latest release, please see the `Clang Web Site <https://clang.llvm.org>`_ or the
`LLVM Web Site <https://llvm.org>`_.

Potentially Breaking Changes
============================
These changes are ones which we think may surprise users when upgrading to
Clang |release| because of the opportunity they pose for disruption to existing
code bases.

- Fix a bug in reversed argument for templated operators.
  This breaks code in C++20 which was previously accepted in C++17.
  Clang did not properly diagnose such casese in C++20 before this change. Eg:

  .. code-block:: cpp

    struct P {};
    template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S&);

    struct A : public P {};
    struct B : public P {};

    // This equality is now ambiguous in C++20.
    bool ambiguous(A a, B b) { return a == b; }

    template<class S> bool operator!=(const P&, const S&);
    // Ok. Found a matching operator!=.
    bool fine(A a, B b) { return a == b; }

  To reduce such widespread breakages, as an extension, Clang accepts this code
  with an existing warning ``-Wambiguous-reversed-operator`` warning.
  Fixes `GH <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53954>`_.

- The CMake variable ``GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX`` (which sets the default
  ``--gcc-toolchain=``) is deprecated and will be removed. Specify
  ``--gcc-install-dir=`` or ``--gcc-triple=`` in a `configuration file
  <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#configuration-files>` as a
  replacement.
  (`#77537 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/77537>`_)

C/C++ Language Potentially Breaking Changes
-------------------------------------------

- The default extension name for PCH generation (``-c -xc-header`` and ``-c
  -xc++-header``) is now ``.pch`` instead of ``.gch``.
- ``-include a.h`` probing ``a.h.gch`` will now ignore ``a.h.gch`` if it is not
  a clang pch file or a directory containing any clang pch file.
- Fixed a bug that caused ``__has_cpp_attribute`` and ``__has_c_attribute``
  return incorrect values for some C++-11-style attributes. Below is a complete
  list of behavior changes.

  .. csv-table::
    :header: Test, Old value, New value

    ``__has_cpp_attribute(unused)``,                    201603, 0
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(gnu::unused)``,               201603, 1
    ``__has_c_attribute(unused)``,                      202106, 0
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(clang::fallthrough)``,        201603, 1
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(gnu::fallthrough)``,          201603, 1
    ``__has_c_attribute(gnu::fallthrough)``,            201910, 1
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(warn_unused_result)``,        201907, 0
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(clang::warn_unused_result)``, 201907, 1
    ``__has_cpp_attribute(gnu::warn_unused_result)``,   201907, 1
    ``__has_c_attribute(warn_unused_result)``,          202003, 0
    ``__has_c_attribute(gnu::warn_unused_result)``,     202003, 1

- Fixed a bug in finding matching `operator!=` while adding reversed `operator==` as
  outlined in "The Equality Operator You Are Looking For" (`P2468 <http://wg21.link/p2468r2>`_).
  Fixes (`#68901: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/68901>`_).

C++ Specific Potentially Breaking Changes
-----------------------------------------
- The name mangling rules for function templates has been changed to take into
  account the possibility that functions could be overloaded on their template
  parameter lists or requires-clauses. This causes mangled names to change for
  function templates in the following cases:

  - When a template parameter in a function template depends on a previous
    template parameter, such as ``template<typename T, T V> void f()``.
  - When the function has any constraints, whether from constrained template
      parameters or requires-clauses.
  - When the template parameter list includes a deduced type -- either
      ``auto``, ``decltype(auto)``, or a deduced class template specialization
      type.
  - When a template template parameter is given a template template argument
      that has a different template parameter list.

  This fixes a number of issues where valid programs would be rejected due to
  mangling collisions, or would in some cases be silently miscompiled. Clang
  will use the old manglings if ``-fclang-abi-compat=17`` or lower is
  specified.
  (`#48216 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/48216>`_),
  (`#49884 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/49884>`_), and
  (`#61273 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61273>`_)

- The `ClassScopeFunctionSpecializationDecl` AST node has been removed.
  Dependent class scope explicit function template specializations now use
  `DependentFunctionTemplateSpecializationInfo` to store candidate primary
  templates and explicit template arguments. This should not impact users of
  Clang as a compiler, but it may break assumptions in Clang-based tools
  iterating over the AST.

- The warning `-Wenum-constexpr-conversion` is now also enabled by default on
  system headers and macros. It will be turned into a hard (non-downgradable)
  error in the next Clang release.

- The flag `-fdelayed-template-parsing` won't be enabled by default with C++20
  when targetting MSVC to match the behavior of MSVC.
  (`MSVC Docs <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/permissive-standards-conformance?view=msvc-170>`_)

- Remove the hardcoded path to the imported modules for C++20 named modules. Now we
  require all the dependent modules to specified from the command line.
  See (`#62707: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62707>`_).

- Forbid `import XXX;` in C++ to find module `XXX` comes from explicit clang modules.
  See (`#64755: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64755>`_).

