- Update to 1.15.0
* Big news
- Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.085.1, incl. new
command-line options -preview, -revert, -checkaction=context,
-verrors-context and -extern-std. (#3003, #3039, #3053) (new)
+ The Objective-C improvements from DMD 2.085 are not implemented
(#3007)
- Support for LLVM 8.0. The prebuilt packages have been upgraded to
LLVM 8.0.0 and include the Khronos SPIRV-LLVM-Translator, so that
dcompute can now emit OpenCL too. (#3005)
- Compiler memory requirements can now be reduced via the new -lowmem
switch, which enables the garbage collector for the front-end and
sacrifices compile times for less required memory. In some cases, the
overall max process memory can be reduced by more than 60%; see #2916
(comment) for some numbers. (#2916)
+ Note for package maintainers: this feature requires a recent D host
compiler (most notably, it doesn't work with ltsmaster), ideally
LDC 1.15 itself due to important GC memory overhead improvements in
2.085 druntime.
- Support for generic @llvmAttr("name") parameter UDAs, incl. new
@restrict with C-like semantics. (#3043) (new)
- macOS: 32-bit support was dropped in the sense of not being CI-tested
anymore and the prebuilt macOS package now containing x86_64 libraries
only. MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the prebuilt package has been raised
from 10.8 to 10.9.
- Prebuilt packages don't depend on libtinfo and libedit anymore.
(#1827, #3019)
- x86: SSSE3 isn't required for the prebuilt packages and generated
optimized binaries anymore. (#3045) (new)
* Platform support
- Supports LLVM 3.9 - 8.0.
* Bug fixes
- Implicit cross-module-inlining of functions annotated with
pragma(inline, true) without explicit -enable-cross-module-inlining has
been restored. (#2552, #3014)
- Propagate well-known length of newly allocated dynamic arrays for
better optimizability. (#3041, #3042) (new)
- JIT: Support implicit __chkstk calls for Windows targets, e.g., for
large stack allocations. (#3051) (new)
- Update so_version to 85

- Update to 1.12.0:
* Big news
- Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.082.1.
(#2818, #2837, #2858, #2873) (new)
Significant performance improvements for some transcendental
std.math functions in single and double precision, at least
for x86. (dlang/phobos#6272 (comment))
- Support for LLVM 7, which is used for the prebuilt packages.
Due to an LLVM 7.0.0 regression, the prebuilt x86[_64] LDC
binaries require a CPU with SSSE3, and so will your optimized
binaries (unless compiling with -mattr=-ssse3). (#2850)
- JIT compilation: new ldc.dynamic_compile.bind function with
interface similar to C++ std::bind, allowing to generate
efficient specialized versions of functions (much like
Easy::jit for C++). (#2726)
- LTO now working for Win64 too; the prebuilt package includes
the required external LLD linker and the optional LTO default
libs. Enable as usual with -flto=<thin|full>
[-defaultlib=druntime-ldc-lto,phobos2-ldc-lto]. (#2774)
- Config file: new lib-dirs array for directories to be searched
for libraries, incl. LLVM compiler-rt libraries. (#2790)
* Platform support
- Supports LLVM 3.7 - 7.0.
- Windows: Supports Visual Studio/C++ Build Tools 2015 and 2017.
- Alpine linux/x64: built against Musl libc to support Docker
images based on the Alpine distro, requires the llvm5-libs,
musl-dev, and gcc packages to build and link D apps and the
tzdata and libcurl packages for certain stdlib modules.
- Android/ARM: This release slightly changes the way emulated TLS
is interfaced, but is missing a patch for 32-bit ARM. See the
wiki for instructions on patching that file manually before
cross-compiling the runtime libraries for 32-bit Android/ARM.
* Bug fixes
- Fix IR-based PGO on Windows (requires our LLVM fork). (#2539)
- Fix C++ class construction with D new on Posix. (#2801)
- Android: No more text relocations in Phobos zlib, required for
API level 23+. (#2822, #2835)
- Declare extern const/immutable globals as IR constants.
(#2849, #2852)
- Fix issue when emitting both object and textual assembly files
at once (-output-o -output-s). (#2847)
- Support address of struct member as key/value in AA literal.
(#2859, #2860)
- Fix ICE when computing addresses relative to functions/labels.
(#2865, #2867) (new)
- beta2 regression wrt. cross-compiling to Android. (#2863) (new)
- Fix so_version to 82

