+ <body>
+ <p>Just before the end of the quarter, we have updated
+ clang, llvm and lldb in base to 3.6.0 release. These all
+ contain numerous improvements; please see the linked release
+ notes for more detailed information.</p>
+
+ <p>We have also imported a newer snapshot of compiler-rt,
+ with better support for Address Sanitizer and Undefined
+ Behavior Sanitizer. With the updated clang, llvm, and
+ compiler-rt, we now support the Address Undefined Behavior
+ Sanitizers in the base system toolchain.</p>
+
+ <p>Like the 3.5.0 release, these components require C++11
+ support to build. At this point, FreeBSD 10.0 and later
+ provide that support, at least on x86.</p>
+
+ <p>It is still unclear whether we will be able to MFC this
+ to any stable branches, due to the difficulty it will
+ introduce for upgrading from a system without C++11 support,
+ either older releases or architectures still using gcc.</p>
+
+ <p>In the lld-import branch, we have also imported a recent
+ snapshot of lld, a linker produced by the LLVM project. This
+ is a very preliminary effort of making it available as a
+ system linker.</p>
+
+ <p>Thanks to Ed Maste, Roman Divacky, Andrew Turner and
+ Davide Italiano for their help with this import, and thanks to
+ Antoine Brodin for performing a ports exp-run.</p>
+ </body>
+
+ <help>
+ <task>
+ <p>After the ports exp-run, a small number of ports
+ turned out to have problems, and for almost all of these, PRs
+ with fixes or workarounds were filed. While most of these PRs
+ have been processed and closed, there are still a few left
+ that need attention, from either the maintainer(s) or other
+ volunteers.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>Andrew Turner is working on bringing up the arm64
+ architecture, which is now fully supported in clang and llvm.
+ This will be a very interesting new area for solving
+ challenging problems.</p>
+ </task>
+
+ <task>
+ <p>There are still issues with the powerpc and sparc64
+ architectures, and any help in these areas is very much
+ appreciated.</p>