ABI Changes in This Version
---------------------------
- Following the SystemV ABI for x86-64, ``__int128`` arguments will no longer
  be split between a register and a stack slot.

AST Dumping Potentially Breaking Changes
----------------------------------------
- When dumping a sugared type, Clang will no longer print the desugared type if
  its textual representation is the same as the sugared one. This applies to
  both text dumps of the form ``'foo':'foo'`` which will now be dumped as just
  ``'foo'``, and JSON dumps of the form:

  .. code-block:: json

    "type": {
      "qualType": "foo",
      "desugaredQualType": "foo"
    }

  which will now be dumped as just:

  .. code-block:: json

    "type": {
      "qualType": "foo"
    }

What's New in Clang |release|?
==============================
Some of the major new features and improvements to Clang are listed
here. Generic improvements to Clang as a whole or to its underlying
infrastructure are described first, followed by language-specific
sections with improvements to Clang's support for those languages.

C++ Language Changes
--------------------

C++20 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Implemented `P1907R1 <https://wg21.link/P1907R1>` which extends allowed non-type template argument
  kinds with e.g. floating point values and pointers and references to subobjects.
  This feature is still experimental. Accordingly, ``__cpp_nontype_template_args`` was not updated.
  However, its support can be tested with ``__has_extension(cxx_generalized_nttp)``.

- Clang won't perform ODR checks for decls in the global module fragment any
  more to ease the implementation and improve the user's using experience.
  This follows the MSVC's behavior. Users interested in testing the more strict
  behavior can use the flag '-Xclang -fno-skip-odr-check-in-gmf'.
  (`#79240 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/79240>`_).

C++23 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Implemented `P0847R7: Deducing this <https://wg21.link/P0847R7>`_. Some related core issues were also
  implemented (`CWG2553 <https://wg21.link/CWG2553>`_, `CWG2554 <https://wg21.link/CWG2554>`_,
  `CWG2653 <https://wg21.link/CWG2653>`_, `CWG2687 <https://wg21.link/CWG2687>`_). Because the
  support for this feature is still experimental, the feature test macro ``__cpp_explicit_this_parameter``
  was not set in this version.
  However, its support can be tested with ``__has_extension(cxx_explicit_this_parameter)``.

- Added a separate warning to warn the use of attributes on lambdas as a C++23 extension
  in previous language versions: ``-Wc++23-lambda-attributes``.

C++2c Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Implemented `P2169R4: A nice placeholder with no name <https://wg21.link/P2169R4>`_. This allows using ``_``
  as a variable name multiple times in the same scope and is supported in all C++ language modes as an extension.
  An extension warning is produced when multiple variables are introduced by ``_`` in the same scope.
  Unused warnings are no longer produced for variables named ``_``.
  Currently, inspecting placeholders variables in a debugger when more than one are declared in the same scope
  is not supported.

  .. code-block:: cpp

    struct S {
      int _, _; // Was invalid, now OK
    };
    void func() {
      int _, _; // Was invalid, now OK
    }
    void other() {
      int _; // Previously diagnosed under -Wunused, no longer diagnosed
    }

- Attributes now expect unevaluated strings in attributes parameters that are string literals.
  This is applied to both C++ standard attributes, and other attributes supported by Clang.
  This completes the implementation of `P2361R6 Unevaluated Strings <https://wg21.link/P2361R6>`_

- Implemented `P2864R2 Remove Deprecated Arithmetic Conversion on Enumerations From C++26 <https://wg21.link/P2864R2>`_.

- Implemented `P2361R6 Template parameter initialization <https://wg21.link/P2308R1>`_.
  This change is applied as a DR in all language modes.


Resolutions to C++ Defect Reports
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Implemented `CWG2598 <https://wg21.link/CWG2598>`_ and `CWG2096 <https://wg21.link/CWG2096>`_,
  making unions (that have either no members or at least one literal member) literal types.
  (`#77924: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/77924>`_).


C Language Changes
------------------
- ``structs``, ``unions``, and ``arrays`` that are const may now be used as
  constant expressions.  This change is more consistent with the behavior of
  GCC.
- Enums will now be represented in TBAA metadata using their actual underlying
  integer type. Previously they were treated as chars, which meant they could
  alias with all other types.
- Clang now supports the C-only attribute ``counted_by``. When applied to a
  struct's flexible array member, it points to the struct field that holds the
  number of elements in the flexible array member. This information can improve
  the results of the array bound sanitizer and the
  ``__builtin_dynamic_object_size`` builtin.

C23 Feature Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Clang now accepts ``-std=c23`` and ``-std=gnu23`` as language standard modes,
  and the ``__STDC_VERSION__`` macro now expands to ``202311L`` instead of its
  previous placeholder value. Clang continues to accept ``-std=c2x`` and
  ``-std=gnu2x`` as aliases for C23 and GNU C23, respectively.
- Clang now supports `requires c23` for module maps.
- Clang now supports ``N3007 Type inference for object definitions``.

