| v0.6.2 (2020-06-21) |
| =================== |
| |
| * add a new tool: sindex - the semantic utility |
| Sindex is a simple to use cscope-like tool but understanding |
| how symbols are used and which can track struct members. |
| |
| * add support for GCC's __auto_type |
| |
| * add support for _Generic |
| |
| * fully propagate declarations downward. |
| For example, it means that code like:: |
| |
| static int foo(void); |
| int foo(void) { return 0; } |
| |
| now behaves as expected: foo() is effectively static. |
| |
| * multi-arch: |
| * allow a single sparse executable to be used for multiple architectures |
| * add support for -mcmodel & -f{pic,PIC,pie,PIE}, mainly for RISC-V |
| * add new option, --arch=$ARCH, to specify the target architecture |
| * move all arch-specific code into separate files (target-$ARCH.c) |
| * try to support the various floating-point ABIs on ARM |
| * fix wchar_t & wint_t for openbsd |
| * add missing predefines for PPC |
| * add missing predefines: __amd64 & __amd64__ |
| * sparc32 on SunOS/Solaris uses 128-bit long double |
| * fix wchar_t & wint_t on SunOS/Solaris |
| * teach sparse about -fshort-wchar |
| * keep cygwin specifics with i386/x86-64 specifics |
| * keep BSD & Darwin specifics with i386/x86-64 specifics |
| * fix the signedness of plain chars |
| * add support for s390 (ILP32) |
| * add predefine for __mips__ |
| * predefine "i386" if needed |
| * pre-define __unix__ and friends |
| * add necessary defined for sunos-derived systems |
| * improved detection of the native OS |
| |
| * warnings: |
| * improve diagnostic message about wrong redeclaration |
| * conditionally accept { 0 } without warnings |
| * add -Wexternal-function-has-definition |
| * display the bitfield name in error messages |
| * oversized bitfields are now errors |
| * add an option to suppress warning 'no newline at EOF' |
| * warn when jumping into statement expressions |
| * warn when using undefined labels |
| * warn on defined but unused labels |
| |
| * attributes: |
| * allows '__<attribute-name>__' for all attributes. |
| * improve handling of function attributes |
| * separate modifiers into type/declaration |
| * add support for attributes 'unused' & 'gnu_inline' |
| * simplify parsing of inline/__tls/__visible |
| * better handle function-only attributes |
| * teach sparse about gnu_inline |
| * parse enum attributes and, for now, ignore them |
| |
| * cgcc: |
| * use -fshort-char for Cygwin |
| * add support for riscv32 & riscv64 |
| * don't define __CYGWIN32__ on 64-bit |
| * filter-out sparse-specific -msize-long & -msize-llp64 |
| * use -mfloat-abi=hard for armhf |
| * define _BIG_ENDIAN when needed |
| * remove definition of _STRING_ARCH_unaligned (defined by glibc) |
| * removed unneeded predefines for integers (now defined by sparse) |
| * better multi-arch support by using --arch=$ARCH |
| |
| * testsuite: |
| * avoid standard includes in the tests |
| * fix testcase with non-constant initializer |
| |
| * IR |
| * add support for the linearization of builtins |
| * generate OP_UNREACH from __builtin_unreachable() |
| * add OP_UNREACH after calls to __noreturn functions |
| |
| * doc: |
| * do not use obsolete sphinx's AutodocReporter |
| * Sphinx's minimal version is now 1.7 |
| * add basic doc about the type system |
| * doc is now accessible as: https://sparse.docs.kernel.org |
| * release notes (old and current ones) have been added to the doc |
| * now using the sphinx_rtd_theme instead of the classic theme |
| |
| * misc: |
| * add support for '-std=c17/c18' |
| * simplify testing of which version of the standard is used |
| * ensure that typeofs are evaluated before using show_typename() |
| * use a single way to expand typeofs |
| * various improvements to the 'dissect' tool |
| * simplify the parsing of type specifiers |
| * improve diagnostic messages concerning bitfields |
| * fix premature examination of dereferenced object |
| * various fixes for the expansion of constant symbols |
| * fix type compatibility of _Atomic types |
| * add support for builtin macros with argument |
| * add support for __has_feature() & __has_extension() |
