LLVM 7.0 Released: Better CPU Support, AMDGPU Vega 20; Clang 7.0 Gets FMV and OpenCL C++ (phoronix.com)

LLVM release manager Hans Wennborg announced Wednesday the official availability of LLVM 7.0 compiler stack as well as associated sub-projects including the Clang 7.0 C/C++ compiler front-end, Compiler-RT, libc++, libunwind, LLDB, and others. From a report: There is a lot of LLVM improvements ranging from CPU improvements for many different architectures, Vega 20 support among many other AMDGPU back-end improvements, the new machine code analyzer utility, and more. The notable Clang C/C++ compiler has picked up support for function multi-versioning (FMV), initial OpenCL C++ support, and many other additions. See my LLVM 7.0 / Clang 7.0 feature overview for more details on the changes with this six-month open-source compiler stack update. Wennborg's release statement can be read on the llvm-announce list.

    Maybe you're such a dense motherfucker that you missed it, so here's what you glossed over, dicknozzle:

    Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

    ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
    Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
    Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
    Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
    Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