- Clang now supports ``<stdckdint.h>`` which defines several macros for performing
  checked integer arithmetic. It is also exposed in pre-C23 modes.

- Completed the implementation of
  `N2508 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2508.pdf>`_. We
  previously implemented allowing a label at the end of a compound statement,
  and now we've implemented allowing a label to be followed by a declaration
  instead of a statement.
- Implemented
  `N2940 <https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2940.pdf>`_ which
  removes support for trigraphs in C23 and later. In earlier language modes,
  trigraphs remain enabled by default in conforming modes (e.g. ``-std=c17``)
  and disabled by default in GNU and Microsoft modes (e.g., ``-std=gnu17`` or
  ``-fms-compatibility``). If needed, you can enable trigraphs by passing
  ``-ftrigraphs``.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
-------------------------------------------------

* Clang now has a ``__builtin_vectorelements()`` function that determines the number of elements in a vector.
  For fixed-sized vectors, e.g., defined via ``__attribute__((vector_size(N)))`` or ARM NEON's vector types
  (e.g., ``uint16x8_t``), this returns the constant number of elements at compile-time.
  For scalable vectors, e.g., SVE or RISC-V V, the number of elements is not known at compile-time and is
  determined at runtime.
* The ``__datasizeof`` keyword has been added. It is similar to ``sizeof``
  except that it returns the size of a type ignoring tail padding.
* ``__builtin_classify_type()`` now classifies ``_BitInt`` values as the return value ``18``
  and vector types as return value ``19``, to match GCC 14's behavior.
* The default value of `_MSC_VER` was raised from 1920 to 1933.
* Since MSVC 19.33 added undocumented attribute ``[[msvc::constexpr]]``, this release adds the attribute as well.

* Added ``#pragma clang fp reciprocal``.

* The version of Unicode used by Clang (primarily to parse identifiers) has been updated to 15.1.

New Compiler Flags
------------------

* ``-fverify-intermediate-code`` and its complement ``-fno-verify-intermediate-code``.
  Enables or disables verification of the generated LLVM IR.
  Users can pass this to turn on extra verification to catch certain types of
  compiler bugs at the cost of extra compile time.
  Since enabling the verifier adds a non-trivial cost of a few percent impact on
  build times, it's disabled by default, unless your LLVM distribution itself is
  compiled with runtime checks enabled.
* ``-fkeep-system-includes`` modifies the behavior of the ``-E`` option,
  preserving ``#include`` directives for "system" headers instead of copying
  the preprocessed text to the output. This can greatly reduce the size of the
  preprocessed output, which can be helpful when trying to reduce a test case.
* ``-fassume-nothrow-exception-dtor`` is added to assume that the destructor of
  a thrown exception object will not throw. The generated code for catch
  handlers will be smaller. A throw expression of a type with a
  potentially-throwing destructor will lead to an error.

* ``-fopenacc`` was added as a part of the effort to support OpenACC in Clang.

* ``-fcx-limited-range`` enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex
  division and multiplication with no NaN checking of results. The default is
  ``-fno-cx-limited-range``, but this option is enabled by ``-ffast-math``.

* ``-fcx-fortran-rules`` enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex
  multiplication and enables application of Smith's algorithm for complex
  division. See SMITH, R. L. Algorithm 116: Complex division. Commun. ACM 5, 8
  (1962). The default is ``-fno-cx-fortran-rules``.

* ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=<value>`` gives more freedom to users to
  control how and if Clang forces a visibility for the replaceable new and
  delete declarations. The option takes 4 values: ``force-hidden``,
  ``force-protected``, ``force-default`` and ``source``; ``force-default`` is
  the default. Option values with prefix ``force-`` assign such declarations
  an implicit visibility attribute with the corresponding visibility. An option
  value of ``source`` implies that no implicit attribute is added. Without the
  attribute the replaceable global new and delete operators behave normally
  (like other functions) with respect to visibility attributes, pragmas and
  options (e.g ``--fvisibility=``).

Deprecated Compiler Flags
-------------------------

Modified Compiler Flags
-----------------------

* ``-Woverriding-t-option`` is renamed to ``-Woverriding-option``.
* ``-Winterrupt-service-routine`` is renamed to ``-Wexcessive-regsave`` as a generalization
* ``-frewrite-includes`` now guards the original #include directives with
  ``__CLANG_REWRITTEN_INCLUDES``, and ``__CLANG_REWRITTEN_SYSTEM_INCLUDES`` as
  appropriate.
* Introducing a new default calling convention for ``-fdefault-calling-conv``:
  ``rtdcall``. This new default CC only works for M68k and will use the new
  ``m68k_rtdcc`` CC on every functions that are not variadic. The ``-mrtd``
  driver/frontend flag has the same effect when targeting M68k.
* ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete-hidden`` is now a deprecated spelling of
  ``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=force-hidden`` (``-fvisibility-global-new-delete=``
  is new in this release).