- Update to 1.11.0:
* Big news:
- Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.081.2.
(#2752, #2772, #2776, #2791, #2815) (new)
- Add some support for classes without TypeInfos, for
-betterC and/or a minimal (d)runtime. (#2765)
- LLVM for prebuilt packages upgraded to v6.0.1.
The x86_64 packages feature some more LLVM targets for
cross-compilation (experiments): MIPS, MSP430, RISC-V
and WebAssembly. (#2760)
- Rudimentary support for compiling & linking directly to
WebAssembly. See the dedicated Wiki page for how to get
started. (#2766, #2779, #2785)
- AArch64 (64-bit ARM) now mostly working on Linux/glibc
and Android. Current ltsmaster is able to bootstrap v1.11,
which can also bootstrap itself; most tests pass.
(Preliminary) CI has been set up. (#2802, #2817, #2813) (new)
- LDC on Windows now uses 80-bit compile-time reals. This allows
for seamless cross-compilation to other x86(_64) targets,
e.g., without real.min underflowing to 0 and real.max
overflowing to infinity. (#2752)
- New @naked UDA in ldc.attributes & enhanced functionality
for @llvmAttr("<name>"). (#2773)
* Platform support:
- Supports LLVM 3.7 - 6.0.
- Windows: Supports Visual Studio/C++ Build Tools 2015 and 2017.
- Alpine linux/x64: built against Musl libc to support Docker
images based on the Alpine distro, requires the llvm5-libs,
musl-dev, and gcc packages to build and link D apps and the
tzdata and libcurl packages for certain stdlib modules.
* Bug fixes:
- extern(C++) on Posix: Pass non-PODs indirectly by value.
(#2728)
- extern(C++) on Windows/MSVC: Methods return all structs via
hidden sret pointer. (#2720, #1935)
- Make GC2Stack IR optimization pass work as intended. (#2750)
- Work around inline assembly regression with LLVM 6 on Win32.
The prebuilt Win32 package is now using LLVM 6.0.1 too. (#2629, #2770)
- Fix overzealous check for multiple main() functions. (#2778) (new)
- Fix corrupt prefix in integrated LLD's console output. (#2781) (new)
- No context ptr for nested non-extern(D) functions. (#2808, #2809) (new)
* Known issues:
- LDC does not zero the padding area of a real variable. This may
lead to wrong results if the padding area is also considered.
See #770. Does not apply to real members inside structs etc.
- Update bootstrap version to 0.17.6:
* Added support for LLVM 6.0 and 7.0. (#2600, #2825)
* Backported AArch64 fixes from master; most tests passing on
Linux/glibc and Android
* Fix generation of debug info. (#2594)
* Added support for bootstrapping on DragonFly BSD
* Fixed missing definition in std.datetime on Solaris
* Fixed std.datetime unittest failure. (ldc-developers/phobos#59)
* Fixed tests for PowerPC. (#2634, #2635)
* Improvements for MIPS.
* Make core.stdc.stdarg.va_* functions nothrow to enable
compiling the 2.082 frontend. (#2821)
* CI updates.
- Remove upstreamed patches:
* ldc-0.17.5-add_missing_include.patch
* ldc-0.17.5-add_support_to_LLVM6.patch
* ldc-0.17.5-backport_pr_2315.patch
* ldc-0.17.5-default-to-pic.patch
- Enable aarch64 since it can be boostrapped with ldc 0.17.6
- Fix x86_64 build by adding '-fPIC' to C_FLAGS of bootstrap

- No support for Objective-C class/static methods yet. (#2670)
- Breaking Win64 extern(D) ABI change: Pass vectors directly
in registers, analogous to the MS vector calling convention.
(#2714)
- Config file: For cross-compilation, support additional
sections named as regex for specific target triples, e.g.,
"86(_64)?-.*-linux": { … };; see the comment in etc/ldc2.conf.
