- 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
