Garbage Collection ------------------ A new experimental mechanism for describing a garbage collection safepoint was added to LLVM. The new mechanism was not complete at the point this release was branched so it is recommended that anyone interested in using this mechanism track the ongoing development work on tip of tree. The hope is that these intrinsics will be ready for general use by 3.7. Documentation can be found `here <http://llvm.org/docs/Statepoints.html>`_. The existing gc.root implementation is still supported and as fully featured as it ever was. However, two features from GCStrategy will likely be removed in the 3.7 release (performCustomLowering and findCustomSafePoints). If you have a use case for either, please mention it on llvm-dev so that it can be considered for future development. We are expecting to migrate away from gc.root in the 3.8 time frame, but both mechanism will be supported in 3.7. Changes to the ARM Backend -------------------------- Loading Loading
