| Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release |
| ================================================= |
| |
| ELF Improvements |
| ---------------- |
| |
| * ``-z nosectionheader`` has been implemented to omit the section header table. |
| The operation is similar to ``llvm-objcopy --strip-sections``. |
| (`#101286 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/101286>`_) |
| * Section ``CLASS`` linker script syntax binds input sections to named classes, |
| which are referenced later one or more times. This provides access to the |
| automatic spilling mechanism of `--enable-non-contiguous-regions` without |
| globally changing the semantics of section matching. It also independently |
| increases the expressive power of linker scripts. |
| (`#95323 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/95323>`_) |