Removed Compiler Flags
-------------------------

* ``-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang`` has been removed.
  It has not been needed to enable ``-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero`` since Clang 16.

Attribute Changes in Clang
--------------------------
- On X86, a warning is now emitted if a function with ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))``
  calls a function without ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))``, and is not compiled with
  ``-mgeneral-regs-only``
- On X86, a function with ``__attribute__((interrupt))`` can now call a function without
  ``__attribute__((no_caller_saved_registers))`` provided that it is compiled with ``-mgeneral-regs-only``

- When a non-variadic function is decorated with the ``format`` attribute,
  Clang now checks that the format string would match the function's parameters'
  types after default argument promotion. As a result, it's no longer an
  automatic diagnostic to use parameters of types that the format style
  supports but that are never the result of default argument promotion, such as
  ``float``. (`#59824: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59824>`_)

- Clang now supports ``[[clang::preferred_type(type-name)]]`` as an attribute
  which can be applied to a bit-field. This attribute helps to map a bit-field
  back to a particular type that may be better-suited to representing the bit-
  field but cannot be used for other reasons and will impact the debug
  information generated for the bit-field. This is most useful when mapping a
  bit-field of basic integer type back to a ``bool`` or an enumeration type,
  e.g.,

  .. code-block:: c++

      enum E { Apple, Orange, Pear };
      struct S {
        [[clang::preferred_type(E)]] unsigned FruitKind : 2;
      };

  When viewing ``S::FruitKind`` in a debugger, it will behave as if the member
  was declared as type ``E`` rather than ``unsigned``.

- Clang now warns you that the ``_Alignas`` attribute on declaration specifiers
  is ignored, changed from the former incorrect suggestion to move it past
  declaration specifiers. (`#58637 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58637>`_)

- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_only_destroy_when_complete]]`` attribute
  to reduce the size of the destroy functions for coroutines which are known to
  be destroyed after having reached the final suspend point.

- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]`` and ``[[clang::coro_wrapper]]``
  attributes. A function returning a type marked with ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]``
  should be a coroutine. A non-coroutine function marked with ``[[clang::coro_wrapper]]``
  is still allowed to return the such a type. This is helpful for analyzers to recognize coroutines from the function signatures.

- Clang now supports ``[[clang::code_align(N)]]`` as an attribute which can be
  applied to a loop and specifies the byte alignment for a loop. This attribute
  accepts a positive integer constant initialization expression indicating the
  number of bytes for the minimum alignment boundary. Its value must be a power
  of 2, between 1 and 4096(inclusive).

  .. code-block:: c++

      void Array(int *array, size_t n) {
        [[clang::code_align(64)]] for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) array[i] = 0;
      }

      template<int A>
      void func() {
        [[clang::code_align(A)]] for(;;) { }
      }

- Clang now introduced ``[[clang::coro_lifetimebound]]`` attribute.
  All parameters of a function are considered to be lifetime bound if the function
  returns a type annotated with ``[[clang::coro_lifetimebound]]`` and ``[[clang::coro_return_type]]``.
  This analysis can be disabled for a function by annotating the function with ``[[clang::coro_disable_lifetimebound]]``.

Improvements to Clang's diagnostics
-----------------------------------
- Clang constexpr evaluator now prints template arguments when displaying
  template-specialization function calls.
- Clang contexpr evaluator now displays notes as well as an error when a constructor
  of a base class is not called in the constructor of its derived class.
- Clang no longer emits ``-Wmissing-variable-declarations`` for variables declared
  with the ``register`` storage class.
- Clang's ``-Wswitch-default`` flag now diagnoses whenever a ``switch`` statement
  does not have a ``default`` label.
- Clang's ``-Wtautological-negation-compare`` flag now diagnoses logical
  tautologies like ``x && !x`` and ``!x || x`` in expressions. This also
  makes ``-Winfinite-recursion`` diagnose more cases.
  (`#56035: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56035>`_).
- Clang constexpr evaluator now diagnoses compound assignment operators against
  uninitialized variables as a read of uninitialized object.
  (`#51536 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/51536>`_)
- Clang's ``-Wformat-truncation`` now diagnoses ``snprintf`` call that is known to
  result in string truncation.
  (`#64871: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64871>`_).
  Existing warnings that similarly warn about the overflow in ``sprintf``
  now falls under its own warning group ```-Wformat-overflow`` so that it can
  be disabled separately from ``Wfortify-source``.
  These two new warning groups have subgroups ``-Wformat-truncation-non-kprintf``
  and ``-Wformat-overflow-non-kprintf``, respectively. These subgroups are used when
  the format string contains ``%p`` format specifier.
  Because Linux kernel's codebase has format extensions for ``%p``, kernel developers
  are encouraged to disable these two subgroups by setting ``-Wno-format-truncation-non-kprintf``
  and ``-Wno-format-overflow-non-kprintf`` in order to avoid false positives on
  the kernel codebase.
  Also clang no longer emits false positive warnings about the output length of
  ``%g`` format specifier and about ``%o, %x, %X`` with ``#`` flag.
- Clang now emits ``-Wcast-qual`` for functional-style cast expressions.
- Clang no longer emits irrelevant notes about unsatisfied constraint expressions
  on the left-hand side of ``||`` when the right-hand side constraint is satisfied.
  (`#54678: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/54678>`_).
- Clang now prints its 'note' diagnostic in cyan instead of black, to be more compatible
  with terminals with dark background colors. This is also more consistent with GCC.
- Clang now displays an improved diagnostic and a note when a defaulted special
  member is marked ``constexpr`` in a class with a virtual base class
  (`#64843: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64843>`_).
- ``-Wfixed-enum-extension`` and ``-Wmicrosoft-fixed-enum`` diagnostics are no longer
  emitted when building as C23, since C23 standardizes support for enums with a
  fixed underlying type.
- When describing the failure of static assertion of `==` expression, clang prints the integer
  representation of the value as well as its character representation when
  the user-provided expression is of character type. If the character is
  non-printable, clang now shows the escpaed character.
  Clang also prints multi-byte characters if the user-provided expression
  is of multi-byte character type.

