+<h3>
+<a name="optimizer">Optimizer Improvements</a>
+</h3>
+
+<div>
+
+<p>In addition to many minor performance tweaks and bug fixes, this
+   release includes a few major enhancements and additions to the
+   optimizers:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The pass manager now has an extension API that allows front-ends and plugins
+    to insert their own optimizations in the well-known places in the standard
+    pass optimization pipeline.</li>
+
+<li>Information about <a href="BranchWeightMetadata.html">branch probability</a>
+    and basic block frequency is now available within LLVM, based on a
+    combination of static branch prediction heuristics and
+    <code>__builtin_expect</code> calls.  That information is currently used for
+    register spill placement and if-conversion, with additional optimizations
+    planned for future releases.  The same framework is intended for eventual
+    use with profile-guided optimization.</li>
+
+<li>The "-indvars" induction variable simplification pass only modifies
+    induction variables when profitable. Sign and zero extension
+    elimination, linear function test replacement, loop unrolling, and
+    other simplifications that require induction variable analysis have
+    been generalized so they no longer require loops to be rewritten into
+    canonical form prior to optimization. This new design
+    preserves more IR level information, avoids undoing earlier loop
+    optimizations (particularly hand-optimized loops), and no longer
+    requires the code generator to reconstruct loops into an optimal form -
+    an intractable problem.</li>
+
+<li>LLVM now includes a pass to optimize retain/release calls for the
+  <a href="http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html">Automatic
+    Reference Counting</a> (ARC) Objective-C language feature (in
+    lib/Transforms/Scalar/ObjCARC.cpp).  It is a decent example of implementing
+    a source-language-specific optimization in LLVM.</li>

+<h3>
+<a name="mc">MC Level Improvements</a>
+</h3>
+
+<div>
+
+<p>The LLVM Machine Code (aka MC) subsystem was created to solve a number of
+   problems in the realm of assembly, disassembly, object file format handling,
+   and a number of other related areas that CPU instruction-set level tools work
+   in. For more information, please see
+  the <a href="http://blog.llvm.org/2010/04/intro-to-llvm-mc-project.html">Intro
+    to the LLVM MC Project Blog Post</a>.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The MC layer has undergone significant refactoring to eliminate layering
+    violations that caused it to pull in the LLVM compiler backend code.</li>
+  <li>The ELF object file writers are much more full featured.</li>
+  <li>The integrated assembler now supports #line directives.</li>
+  <li>An early implementation of a JIT built on top of the MC framework (known
+      as MC-JIT) has been implemented and will eventually replace the old JIT.
+    It emits object files direct to memory and uses a runtime dynamic linker to
+    resolve references and drive lazy compilation.  The MC-JIT enables much
+    greater code reuse between the JIT and the static compiler and provides
+    better integration with the platform ABI as a result.
+  </li>
+  <li>The assembly printer now makes uses of assemblers instruction aliases
+    (InstAliases) to print simplified mneumonics when possible.</li>
+  <li>TableGen can now autogenerate MC expansion logic for pseudo
+    instructions that expand to multiple MC instructions (through the
+    PseudoInstExpansion class).</li>
+  <li>A new llvm-dwarfdump tool provides a start of a drop-in
+    replacement for the corresponding tool that use LLVM libraries.  As part of
+    this, LLVM has the beginnings of a dwarf parsing library.</li>
+  <li>llvm-objdump has more output including, symbol by symbol disassembly,
+      inline relocations, section headers, symbol tables, and section contents.
+      Support for archive files has also been added.</li>
+  <li>llvm-nm has gained support for archives of binary files.</li>
+  <li>llvm-size has been added. This tool prints out section sizes.</li>

