bugfix-only release, with no new features.
Please note that from 3.5.0 onwards, clang and llvm require C++11
support to build; see UPDATING for more information.
PowerPC: CTR shouldn't fire if a TLS call is in the loop
Determining the address of a TLS variable results in a function call in
certain TLS models. This means that a simple ICmpInst might actually
result in invalidating the CTR register.
In such cases, do not attempt to rely on the CTR register for loop
optimization purposes.
This fixes PR22034.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D6786
This fixes a "Invalid PPC CTR loop" error when compiling parts of libc
for PowerPC-32.
all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.