  *Example Code*:

  .. code-block:: c++

     static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍');

  *BEFORE*:

  .. code-block:: text

    source:1:15: error: static assertion failed due to requirement '"A\n"[1] == U'\U0001f30d''
    1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍');
      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    source:1:24: note: expression evaluates to ''
    ' == 127757'
    1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍');
      |               ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~

  *AFTER*:

  .. code-block:: text

    source:1:15: error: static assertion failed due to requirement '"A\n"[1] == U'\U0001f30d''
    1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍');
      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    source:1:24: note: expression evaluates to ''\n' (0x0A, 10) == U'🌍' (0x1F30D, 127757)'
    1 | static_assert("A\n"[1] == U'🌍');
      |               ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~
- Clang now always diagnoses when using non-standard layout types in ``offsetof`` .
  (`#64619: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64619>`_)
- Clang now diagnoses redefined defaulted constructor when redefined
  defaulted constructor with different exception specs.
  (`#69094: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69094>`_)
- Clang now diagnoses use of variable-length arrays in C++ by default (and
  under ``-Wall`` in GNU++ mode). This is an extension supported by Clang and
  GCC, but is very easy to accidentally use without realizing it's a
  nonportable construct that has different semantics from a constant-sized
  array. (`#62836 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62836>`_)

- Clang changed the order in which it displays candidate functions on overloading failures.
  Previously, Clang used definition of ordering from the C++ Standard. The order defined in
  the Standard is partial and is not suited for sorting. Instead, Clang now uses a strict
  order that still attempts to push more relevant functions to the top by comparing their
  corresponding conversions. In some cases, this results in better order. E.g., for the
  following code

  .. code-block:: cpp

      struct Foo {
        operator int();
        operator const char*();
      };

      void test() { Foo() - Foo(); }

  Clang now produces a list with two most relevant builtin operators at the top,
  i.e. ``operator-(int, int)`` and ``operator-(const char*, const char*)``.
  Previously ``operator-(const char*, const char*)`` was the first element,
  but ``operator-(int, int)`` was only the 13th element in the output.
  However, new implementation does not take into account some aspects of
  C++ semantics, e.g. which function template is more specialized. This
  can sometimes lead to worse ordering.


- When describing a warning/error in a function-style type conversion Clang underlines only until
  the end of the expression we convert from. Now Clang underlines until the closing parenthesis.

  Before:

  .. code-block:: text

    warning: cast from 'long (*)(const int &)' to 'decltype(fun_ptr)' (aka 'long (*)(int &)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
    24 | return decltype(fun_ptr)( f_ptr /*comment*/);
       |        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  After:

  .. code-block:: text

    warning: cast from 'long (*)(const int &)' to 'decltype(fun_ptr)' (aka 'long (*)(int &)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
    24 | return decltype(fun_ptr)( f_ptr /*comment*/);
       |        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- ``-Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant`` diagnostic is no longer emitted when using ``__null``
  (or, more commonly, ``NULL`` when the platform defines it as ``__null``) to be more consistent
  with GCC.
- Clang will warn on deprecated specializations used in system headers when their instantiation
  is caused by user code.
- Clang will now print ``static_assert`` failure details for arithmetic binary operators.
  Example:

  .. code-block:: cpp

    static_assert(1 << 4 == 15);

  will now print:

  .. code-block:: text

    error: static assertion failed due to requirement '1 << 4 == 15'
       48 | static_assert(1 << 4 == 15);
          |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~
    note: expression evaluates to '16 == 15'
       48 | static_assert(1 << 4 == 15);
          |               ~~~~~~~^~~~~

- Clang now diagnoses definitions of friend function specializations, e.g. ``friend void f<>(int) {}``.
- Clang now diagnoses narrowing conversions involving const references.
  (`#63151: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63151>`_).
- Clang now diagnoses unexpanded packs within the template argument lists of function template specializations.
- The warning `-Wnan-infinity-disabled` is now emitted when ``INFINITY``
  or ``NAN`` are used in arithmetic operations or function arguments in
  floating-point mode where ``INFINITY`` or ``NAN`` don't have the expected
  values.