+<h3>
+<a name="codegen">Target Independent Code Generator Improvements</a>
+</h3>
+
+<div>
+
+<p>We have put a significant amount of work into the code generator
+   infrastructure, which allows us to implement more aggressive algorithms and
+   make it run faster:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>LLVM can now produce code that works with libgcc
+    to <a href="SegmentedStacks.html">dynamically allocate stack
+    segments</a>, as opposed to allocating a worst-case chunk of
+    virtual memory for each thread.</li>
+<li>LLVM generates substantially better code for indirect gotos due to a new
+    tail duplication pass, which can be a substantial performance win for
+    interpreter loops that use them.</li>
+<li>Exception handling and debug frame information is now emitted with CFI
+    directives. This lets the assembler produce more compact info as it knows
+    the final offsets, yielding <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/respindola/2011/05/12/cfi-directives/">much smaller executables</a> for some C++ applications.
+    If the system assembler doesn't support it, MC exands the directives when
+    the integrated assembler is not used.
+</li>
+
+<li>The code generator now supports vector "select" operations on vector
+    comparisons, turning them into various optimized code sequences (e.g.
+    using the SSE4/AVX "blend" instructions).</li>
+<li>The SSE execution domain fix pass and the ARM NEON move fix pass have been
+    merged to a target independent execution dependency fix pass. This pass is
+    used to select alternative equivalent opcodes in a way that minimizes
+    execution domain crossings. Closely connected instructions are moved to
+    the same execution domain when possible. Targets can override the
+    <code>getExecutionDomain</code> and <code>setExecutionDomain</code> hooks
+    to use the pass.</li>

+
+<p>If you're already an LLVM user or developer with out-of-tree changes based on
+   LLVM 2.9, this section lists some "gotchas" that you may run into upgrading
+   from the previous release.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>LLVM 3.0 removes support for reading LLVM 2.8 and earlier files, and LLVM
+    3.1 will eliminate support for reading LLVM 2.9 files.  Going forward, we
+    aim for all future versions of LLVM to read bitcode files and .ll files
+    produced by LLVM 3.0.</li>
+<li>Tablegen has been split into a library, allowing the clang tblgen pieces
+    to now live in the clang tree.  The llvm version has been renamed to
+    llvm-tblgen instead of tblgen.</li>
+  <li>The <code>LLVMC</code> meta compiler driver was removed.</li>
+  <li>The unused PostOrder Dominator Frontiers and LowerSetJmp passes were removed.</li>
+
+
+  <li>The old <code>TailDup</code> pass was not used in the standard pipeline
+      and was unable to update ssa form, so it has been removed.
+  <li>The syntax of volatile loads and stores in IR has been changed to
+      "<code>load volatile</code>"/"<code>store volatile</code>".  The old
+      syntax ("<code>volatile load</code>"/"<code>volatile store</code>")
+      is still accepted, but is now considered deprecated and will be removed in
+      3.1.</li>
+  <li>llvm-gcc's frontend tests have been removed from llvm/test/Frontend*, sunk
+    into the clang and dragonegg testsuites.</li>
+  <li>The old atomic intrinsics (<code>llvm.memory.barrier</code> and
+      <code>llvm.atomic.*</code>) are now gone.  Please use the new atomic
+      instructions, described in the <a href="Atomics.html">atomics guide</a>.
+  <li>LLVM's configure script doesn't depend on llvm-gcc anymore, eliminating a
+      strange circular dependence between projects.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Windows (32-bit)</h4>
+<div>
+

+<h3>
+<a name="api_changes">Internal API Changes</a>
+</h3>
+
+<div>
+
+<p>In addition, many APIs have changed in this release.  Some of the major
+   LLVM API changes are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>The biggest and most pervasive change is that the type system has been
+      rewritten: <code>PATypeHolder</code> and <code>OpaqueType</code> are gone,
+      and all APIs deal with <code>Type*</code> instead of <code>const
+      Type*</code>.  If you need to create recursive structures, then create a
+      named structure, and use <code>setBody()</code> when all its elements are
+      built.  Type merging and refining is gone too: named structures are not
+      merged with other structures, even if their layout is identical.  (of
+      course anonymous structures are still uniqued by layout).</li>
+
+  <li><code>PHINode::reserveOperandSpace</code> has been removed. Instead, you
+      must specify how many operands to reserve space for when you create the
+      PHINode, by passing an extra argument
+      into <code>PHINode::Create</code>.</li>
+
+  <li>PHINodes no longer store their incoming BasicBlocks as operands. Instead,
+      the list of incoming BasicBlocks is stored separately, and can be accessed
+      with new functions <code>PHINode::block_begin</code>
+      and <code>PHINode::block_end</code>.</li>
+
+  <li>Various functions now take an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead of either a
+      pair of pointers (or iterators) to the beginning and end of a range, or a
+      pointer and a length. Others now return an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead
+      of a reference to a <code>SmallVector</code>
+      or <code>std::vector</code>. These include:
+<ul>

