Summary: This commit adopts the exclude_from_explicit_instantiation attribute discussed at [1] and reviewed in [2] in libc++ to supplant the use of __always_inline__ for visibility purposes. This change means that users wanting to link together translation units built with different versions of libc++'s headers into the same final linked image MUST define the _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI_PER_TU macro to 1 when building those TUs. Doing otherwise will lead to ODR violations and ABI issues.

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the libc++ C++ Standard Library,
|
|
part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 8.0.0. Here we describe the
|
|
status of libc++ in some detail, including major improvements from the previous
|
|
release and new feature work. For the general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM
|
|
documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM releases may
|
|
be downloaded from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
|
|
|
|
For more information about libc++, please see the `Libc++ Web Site
|
|
<https://libcxx.llvm.org>`_ or the `LLVM Web Site <https://llvm.org>`_.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are reading this file from a Subversion checkout or the
|
|
main Libc++ web page, this document applies to the *next* release, not
|
|
the current one. To see the release notes for a specific release, please
|
|
see the `releases page <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.

What's New in Libc++ 8.0.0?
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
-----------
|
|
- Building libc++ for Mac OSX 10.6 is not supported anymore.
|
|
- Starting with LLVM 8.0.0, users that wish to link together translation units
|
|
built with different versions of libc++'s headers into the same final linked
|
|
image MUST define the _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI_PER_TU macro to 1 when building
|
|
those translation units. Not defining _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI_PER_TU to 1 and
|
|
linking translation units built with different versions of libc++'s headers
|
|
together may lead to ODR violations and ABI issues. On the flipside, code
|
|
size improvements should be expected for everyone not defining the macro.