- Clang now diagnoses attempts to bind a bitfield to an NTTP of a reference type as erroneous
  converted constant expression and not as a reference to subobject.
- Clang now diagnoses ``auto`` and ``decltype(auto)`` in declarations of conversion function template
  (`CWG1878: <https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/1878.html>`_)
- Clang now diagnoses the requirement that non-template friend declarations with requires clauses
  and template friend declarations with a constraint that depends on a template parameter from an
  enclosing template must be a definition.
- Clang now diagnoses incorrect usage of ``const`` and ``pure`` attributes, so ``-Wignored-attributes`` diagnoses more cases.
- Clang now emits more descriptive diagnostics for 'unusual' expressions (e.g. incomplete index
  expressions on matrix types or builtin functions without an argument list) as placement-args
  to new-expressions.

  Before:

  .. code-block:: text

    error: no matching function for call to 'operator new'
       13 |     new (__builtin_memset) S {};
          |     ^   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from '<builtin fn type>' to 'int' for 2nd argument
        5 |     void* operator new(__SIZE_TYPE__, int);
          |           ^

  After:

  .. code-block:: text

    error: builtin functions must be directly called
       13 |     new (__builtin_memset) S {};
          |          ^

- Clang now diagnoses import before module declarations but not in global
  module fragment.
  (`#67627: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/67627>`_).

- Clang now diagnoses include headers with angle in module purviews, which is
  not usually intended.
  (`#68615: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/68615>`_)

- Clang now won't mention invisible namespace when diagnose invisible declarations
  inside namespace. The original diagnostic message is confusing.
  (`#73893: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/73893>`_)

Improvements to Clang's time-trace
----------------------------------
- Two time-trace scope variables are added. A time trace scope variable of
  ``ParseDeclarationOrFunctionDefinition`` with the function's source location
  is added to record the time spent parsing the function's declaration or
  definition. Another time trace scope variable of ``ParseFunctionDefinition``
  is also added to record the name of the defined function.

Bug Fixes in This Version

OpenACC Specific Changes
------------------------
- OpenACC Implementation effort is beginning with semantic analysis and parsing
  of OpenACC pragmas. The ``-fopenacc`` flag was added to enable these new,
  albeit incomplete changes. The ``_OPENACC`` macro is currently defined to
  ``1``, as support is too incomplete to update to a standards-required value.
- Added ``-fexperimental-openacc-macro-override``, a command line option to
  permit overriding the ``_OPENACC`` macro to be any digit-only value specified
  by the user, which permits testing the compiler against existing OpenACC
  workloads in order to evaluate implementation progress.

Target Specific Changes
-----------------------

AMDGPU Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Use pass-by-reference (byref) in stead of pass-by-value (byval) for struct
  arguments in C ABI. Callee is responsible for allocating stack memory and
  copying the value of the struct if modified. Note that AMDGPU backend still
  supports byval for struct arguments.
- The default value for ``-mcode-object-version`` is now 5.
  See `AMDHSA Code Object V5 Metadata <https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html#code-object-v5-metadata>`_
  for more details.

X86 Support
^^^^^^^^^^^

- Added option ``-m[no-]evex512`` to disable ZMM and 64-bit mask instructions
  for AVX512 features.
- Support ISA of ``USER_MSR``.
  * Support intrinsic of ``_urdmsr``.
  * Support intrinsic of ``_uwrmsr``.
- Support ISA of ``AVX10.1``.
- ``-march=pantherlake`` and ``-march=clearwaterforest`` are now supported.
- Added ABI handling for ``__float128`` to match with GCC.
- Emit warnings for options to enable knl/knm specific ISAs: AVX512PF, AVX512ER
  and PREFETCHWT1. From next version (LLVM 19), these ISAs' intrinsic supports
  will be deprecated:
  * intrinsic series of *_exp2a23_*
  * intrinsic series of *_rsqrt28_*
  * intrinsic series of *_rcp28_*
  * intrinsic series of *_prefetch_i[3|6][2|4]gather_*
  * intrinsic series of *_prefetch_i[3|6][2|4]scatter_*

Arm and AArch64 Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- C++ function name mangling has been changed to align with the specification
  (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst).
  This affects C++ functions with SVE ACLE parameters. Clang will use the old
  manglings if ``-fclang-abi-compat=17`` or lower is  specified.

- New AArch64 asm constraints have been added for r8-r11(Uci) and r12-r15(Ucj).

