| 42 | <div class="ulist"><ul>\r | |
| 43 | <li>\r | |
| 44 | <p>\r | |
| 45 | Added an experimental LLVM codegen (<span class="monospaced">-codegen llvm</span>); requires LLVM tools\r | |
| 46 | (<span class="monospaced">llvm-as</span>, <span class="monospaced">opt</span>, <span class="monospaced">llc</span>) version ≥ 3.7.\r | |
| 47 | </p>\r | |
| 48 | </li>\r | |
| 49 | <li>\r | |
| 50 | <p>\r | |
| 51 | Made many substantial cosmetic improvements to front-end diagnostic\r | |
| 52 | messages, especially with respect to source location regions, type inference\r | |
| 53 | for <span class="monospaced">fun</span> and <span class="monospaced">val rec</span> declarations, signature constraints applied to a\r | |
| 54 | structure, <span class="monospaced">sharing type</span> specifications and <span class="monospaced">where type</span> signature\r | |
| 55 | expressions, type constructor or type variable escaping scope, and\r | |
| 56 | nonexhaustive pattern matching.\r | |
| 57 | </p>\r | |
| 58 | </li>\r | |
| 59 | <li>\r | |
| 60 | <p>\r | |
| 61 | Fixed minor bugs with exception replication, precedence parsing of function\r | |
| 62 | clauses, and simultaneous <span class="monospaced">sharing</span> of multiple structures.\r | |
| 63 | </p>\r | |
| 64 | </li>\r | |
| 65 | <li>\r | |
| 66 | <p>\r | |
| 67 | Made compilation deterministic (eliminate output executable name from\r | |
| 68 | compile-time specified <span class="monospaced">@MLton</span> runtime arguments; deterministically generate\r | |
| 69 | magic constant for executable).\r | |
| 70 | </p>\r | |
| 71 | </li>\r | |
| 72 | <li>\r | |
| 73 | <p>\r | |
| 74 | Updated <span class="monospaced">-show-basis</span> (recursively expand structures in environments,\r | |
| 75 | displaying components with long identifiers; append <span class="monospaced">(* @ region *)</span>\r | |
| 76 | annotations to items shown in environment).\r | |
| 77 | </p>\r | |
| 78 | </li>\r | |
| 79 | <li>\r | |
| 80 | <p>\r | |
| 81 | Forced amd64 codegen to generate PIC on amd64-linux targets.\r | |

| 90 | <div class="ulist"><ul>\r | |
| 91 | <li>\r | |
| 92 | <p>\r | |
| 93 | Added <span class="monospaced">gc-summary-file file</span> runtime option.\r | |
| 94 | </p>\r | |
| 95 | </li>\r | |
| 96 | <li>\r | |
| 97 | <p>\r | |
| 98 | Reorganized runtime support for <span class="monospaced">IntInf</span> operations so that programs that\r | |
| 99 | do not use <span class="monospaced">IntInf</span> compile to executables with no residual dependency on GMP.\r | |
| 100 | </p>\r | |
| 101 | </li>\r | |
| 102 | <li>\r | |
| 103 | <p>\r | |
| 104 | Changed heap representation to store forwarding pointer for an object in\r | |
| 105 | the object header (rather than in the object data and setting the header to a\r | |
| 106 | sentinel value).\r | |
| 107 | </p>\r | |

| 115 | <div class="ulist"><ul>\r | |
| 116 | <li>\r | |
| 117 | <p>\r | |
| 118 | Added support for selected SuccessorML features; see\r | |

| 120 | </p>\r | |
| 121 | </li>\r | |
| 122 | <li>\r | |
| 123 | <p>\r | |
| 124 | Added <span class="monospaced">(*#showBasis "file" *)</span> directive; see\r | |

| 135 | Added <span class="monospaced">pure</span>, <span class="monospaced">impure</span>, and <span class="monospaced">reentrant</span> attributes to <span class="monospaced">_import</span>. An\r | |
| 136 | unattributed <span class="monospaced">_import</span> is treated as <span class="monospaced">impure</span>. A <span class="monospaced">pure</span> <span class="monospaced">_import</span> may be\r | |
| 137 | subject to more aggressive optimizations (common subexpression elimination,\r | |
| 138 | dead-code elimination). An <span class="monospaced">_import</span>-ed C function that (directly or\r | |
| 139 | indirectly) calls an <span class="monospaced">_export</span>-ed SML function should be attributed\r | |
| 140 | <span class="monospaced">reentrant</span>.\r | |

| 149 | <div class="ulist"><ul>\r | |

| 151 | <p>\r | |
| 152 | Added <span class="monospaced">allowSuccessorML {false|true}</span> to enable all SuccessorML features\r | |
| 153 | and other annotations to enable specific SuccessorML features; see\r | |

| 161 | (controls diagnostics for <span class="monospaced">case</span> expressions, <span class="monospaced">fn</span> expressions, and <span class="monospaced">fun</span>\r | |
| 162 | declarations (which may raise <span class="monospaced">Match</span> on failure)) and <span class="monospaced">nonexhaustiveBind</span>\r | |

| 165 | </p>\r | |
| 166 | </li>\r | |
| 167 | <li>\r | |
| 168 | <p>\r | |
| 169 | Added <span class="monospaced">valrecConstr {warn|error|ignore}</span> to report when a <span class="monospaced">val rec</span> (or\r | |
