<div class="doc_text">
-<p>LLVM 2.2 fully supports both the llvm-gcc 4.0 and llvm-gcc 4.2 front-ends (in
-LLVM 2.1, llvm-gcc 4.2 was beta). Since LLVM 2.1, the llvm-gcc 4.2 front-end
-has made leaps and bounds and is now at least as good as 4.0 in virtually every
-area, and is better in several areas (for example, exception handling
-correctness, support for Ada and Fortran, better ABI compatibility, etc). We
-strongly recommend that you
-migrate from llvm-gcc 4.0 to llvm-gcc 4.2 in this release cycle because
-<b>LLVM 2.2 is the last release that will support llvm-gcc 4.0</b>: LLVM 2.3
-will only support the llvm-gcc 4.2 front-end.</p>
+<p>LLVM 2.3 fully supports llvm-gcc 4.2 front-end. </p>
<p>The <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">clang project</a> is an effort to build
a set of new 'llvm native' front-end technologies for the LLVM optimizer
nicely, and it has advanced source-to-source analysis and transformation
capabilities. If you are interested in building source-level tools for C and
Objective-C (and eventually C++), you should take a look. However, note that
-clang is not an official part of the LLVM 2.2 release. If you are interested in
+clang is not an official part of the LLVM 2.3 release. If you are interested in
this project, please see its <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">web site</a>.</p>

<div class="doc_text">
-<p>LLVM 2.2 includes several major new capabilities:</p>
+<p>LLVM 2.3 includes several major new capabilities:</p>
<ul>
-<li>A research team led by Scott Michel in the Computer Systems Research
-Department at The Aerospace Corporation contributed the CellSPU backend, which
-generates code for the vector coprocessors on the Sony/Toshiba/IBM Cell BE
-processor. llvm-gcc 4.2 supports CellSPU as a 'configure' target and progress
-is being made so that libgcc.a compiles cleanly. Notable pieces still in
-development include full 64-bit integer and full double precision floating
-point support.</li>
-
-<li>Anton and Duncan significantly improved llvm-gcc 4.2 support for the GCC Ada
-(GNAT) and Fortran (gfortran) front-ends. These front-ends should still be considered
-experimental however: see the <a href="#knownproblems">list of known problems</a>.
-The release binaries do not contain either front-end: they need to be built from
-source (the Ada front-end only builds on x86-32 linux).</li>
-
-<li>Dale contributed full support for long double on x86/x86-64 (where it is 80
-bits) and on Darwin PPC/PPC64 (where it is 128 bits). In previous LLVM
-releases, llvm-gcc silently mapped long double to double.</li>
-
-<li>Gordon Henriksen rewrote most of the <a href="GarbageCollection.html"
->Accurate Garbage Collection</a> code in the code generator, making the
-generated code more efficient and adding support for the OCaml garbage collector
-metadata format.</li>
-
-<li>Christopher Lamb contributed support for multiple address spaces in LLVM
-IR. This is useful for supporting targets that have 'near' vs 'far' pointers,
-'RAM' vs 'ROM' pointers, or that have non-local memory that can be accessed with
-special instructions.</li>
-
-<li>LLVM now includes a new set of detailed <a
-href="tutorial/index.html">tutorials</a>, which explain how to implement a
-language with LLVM and shows how to use several important APIs.</li>
-
</ul>
</div>
</p>
<ul>
-<li>Gordon contributed support for C and OCaml Bindings for the basic LLVM IR
-construction routines as well as several other auxiliary APIs.</li>
-
-<li>Anton added readnone/readonly attributes for modeling function side effects.
-Duncan hooked up GCC's pure/const attributes to them and enhanced mod/ref
-analysis to use them.</li>
-
-<li>Devang added LLVMFoldingBuilder, a version of LLVMBuilder that implicitly
-simplifies the code as it is constructed.</li>
-
-<li>Ted Kremenek added a framework for generic object serialization to bitcode
-files. This support is only used by clang right now for ASTs but is extensible
-and could be used for serializing arbitrary other data into bitcode files.</li>
-
-<li>Duncan improved TargetData to distinguish between the size/alignment of a
-type in a register, in memory according to the platform ABI, and in memory when
-we have a choice.</li>
-
-<li>Reid moved parameter attributes off of FunctionType and onto functions
-and calls. This makes it much easier to add attributes to a function in a
-transformation pass.</li>
-
-<li>Dan Gohman added support for vector sin, cos, and pow intrinsics.</li>
</ul>
faster:</p>
<ul>
-
-<li>Owen refactored the existing LLVM dominator and loop information code to
-allow it work on the machine code representation. He contributed support for
-dominator and loop information on machine code and merged the code for forward
-and backward dominator computation.</li>
-
-<li>Dan added support for emitting debug information with .file and .loc
-directives on platforms that support it, instead of emitting large tables in the .s
-file.</li>
-
-<li>Evan extended the DAG scheduler to model physical register dependencies
-explicitly and have the BURR scheduler pick a correct schedule based on the
-dependencies. This reduces our use of the 'flag' operand hack.</li>
-
-<li>Evan added initial support for register coalescing of subregister
-references.</li>
-
-<li>Rafael Espindola implemented initial support for a new 'byval' attribute,
-which allows more efficient by-value argument passing in the LLVM IR. Evan
-finished support for it and enabled it in the X86 (32- and 64-bit) and C
-backends.</li>
-
-<li>The LLVM TargetInstrInfo class can now answer queries about the mod/ref and
-side-effect behavior of MachineInstr's. This information is inferred
-automatically by TableGen from .td files for all instructions with
-patterns.</li>
-
-<li>Evan implemented simple live interval splitting on basic block boundaries.
-This allows the register allocator to be more successful at keeping values in
-registers in some parts of a value's live range, even if they need to be spilled
-in some other block.</li>
-
-<li>The new MachineRegisterInfo.h class provides support for efficiently
-iterating over all defs/uses of a register, and this information is
-automatically kept up-to-date. This support is similar to the use_iterator in
-the LLVM IR level.</li>
-
-<li>The MachineInstr, MachineOperand and TargetInstrDesc classes are simpler,
-more consistent, and better documented.</li>
+<li>MemOperand in the code generator.</li>