- Support has been added for the following processors (-mcpu identifiers in parenthesis):

  For Arm:

  * Cortex-M52 (cortex-m52).

  For AArch64:

  * Cortex-A520 (cortex-a520).
  * Cortex-A720 (cortex-a720).
  * Cortex-X4 (cortex-x4).

- Alpha support has been added for SVE2.1 intrinsics.

- Support has been added for `-fstack-clash-protection` and `-mstack-probe-size`
  command line options.

- Function Multi Versioning has been extended to support Load-Acquire RCpc
  instructions v3 (rcpc3) as well as Memory Copy and Memory Set Acceleration
  instructions (mops) when targeting AArch64. The feature identifiers (in
  parenthesis) can be used with either of the ``target_version`` and
  ``target_clones`` attributes.

Android Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Android target triples are usually suffixed with a version. Clang searches for
  target-specific runtime and standard libraries in directories named after the
  target (e.g. if you're building with ``--target=aarch64-none-linux-android21``,
  Clang will look for ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android21`` under its resource
  directory to find runtime libraries). If an exact match isn't found, Clang
  would previously fall back to a directory without any version (which would be
  ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android`` in our example). Clang will now look for
  directories for lower versions and use the newest version it finds instead,
  e.g. if you have ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android21`` and
  ``lib/aarch64-none-linux-android29``, ``-target aarch64-none-linux-android23``
  will use the former and ``-target aarch64-none-linux-android30`` will use the
  latter. Falling back to a versionless directory will now emit a warning, and
  the fallback will be removed in Clang 19.

Windows Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Fixed an assertion failure that occurred due to a failure to propagate
  ``MSInheritanceAttr`` attributes to class template instantiations created
  for explicit template instantiation declarations.

- The ``-fno-auto-import`` option was added for MinGW targets. The option both
  affects code generation (inhibiting generating indirection via ``.refptr``
  stubs for potentially auto imported symbols, generating smaller and more
  efficient code) and linking (making the linker error out on such cases).
  If the option only is used during code generation but not when linking,
  linking may succeed but the resulting executables may expose issues at
  runtime.

- Clang now passes relevant LTO options to the linker (LLD) in MinGW mode.

LoongArch Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added builtins support for all LSX (128-bits SIMD) and LASX (256-bits SIMD)
  instructions.
- Added builtins support for approximate calculation instructions that were
  introduced in LoongArch Reference Manual V1.10.
- Made ``-mcmodel=`` compatible with LoongArch gcc that accepted ``normal``,
  ``medium`` and ``extreme``.
- The ``model`` attribute was now supported for overriding the default code
  model used to access global variables. The following values were supported:
  ``normal``, ``medium`` and ``extreme``.

  *Example Code*:

  .. code-block:: c

     int var __attribute((model("extreme")));

- Default to ``-fno-direct-access-external-data`` for non-PIC.
- An ABI mismatch with gcc/g++ about empty structs/unions passing was fixed.
- ``_mcount`` was generated instead of ``mcount``.

RISC-V Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Unaligned memory accesses can be toggled by ``-m[no-]unaligned-access`` or the
  aliases ``-m[no-]strict-align``.
- CodeGen of RV32E/RV64E was supported experimentally.
- CodeGen of ilp32e/lp64e was supported experimentally.

- Default ABI with F but without D was changed to ilp32f for RV32 and to lp64f
  for RV64.

- ``__attribute__((rvv_vector_bits(N)))`` is now supported for RVV vbool*_t types.

CUDA/HIP Language Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

CUDA Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Clang now supports CUDA SDK up to 12.3
- Added support for sm_90a

AIX Support
^^^^^^^^^^^

- Introduced the ``-maix-small-local-exec-tls`` option to produce a faster
  access sequence for local-exec TLS variables where the offset from the TLS
  base is encoded as an immediate operand.
  This access sequence is not used for TLS variables larger than 32KB, and is
  currently only supported on 64-bit mode.

WebAssembly Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AVR Support
^^^^^^^^^^^

DWARF Support in Clang
----------------------

Floating Point Support in Clang
-------------------------------
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log10`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_log2`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_exp`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_exp2`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_set_flt_rounds`` builtin for X86, x86_64, Arm and AArch64 only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_pow`` builtin for floating point types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_bitreverse`` builtin for integer types only.
- Add ``__builtin_elementwise_sqrt`` builtin for floating point types only.
- ``__builtin_isfpclass`` builtin now supports vector types.
- ``#pragma float_control(precise,on)`` enables precise floating-point
  semantics. If ``math-errno`` is disabled in the current TU, clang will
  re-enable ``math-errno`` in the presense of
  ``#pragma float_control(precise,on)``.
- Add ``__builtin_exp10``, ``__builtin_exp10f``,
  ``__builtin_exp10f16``, ``__builtin_exp10l`` and
  ``__builtin_exp10f128`` builtins.
- Add ``__builtin_iszero``, ``__builtin_issignaling`` and
  ``__builtin_issubnormal``.
- Add support for C99's ``#pragma STDC CX_LIMITED_RANGE`` feature.  This
  enables the naive mathematical formulas for complex multiplication and
  division, which are faster but do not correctly handle overflow and infinities.