+      except for the one which takes a <code>StringRef</code>.</li>
+
+  <li>The <code>LLVMBuildUnwind</code> function from the C API was removed. The
+      LLVM <code>unwind</code> instruction has been deprecated for a long time
+      and isn't used by the current front-ends. So this was removed during the
+      exception handling rewrite.</li>
+
+  <li>The <code>LLVMAddLowerSetJmpPass</code> function from the C API was
+      removed because the <code>LowerSetJmp</code> pass was removed.</li>
+
+  <li>The <code>DIBuilder</code> interface used by front ends to encode

-<a name="changes">Major Changes and Removed Features</a>
-</h3>
-
-<div>
-
-<p>If you're already an LLVM user or developer with out-of-tree changes based on
-   LLVM 2.9, this section lists some "gotchas" that you may run into upgrading
-   from the previous release.</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>The <code>LLVMC</code> front end code was removed while separating
-      out language independence.</li>
-  <li>The <code>LowerSetJmp</code> pass wasn't used effectively by any
-      target and has been removed.</li>
-  <li>The old <code>TailDup</code> pass was not used in the standard pipeline
-      and was unable to update ssa form, so it has been removed.
-  <li>The syntax of volatile loads and stores in IR has been changed to
-      "<code>load volatile</code>"/"<code>store volatile</code>".  The old
-      syntax ("<code>volatile load</code>"/"<code>volatile store</code>")
-      is still accepted, but is now considered deprecated.</li>
-  <li>The old atomic intrinscs (<code>llvm.memory.barrier</code> and
-      <code>llvm.atomic.*</code>) are now gone.  Please use the new atomic
-      instructions, described in the <a href="Atomics.html">atomics guide</a>.
-</ul>
-
-<h4>Windows (32-bit)</h4>
-<div>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>On Win32(MinGW32 and MSVC), Windows 2000 will not be supported.
-      Windows XP or higher is required.</li>
-</ul>

