|
| 1 | +New features: |
| 2 | +- Support `_Static_assert` from ISO C11. |
| 3 | +- Support `__builtin_constant_p` from GCC and Clang. |
| 4 | +- New port: x86 64 bits Windows with the Cygwin 64 environment. |
| 5 | + (configure with target `x86_64-cygwin`). |
| 6 | +- The following built-in functions are now available for all ports: |
| 7 | + `__builtin_sqrt`, `__builtin_fabsf`, and all variants of |
| 8 | + `__builtin_clz` and `__builtin_ctz`. |
| 9 | +- Added `__builtin_fmin` and `__builtin_fmax` for AArch64. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Removed features: |
| 12 | +- The x86 32 bits port is no longer supported under macOS. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Compiler internals: |
| 15 | +- Simpler translation of CompCert C casts used for their effects but |
| 16 | + not for their values. |
| 17 | +- Known builtins whose results are unused are eliminated earlier. |
| 18 | +- Improved error reporting for `++` and `--` applied to pointers to |
| 19 | + incomplete types. |
| 20 | +- Improved error reporting for redefinitions and implicit definitions |
| 21 | + of built-in functions. |
| 22 | +- Added formal semantics for some PowerPC built-ins. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The clightgen tool: |
| 25 | +- New `-canonical-idents` mode, selected by default, to change the way |
| 26 | + C identifiers are encoded as CompCert idents (positive numbers). |
| 27 | + In `-canonical-idents` mode, a fixed one-to-one encoding is used |
| 28 | + so that the same identifier occurring in different compilation units |
| 29 | + encodes to the same number. |
| 30 | +- The `-short-idents` flag restores the previous encoding where |
| 31 | + C identifiers are consecutively numbered in order of appearance, |
| 32 | + causing the same identifier to have different numbers in different |
| 33 | + compilation units. |
| 34 | +- Removed the automatic translation of annotation builtins to Coq |
| 35 | + logical assertions, which was never used and possibly confusing. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Coq and OCaml development: |
| 38 | +- Compatibility with Coq 8.12.0, 8.11.2, 8.11.1. |
| 39 | +- Can use already-installed Flocq and MenhirLib libraries instead of their |
| 40 | + local copies (options `-use-external-Flocq` and `-use-external-MenhirLib` |
| 41 | + to the `configure` script). |
| 42 | +- Automatically build to OCaml bytecode on platforms where OCaml |
| 43 | + native-code compilation is not available. |
| 44 | +- Install the `compcert.config` summary of configuration choices |
| 45 | + in the same directory as the Coq development. |
| 46 | +- Updated the list of dual-licensed source files. |
| 47 | + |
