If LIBCXX_ENABLE_SHARED isn't explicitly set on the cmake command line, isn't set in the cache, and the libcxxabi project is configured before libcxx, then LIBCXX_ENABLE_SHARED isn't defined yet. Once the libcxx cmake project has been parsed, LIBCXX_ENABLE_SHARED would have been set to its default value of ON. This makes sure that the symbols are properly dllexported in such a configuration scenario. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D120982

These are in-progress notes for the upcoming libc++ 15 release.

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the libc++ C++ Standard Library,
|
|
part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release 15.0.0. 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 Git 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++ 15.0.0?
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
- Implemented P0627R6 (Function to mark unreachable code)
|
|
- Implemented P1165R1 (Make stateful allocator propagation more consistent for ``operator+(basic_string)``)
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- The ``_LIBCPP_ABI_UNSTABLE`` macro has been removed in favour of setting
|
|
``_LIBCPP_ABI_VERSION=2``. This should not have any impact on users because
|
|
they were not supposed to set ``_LIBCPP_ABI_UNSTABLE`` manually, however we
|
|
still feel that it is worth mentioning in the release notes in case some users
|
|
had been doing it.
|
|
|
|
- The header ``<experimental/filesystem>`` has been removed. Instead, use
|
|
``<filesystem>`` header. The associated macro
|
|
``_LIBCPP_DEPRECATED_EXPERIMENTAL_FILESYSTEM`` has also been removed.
|
|
|
|
- Some libc++ headers no longer transitively include all of ``<algorithm>``and ``<chrono>``.
|
|
If, after updating libc++, you see compiler errors related to missing declarations in
|
|
namespace ``std``, it might be because one of your source files now needs to
|
|
``#include <algorithm>`` and/or ``#include <chrono>``.
|
|
|
|
- The integer distributions ``binomial_distribution``, ``discrete_distribution``,
|
|
``geometric_distribution``, ``negative_binomial_distribution``, ``poisson_distribution``,
|
|
and ``uniform_int_distribution`` now conform to the Standard by rejecting
|
|
template parameter types other than ``short``, ``int``, ``long``, ``long long``,
|
|
(as an extension) ``__int128_t``, and the unsigned versions thereof.
|
|
In particular, ``uniform_int_distribution<int8_t>`` is no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
- The C++14 function ``std::quoted(const char*)`` is no longer supported in
|
|
C++03 or C++11 modes.
|
|
|
|
- libc++ no longer supports containers of ``const``-qualified element type,
|
|
such as ``vector<const T>`` and ``list<const T>``. This used to be supported
|
|
as an extension. Likewise, ``std::allocator<const T>`` is no longer supported.
|
|
If you were using ``vector<const T>``, replace it with ``vector<T>`` instead.
|
|
|
|
ABI Changes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- The ``_LIBCPP_ABI_USE_CXX03_NULLPTR_EMULATION`` macro controlling whether we use an
|
|
emulation for ``std::nullptr_t`` in C++03 mode has been removed. After this change,
|
|
``_LIBCPP_ABI_USE_CXX03_NULLPTR_EMULATION`` will not be honoured anymore and there
|
|
will be no way to opt back into the C++03 emulation of ``std::nullptr_t``.
|
|
|
|
Build System Changes
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for standalone builds have been entirely removed from libc++, libc++abi and
|
|
libunwind. Please use :ref:`these instructions <build instructions>` for building
|
|
libc++, libc++abi and/or libunwind.
|
|
|
|
- The ``{LIBCXX,LIBCXXABI,LIBUNWIND}_TARGET_TRIPLE``, ``{LIBCXX,LIBCXXABI,LIBUNWIND}_SYSROOT`` and
|
|
``{LIBCXX,LIBCXXABI,LIBUNWIND}_GCC_TOOLCHAIN`` CMake variables have been removed. Instead, please
|
|
use the ``CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET``, ``CMAKE_SYSROOT`` and ``CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN``
|
|
variables provided by CMake.
|
|
|
|
- When building for Windows, vendors who want to avoid dll-exporting symbols from the static libc++abi
|
|
library should set ``LIBCXXABI_HERMETIC_STATIC_LIBRARY=ON`` when configuring CMake. The current
|
|
behavior, which tries to guess the correct dll-export semantics based on whether we're building
|
|
the libc++ shared library, will be removed in LLVM 16.
