Note: For a backward compatible interface, use the new bin/ldmd script. It
supports all old options while passing on anything it doesn't recognize.
Some changes caused by this:
* -debug and -version are now -d-debug and -d-version due to a conflict with
standard LLVM options.
* All "flag" options now allow an optional =true/=1/=false/=0 suffix.
* Some "hidden debug switches" starting with "--" were renamed because LLVM
doesn't care about the number of dashes, so they were conflicting with other
options (such as -c).
The new versions start with "-hidden-debug-" instead of "--"
* --help works, but has a non-zero exit code. This breaks some Tango scripts
which use it to test for compiler existence. See tango.patch.
Some changes not (directly) caused by this;
* (-enable/-disable)-FOO options are now available for pre- and postconditions.
* -march is used instead of -m (like other LLVM programs), but -m is an alias
for it.
* -defaultlib, -debuglib, -d-debug and -d-version allow comma-separated values.
The effect should be identical to specifying the same option multiple times.
I decided against allowing these for some other options because paths might
contain commas on some systems.
* -fPIC is removed in favor of the standard LLVM option -relocation-model=pic
Bug:
* If -run is specified as the last argument in DFLAGS, no error is generated.
(Not very serious IMHO)
Fixed function literals in static initializers.
Changed alignment of delegates from 2*PTRSIZE to just PTRSIZE.
Changed errors to go to stderr instead of stdout.
Fairly major rewriting of struct/union/class handling, STILL A BIT BUGGY !!!
Changed the way struct/class fields are added, first small part of cleaning up these...
Make struct/class/union fields aware of any anonymous struct/union they might be part of, not yet really useful, but part of getting better union support.
Reimplemented support for nested functions/class using a new approach.
Added error on taking address of intrinsic.
Fixed problems with the ->syntaxCopy of TypeFunction delegate exp.
Removed DtoDType and replaced all uses with ->toBasetype() instead.
Removed unused inplace stuff.
Fixed a bunch of issues in the runtime unittests, not complete yet.
Added mini tests.
Removed the -fp80 option and made real be 80bit floats on X86, this is what the D spec really says it should be and fixes a bunch of issues.
Changed the handling of parameter attributes to a bit more generalized approach.
Added sext/zext attributes for byte/short/ubyte/ushort parameters, fixes#60 .
Parameter attribs now properly set for intrinsic calls if necessary.
Made the tango.math.Math patch less intrusive.
Fixed/added some mini tests.
Added support for array .sort and .reverse properties.
Fixed some bugs with pointer arithmetic.
Disabled some DMD AST optimizations that was messing things up, destroying valuable information.
Added a KDevelop project file, this is what I use for coding LLVMDC now :)
Other minor stuff.
Fixed some nested function problems when accessing outer function parameters.
Major changes to handling of structs.
Initial support for unions.
Probably more...
