- Remove groups from specfile since they are not used anymore
- Add ldc-jit lib and devel packages
- Update to 1.21.0:
* Big news
- Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.091.1+, incl. new CLI
switches -verror-style and -HC, -HCd, -HCf. (#3333, #3399)
- LLVM for prebuilt packages upgraded to v10.0.0. Android NDK version
bumped to r21. (#3307, #3387, #3398)
- Initial support for GCC/GDC-style inline assembly syntax, besides
DMD-style inline asm and LDC-specific __asm, enabling to write inline
asm that is portable across GDC/LDC and corresponds to the GCC syntax
in C. See ldc-developers/druntime#171 for examples wrt. how to
transition from __asm to similar GCC-style asm. (#3304)
- Inline assembly diagnostics have been extended by the D source
location. (#3339)
* Platform support
- Supports LLVM 3.9 - 10.0.
* Bug fixes
- Fixed tail calls in thunks, affecting AArch64 (the debug libraries now work)
and possibly other architectures. (#3329, #3332)
- Windows: Do not emit any column infos for CodeView by default
(like clang) & add -gcolumn-info. (#3102, #3388)
- Windows: Do not leak MSVC-environment-setup into -run child processes.
A new LDC_VSDIR_FORCE environment variable can be used to enforce MSVC
toolchain setup. (#3340, #3341)
- Windows: Fix memory leak when throwing exceptions in threads.
(#3369, ldc-developers/druntime#181)
- Try to use memcmp for (in)equality of non-mutable static arrays and
mutable slices. (#3400, #3401)
- ldc.gccbuiltins_*: Lift 256-bit vector limit, adding 174 AVX512
builtins for x86; 512-bit vector aliases have been added to core.simd.
(#3405, #3406)
* Internals
- core.bitop.{bts,btr,btc} are now CTFE-able. (ldc-developers/druntime#182)
- Do not fallback to host for critical section size of unknown targets.
(#3389)
- Linux: Possibility to avoid passing -fuse-ld to cc via -linker=.
(#3382)
- WebAssembly: Switch from legacy linked-list ModuleInfo registry to
__minfo section. (#3348)
- Windows: Bundled libcurl upgraded to v7.69.1, incl. the option to link
it statically. (#3378)
- Windows: Switch to wide wmain C entry point in druntime. (#3351)
- druntime unittests are now compiled with -checkaction=context.
* Known issues
- NEW: When building LDC, old LDC 0.17.*/ltsmaster host compilers
miscompile LDC ≥ 1.21, leading to potential segfaults of the built LDC.
Ltsmaster can still be used to bootstrap a first compiler and then let
that compiler compile itself. (#3354)
- Buggy older ld.bfd linker versions may wrongly strip out required
symbols, e.g., ModuleInfos (so that e.g. no module ctors/dtors are run).
LDC defaults to ld.gold on Linux.
- 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.
