null. Either with metadata or via assume. The latter is now canonicalized into the former. [r221737](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221737). * `vec_vsx_ld` and `vec_vsx_st` intrinsics have been added for PowerPC. [r221767](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221767). * PowerPC gained support for small-model PIC. [r221791](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221791). * The llvm.arm.space intrinsic was added to make it easier to write tests for ARM ConstantIslands. [r221903](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221903). ## Clang commits * The constant trickle of OpenMP patches continues. Codegen for threadprivate variables has been added. [r221663](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221663). * Support for `__has_cpp_attribute` is now present. [r221991](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221991). ## Other project commits * Breakpoint stop/resume has been implemented on Windows for LLDB. [r221642](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221642). * The [libcxx status page](http://libcxx.llvm.org/cxx1z_status.html) has been updated with the current state of C++1z support. [r221601](http://reviews.llvm.org/rL221601)).
In other projects, you can add than since r221831, «lld now bootstraps on darwin» which is probably noteworthy ;-)> Le 17 nov. 2014 à 15:04, Alex Bradbury <asb at asbradbury.org> a écrit : > > LLVM Weekly - #46, Nov 17th 2014 > ===============================> > If you prefer, you can read a HTML version of this email at > <http://llvmweekly.org/issue/46>. > > Welcome to the forty-sixth issue of LLVM Weekly, a weekly newsletter > (published every Monday) covering developments in LLVM, Clang, and related > projects.