<p>In addition to a huge array of bug fixes and minor performance tweaks, the
-LLVM 2.2 optimizers support a few major enhancements:</p>
+LLVM 2.3 optimizers support a few major enhancements:</p>
<ul>
-<li>Daniel Berlin and Curtis Dunham rewrote Andersen's alias analysis to be
-several orders of magnitude faster, and implemented Offline Variable
-Substitution and Lazy Cycle Detection. Note that Andersen's is not enabled in
-llvm-gcc by default, but can be accessed through 'opt'.</li>
-
-<li>Dan Gohman contributed several enhancements to Loop Strength Reduction (LSR)
-to make it more aggressive with SSE intrinsics and when induction variables are
-used by non-memory instructions.</li>
-
-<li>Evan added support for simple exit value substitution to LSR.</li>
-
-<li>Evan enhanced LSR to support induction variable reuse when the induction
-variables have different widths.</li>
+<li>Index set splitting on by default.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<ul>
-<li>Evan contributed support to the X86 backend to model the mod/ref behavior
-of the EFLAGS register explicitly in all instructions. This gives more freedom
-to the scheduler, and is a more explicit way to model the instructions.</li>
-<li>Dale contributed support for exception handling on Darwin/PPC and he and
-Anton got x86-64 working.</li>
-<li>Evan turned on if-conversion by default for ARM, allowing LLVM to take
-advantage of its predication features.</li>
-<li>Bruno added PIC support to the MIPS backend, fixed many bugs and improved
-support for architecture variants.</li>
-<li>Arnold Schwaighofer added initial support for X86 tail calls.</li>
-<li>Evan contributed several enhancements to Darwin/x86 debug information.</li>
-<li>Duncan added x86-64 support for trampolines (pointers to nested functions).</li>
</ul>
</div>
</p>
<ul>
-<li>Gordon expanded and updated the <a href="Passes.html">LLVM Analysis and
-Transformation Passes</a> reference to include descriptions for each pass.</li>
-
-<li>We rewrote the lexer and parser used by TableGen to make them simpler
-and cleaner. This gives tblgen support for 'caret diagnostics'. The .ll file
-lexer was also rewritten to support caret diagnostics but doesn't use this
-support yet.</li>
-
-<li>Dale has been grinding through the GCC testsuite, and marked many
-LLVM-incompatible tests as not-to-be-run (for example, if they are grepping
-through some GCC dump file that LLVM doesn't produce), he also found and fixed
-many LLVM bugs exposed by the testsuite.</li>

-The llvm-gcc 4.2 Ada compiler works fairly well, however this is not a mature
