- Old JIT is removed.
- Improvements to debug information handling.
- ARM: check for deprecated instructions and warn in the integrated
assembler
- PPC: VSX support, va_arg support for struct/union types, -fPIC vs
-fpic supported, faster atomics
- x86: improved vectorizer
- match ARM CPU default of GCC
- better support for SPARC64
- type checkings for abs/fabs
- null pointer checks against struct member
- various other improvements
- Improvements in the SPARC64 support
- ARM backend can almost build a full NetBSD/EABI system with the
integrated assembler
- PowerPC grows disassembler support
- LLD supports copy relocation, beginning of MIPS backend
- New diagnostic for use of bool expression as size_t argument for
strncmp and friends
to the new SLP vectorizer, fast codegen support for PPC and using
terminfo for the color sequences. In addition, add (optional) build
infrastructure for lld to allow easier testing. This is controlled by
MKLLD.
