clang: updated to 8.0.0
Clang 8.0.0:
Major New Features
* Clang supports use of a profile remapping file, which permits profile data \
captured for one version of a program to be applied when building another \
version where symbols have changed (for example, due to renaming a class or \
namespace). See the UsersManual for details.
* Clang has new options to initialize automatic variables with a pattern. The \
default is still that automatic variables are uninitialized. This isn’t meant \
to change the semantics of C and C++. Rather, it’s meant to be a last resort \
when programmers inadvertently have some undefined behavior in their code. These \
options aim to make undefined behavior hurt less, which security-minded people \
will be very happy about.
* Improvements to Clang’s diagnostics
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
* The experimental feature Pretokenized Headers (PTH) was removed in its \
entirely from Clang. The feature did not properly work with about 1/3 of the \
possible tokens available and was unmaintained.
* The internals of libc++ include directory detection on MacOS have changed. \
Instead of running a search based on the -resource-dir flag, the search is now \
based on the path of the compiler in the filesystem. The default behaviour \
should not change. However, if you override -resource-dir manually and rely on \
the old behaviour you will need to add appropriate compiler flags for finding \
the corresponding libc++ include directory.
* The integrated assembler is used now by default for all MIPS targets.
* Improved support for MIPS N32 ABI and MIPS R6 target triples.
* Clang now includes builtin functions for bitwise rotation of common value \
sizes, such as: __builtin_rotateleft32
* Improved optimization for the corresponding MSVC compatibility builtins such \
as _rotl().