AST Matchers
------------
- Add ``convertVectorExpr``.
- Add ``dependentSizedExtVectorType``.
- Add ``macroQualifiedType``.
- Add ``CXXFoldExpr`` related matchers: ``cxxFoldExpr``, ``callee``,
  ``hasInit``, ``hasPattern``, ``isRightFold``, ``isLeftFold``,
  ``isUnaryFold``, ``isBinaryFold``, ``hasOperator``, ``hasLHS``, ``hasRHS``, ``hasEitherOperand``.

clang-format
------------
- Add ``AllowBreakBeforeNoexceptSpecifier`` option.
- Add ``AllowShortCompoundRequirementOnASingleLine`` option.
- Change ``BreakAfterAttributes`` from ``Never`` to ``Leave`` in LLVM style.
- Add ``BreakAdjacentStringLiterals`` option.
- Add ``ObjCPropertyAttributeOrder`` which can be used to sort ObjC property
  attributes (like ``nonatomic, strong, nullable``).
- Add ``PenaltyBreakScopeResolution`` option.
- Add ``.clang-format-ignore`` files.
- Add ``AlignFunctionPointers`` sub-option for ``AlignConsecutiveDeclarations``.
- Add ``SkipMacroDefinitionBody`` option.

libclang
--------

- Exposed arguments of ``clang::annotate``.
- ``clang::getCursorKindForDecl`` now recognizes linkage specifications such as
  ``extern "C"`` and reports them as ``CXCursor_LinkageSpec``.

Static Analyzer
---------------

New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Implemented the ``[[clang::suppress]]`` attribute for suppressing diagnostics
  of static analysis tools, such as the Clang Static Analyzer.
  `Documentation <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#suppress>`__.

- Added a new checker ``core.BitwiseShift`` which reports situations where
  bitwise shift operators produce undefined behavior (because some operand is
  negative or too large).
  `Documentation <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/analyzer/checkers.html#core-bitwiseshift-c-c>`__.

- Added a new experimental checker ``alpha.core.StdVariant`` to detect variant
  accesses via wrong alternatives.

  (`#66481 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/66481>`_)

- Added a new experimental checker ``alpha.cplusplus.ArrayDelete`` to detect
  destructions of arrays of polymorphic objects that are destructed as their
  base class (`CERT EXP51-CPP <https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/cplusplus/EXP51-CPP.+Do+not+delete+an+array+through+a+pointer+of+the+incorrect+type>`_).
  `Documentation <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/analyzer/checkers.html#alpha-cplusplus-arraydelete-c>`__.
  (`0e246bb67573 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0e246bb67573799409d0085b89902a330998ddcc>`_)

- Added a new checker configuration option ``InvalidatingGetEnv=[true,false]`` to
  ``security.cert.env.InvalidPtr``. It's not set by default.
  If set, ``getenv`` calls won't invalidate previously returned pointers.
  `Documentation <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/analyzer/checkers.html#security-cert-env-invalidptr>`__.
  (`#67663 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/67663>`_)

  (`1dceba3a3684 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1dceba3a3684d12394731e09a6cf3efcebf07a3a>`_)

- ``security.insecureAPI.DeprecatedOrUnsafeBufferHandling`` now considers
  ``fprintf`` calls unsafe.
  `Documentation <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/analyzer/checkers.html#security-insecureapi-deprecatedorunsafebufferhandling-c>`__.

- Improved the diagnostics of the ``optin.core.EnumCastOutOfRange`` checker.
  It will display the name and the declaration of the enumeration along with
  the concrete value being cast to the enum.
  (`#74503 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/74503>`_)

- Improved the ``alpha.security.ArrayBoundV2`` checker for detecting buffer
  accesses prior the buffer; and also reworked the diagnostic messages.
  (`3e014038b373 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/3e014038b373e5a4a96d89d46cea17e4d2456a04>`_,
  `#70056 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/70056>`_,
  `#72107 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/72107>`_)

- Improved the ``alpha.unix.cstring.OutOfBounds`` checking both ends of the
  buffers in more cases.
  (`c3a87ddad62a <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/c3a87ddad62a6cc01acaccc76592bc6730c8ac3c>`_,
  `0954dc3fb921 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/0954dc3fb9214b994623f5306473de075f8e3593>`_)

- The ``alpha.security.taint.TaintPropagation`` checker no longer propagates
  taint on ``strlen`` and ``strnlen`` calls, unless these are marked
  explicitly propagators in the user-provided taint configuration file.
  This removal empirically reduces the number of false positive reports.
  Read the PR for the details.
  (`#66086 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/66086>`_)

- Other taint-related improvements.