-<!--=========================================================================-->
-<h3>
-<a name="api_changes">Internal API Changes</a>
-</h3>
-
-<div>
-
-<p>In addition, many APIs have changed in this release.  Some of the major
-   LLVM API changes are:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>The biggest and most pervasive change is that llvm::Type's are no longer
-      returned or accepted as 'const' values.  Instead, just pass around
-      non-const Type's.</li>
-  
-  <li><code>PHINode::reserveOperandSpace</code> has been removed. Instead, you
-      must specify how many operands to reserve space for when you create the
-      PHINode, by passing an extra argument
-      into <code>PHINode::Create</code>.</li>
-
-  <li>PHINodes no longer store their incoming BasicBlocks as operands. Instead,
-      the list of incoming BasicBlocks is stored separately, and can be accessed
-      with new functions <code>PHINode::block_begin</code>
-      and <code>PHINode::block_end</code>.</li>
-
-  <li>Various functions now take an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead of either a
-      pair of pointers (or iterators) to the beginning and end of a range, or a
-      pointer and a length. Others now return an <code>ArrayRef</code> instead
-      of a reference to a <code>SmallVector</code>
-      or <code>std::vector</code>. These include:
-<ul>
-<!-- Please keep this list sorted. -->
-<li><code>CallInst::Create</code></li>
-<li><code>ComputeLinearIndex</code> (in <code>llvm/CodeGen/Analysis.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>ConstantArray::get</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getExtractElement</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getGetElementPtr</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getInBoundsGetElementPtr</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getIndices</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getInsertElement</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantExpr::getWithOperands</code></li>
-<li><code>ConstantFoldCall</code> (in <code>llvm/Analysis/ConstantFolding.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>ConstantFoldInstOperands</code> (in <code>llvm/Analysis/ConstantFolding.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>ConstantVector::get</code></li>
-<li><code>DIBuilder::createComplexVariable</code></li>
-<li><code>DIBuilder::getOrCreateArray</code></li>
-<li><code>ExtractValueInst::Create</code></li>
-<li><code>ExtractValueInst::getIndexedType</code></li>
-<li><code>ExtractValueInst::getIndices</code></li>
-<li><code>FindInsertedValue</code> (in <code>llvm/Analysis/ValueTracking.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>gep_type_begin</code> (in <code>llvm/Support/GetElementPtrTypeIterator.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>gep_type_end</code> (in <code>llvm/Support/GetElementPtrTypeIterator.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>GetElementPtrInst::Create</code></li>
-<li><code>GetElementPtrInst::CreateInBounds</code></li>
-<li><code>GetElementPtrInst::getIndexedType</code></li>
-<li><code>InsertValueInst::Create</code></li>
-<li><code>InsertValueInst::getIndices</code></li>
-<li><code>InvokeInst::Create</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateCall</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateExtractValue</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateGEP</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateInBoundsGEP</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateInsertValue</code></li>
-<li><code>IRBuilder::CreateInvoke</code></li>
-<li><code>MDNode::get</code></li>
-<li><code>MDNode::getIfExists</code></li>
-<li><code>MDNode::getTemporary</code></li>
-<li><code>MDNode::getWhenValsUnresolved</code></li>
-<li><code>SimplifyGEPInst</code> (in <code>llvm/Analysis/InstructionSimplify.h</code>)</li>
-<li><code>TargetData::getIndexedOffset</code></li>
-</ul></li>
-
-  <li>All forms of <code>StringMap::getOrCreateValue</code> have been remove
-      except for the one which takes a <code>StringRef</code>.</li>
-
-  <li>The <code>LLVMBuildUnwind</code> function from the C API was removed. The
-      LLVM <code>unwind</code> instruction has been deprecated for a long time
-      and isn't used by the current front-ends. So this was removed during the
-      exception handling rewrite.</li>
-
-  <li>The <code>LLVMAddLowerSetJmpPass</code> function from the C API was
-      removed because the <code>LowerSetJmp</code> pass was removed.</li>
-
-  <li>The <code>DIBuilder</code> interface used by front ends to encode
-      debugging information in the LLVM IR now expects clients to
-      use <code>DIBuilder::finalize()</code> at the end of translation unit to
-      complete debugging information encoding.</li>
-
-  <li>The way the type system works has been
-      rewritten: <code>PATypeHolder</code> and <code>OpaqueType</code> are gone,
-      and all APIs deal with <code>Type*</code> instead of <code>const
-      Type*</code>.  If you need to create recursive structures, then create a
-      named structure, and use <code>setBody()</code> when all its elements are
-      built.  Type merging and refining is gone too: named structures are not
-      merged with other structures, even if their layout is identical.  (of
-      course anonymous structures are still uniqued by layout).</li>
-
-  <li>TargetSelect.h moved to Support/ from Target/</li>
-
-  <li>UpgradeIntrinsicCall no longer upgrades pre-2.9 intrinsic calls (for
-      example <code>llvm.memset.i32</code>).</li>
-
-  <li>It is mandatory to initialize all out-of-tree passes too and their dependencies now with
-      <code>INITIALIZE_PASS{BEGIN,END,}</code>
-      and <code>INITIALIZE_{PASS,AG}_DEPENDENCY</code>.</li>
-
-  <li>The interface for MemDepResult in MemoryDependenceAnalysis has been
-      enhanced with new return types Unknown and NonFuncLocal, in addition to
-      the existing types Clobber, Def, and NonLocal.</li>

-</h3>
-
-<div>
-
-<p><b>LLVM 2.9 was the last release of llvm-gcc.</b></p>
-
-<p>llvm-gcc is generally very stable for the C family of languages.  The only
-   major language feature of GCC not supported by llvm-gcc is the
-   <tt>__builtin_apply</tt> family of builtins.   However, some extensions
-   are only supported on some targets.  For example, trampolines are only
-   supported on some targets (these are used when you take the address of a
-   nested function).</p>
-
-<p>Fortran support generally works, but there are still several unresolved bugs
-   in <a href="http://llvm.org/bugs/">Bugzilla</a>.  Please see the
-   tools/gfortran component for details.  Note that llvm-gcc is missing major
-   Fortran performance work in the frontend and library that went into GCC after
-   4.2.  If you are interested in Fortran, we recommend that you consider using
-   <a href="#dragonegg">dragonegg</a> instead.</p>
-
-<p>The llvm-gcc 4.2 Ada compiler has basic functionality, but is no longer being
-   actively maintained.  If you are interested in Ada, we recommend that you
-   consider using <a href="#dragonegg">dragonegg</a> instead.</p>
