LLVM 9.0.0

NOTE: Newer versions are available in the superseding repo: https://github.com/ldc-developers/llvm-project/releases

---

Vanilla LLVM 9.0.0 +

• LLD (03e4082, incl. a tiny workaround for LDC)
• compiler-rt libraries (e000d5e, incl. some tiny adaptations for LDC and Windows targets). Use -DCOMPILER_RT_INCLUDE_TESTS=OFF in the CMake command line to avoid the dependency on clang.
• Khronos SPIRV-LLVM-Translator library (7afffb9) to enable OpenCL emission for dcompute. Use -DLLVM_INCLUDE_TESTS=OFF in the CMake command line to avoid the dependency on clang.
• Mach-O: Support emitting the DWARF __debug_info section as non-debug section, in order to prevent the macOS linker from stripping it when linking the binary. This enables druntime's rt.backtrace to display file/line infos in backtraces. (7ce4a66)
• Windows: Use . instead of :: as CodeView debuginfo scope separator (for fully qualified names) for modules tagged with the D language, i.e., if compiling with LDC and -g. (8097236)
• Custom TLS emulation for Android. (c0a76db)

LLVM 8.0.1

• LLVM & submodules upgraded to v8.0.1.
• Windows compiler upgraded to clang v8.0.1.

• Fix PGO for Windows. (afa3920)
• Windows: Use . instead of :: as CodeView debuginfo scope separator (for fully qualified names) for modules tagged with the D language, i.e., if compiling with LDC and -g. (5c1d425)
• Custom TLS emulation for Android. (38955d9)

LLVM 7.0.1

Upgrade LLVM & LLD to v7.0.1.

LLVM 7.0.0-2

• Windows: tweak compiler-rt builtins library for proper building with clang and usage with LDC. (01be6fe, 77b22dd)
• Windows: use . instead of :: as CodeView debuginfo scope separator (for fully qualified names) for modules tagged with the D language, i.e., if compiling with LDC and -g. (dc866bb)

LLVM 7.0.0

• compiler-rt libraries (de51970). Use -DCOMPILER_RT_INCLUDE_TESTS=OFF in the CMake command line to avoid the dependency on clang.
• Custom TLS emulation for Android targets (ecba7c7).
• Mach-O: Support emitting the DWARF __debug_info section as non-debug section, in order to prevent the macOS linker from stripping it when linking the binary. This enables druntime's rt.backtrace to display file/line infos in backtraces. (7f88194)

LLVM 6.0.1-3

• Fix PGO for Windows (4db8831)

LLVM 6.0.1-2

LLVM 6.0.1

• Upgrade LLVM, LLD & compiler-rt to v6.0.1.
• Mach-O: Support emitting the DWARF __debug_info section as non-debug section, in order to prevent the macOS linker from stripping it when linking the binary. This enables druntime's rt.backtrace to display file/line infos in backtraces. (7798278)
• LDC-specific TLS emulation for AArch64-Android. (13ba2b0)
• Add MIPS, MSP430, RISC-V and WebAssembly targets for prebuilt packages. (7d769d6)

LLVM 6.0.0
