# GCC 3.3 Release Series
Changes, New Features, and Fixes

## Caveats

- The preprocessor no longer accepts multi-line string literals. They were deprecated in 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.
- The preprocessor no longer supports the `-A-` switch when appearing alone. `-A-` followed by an assertion is still supported.
- Support for all the systems obsoleted in GCC 3.1 has been removed from GCC 3.3. See below for a list of systems which are obsoleted in this release.
- Checking for null format arguments has been decoupled from the rest of the format checking mechanism. Programs which use the `format` attribute may regain this functionality by using the new `nonnull` function attribute. Note that all functions for which GCC has a built-in `format` attribute, an appropriate built-in `nonnull` attribute is also applied.
- The DWARF (version 1) debugging format has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of GCC. Version 2 of the DWARF debugging format will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.
- The C and Objective-C compilers no longer accept the "Naming Types" extension (`typedef foo = bar`); it was already unavailable in C++. Code which uses it will need to be changed to use the "typeof" extension instead: `typedef typeof(bar) foo`. (We have removed this extension without a period of deprecation because it has caused the compiler to crash since version 3.0 and no one noticed until very recently. Thus we conclude it is not in widespread use.)
- The `-traditional` C compiler option has been removed. It was deprecated in 3.1 and 3.2. (Traditional preprocessing remains available.) The `<varargs.h>` header, used for writing variadic functions in traditional C, still exists but will produce an error message if used.
- GCC 3.3.1 automatically places zero-initialized variables in the `.bss` section on some operating systems. Versions of GNU Emacs up to (and including) 21.3 will not work correctly when using this optimization; you can use `-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss` to disable it.

## General Optimizer Improvements

- A new scheme for accurately describing processor pipelines, the DFA scheduler, has been added.

- Pavel Nejedly, Charles University Prague, has contributed new file format used by the edge coverage profiler (`-fprofile-arcs`).

  The new format is robust and diagnoses common mistakes where profiles from different versions (or compilations) of the program are combined resulting in nonsensical profiles and slow code to produced with profile feedback. Additionally this format allows extra data to be gathered. Currently, overall statistics are produced helping optimizers to identify hot spots of a program globally replacing the old intra-procedural scheme and resulting in better code. Note that the `gcov` tool from older GCC versions will not be able to parse the profiles generated by GCC 3.3 and vice versa.

- Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs, has contributed a new superblock formation pass enabled using `-ftracer`. This pass simplifies the control flow of functions allowing other optimizations to do better job.

  He also contributed the function reordering pass (`-freorder-functions`) to optimize function placement using profile feedback.

## New Languages and Language specific improvements

### C/ObjC/C++

- The preprocessor now accepts directives within macro arguments. It processes them just as if they had not been within macro arguments.
- The separate ISO and traditional preprocessors have been completely removed. The front end handles either type of preprocessed output if necessary.
- In C99 mode preprocessor arithmetic is done in the precision of the target's `intmax_t`, as required by that standard.
- The preprocessor can now copy comments inside macros to the output file when the macro is expanded. This feature, enabled using the `-CC` option, is intended for use by applications which place metadata or directives inside comments, such as `lint`.
- The method of constructing the list of directories to be searched for header files has been revised. If a directory named by a `-I` option is a standard system include directory, the option is ignored to ensure that the default search order for system directories and the special treatment of system header files are not defeated.
- A few more ISO C99 features now work correctly.
- A new function attribute, `nonnull`, has been added which allows pointer arguments to functions to be specified as requiring a non-null value. The compiler currently uses this information to issue a warning when it detects a null value passed in such an argument slot.
- A new type attribute, `may_alias`, has been added. Accesses to objects with types with this attribute are not subjected to type-based alias analysis, but are instead assumed to be able to alias any other type of objects, just like the `char` type.

### C++

- Type based alias analysis has been implemented for C++ aggregate types.

### Objective-C

- Generate an error if Objective-C objects are passed by value in function and method calls.
- When `-Wselector` is used, check the whole list of selectors at the end of compilation, and emit a warning if a `@selector()` is not known.
- Define `__NEXT_RUNTIME__` when compiling for the NeXT runtime.
- No longer need to include `objc/objc-class.h` to compile self calls in class methods (NeXT runtime only).
- New `-Wundeclared-selector` option.
- Removed selector bloating which was causing object files to be 10% bigger on average (GNU runtime only).
- Using at run time `@protocol()` objects has been fixed in certain situations (GNU runtime only).
- Type checking has been fixed and improved in many situations involving protocols.

### Java

- The `java.sql` and `javax.sql` packages now implement the JDBC 3.0 (JDK 1.4) API.
- The JDK 1.4 `assert` facility has been implemented.
- The bytecode interpreter is now direct threaded and thus faster.

### Fortran

- Fortran improvements are listed in the Fortran documentation.

### Ada

- Ada tasking now works with glibc 2.3.x threading libraries.

## New Targets and Target Specific Improvements

- The following changes have been made to the HP-PA port:
  - The port now defaults to scheduling for the PA8000 series of processors.
  - Scheduling support for the PA7300 processor has been added.
  - The 32-bit port now supports weak symbols under HP-UX 11.
  - The handling of initializers and finalizers has been improved under HP-UX 11. The 64-bit port no longer uses collect2.
  - Dwarf2 EH support has been added to the 32-bit linux port.
  - ABI fixes to correct the passing of small structures by value.
- The SPARC, HP-PA, SH4, and x86/pentium ports have been converted to use the DFA processor pipeline description.
- The following NetBSD configurations for the SuperH processor family have been added:
  - SH3, big-endian, `sh-*-netbsdelf*`
  - SH3, little-endian, `shle-*-netbsdelf*`
  - SH5, SHmedia, big-endian, 32-bit default, `sh5-*-netbsd*`
  - SH5, SHmedia, little-endian, 32-bit default, `sh5le-*-netbsd*`
  - SH5, SHmedia, big-endian, 64-bit default, `sh64-*-netbsd*`
  - SH5, SHmedia, little-endian, 64-bit default, `sh64le-*-netbsd*`
- The following changes have been made to the IA-32/x86-64 port:
  - SSE2 and 3dNOW! intrinsics are now supported.
  - Support for thread local storage has been added to the IA-32 and x86-64 ports.
  - The x86-64 port has been significantly improved.
- The following changes have been made to the MIPS port:
  - All configurations now accept the `-mabi` switch. Note that you will need appropriate multilibs for this option to work properly.
  - ELF configurations will always pass an ABI flag to the assembler, except when the MIPS EABI is selected.
  - `-mabi=64` no longer selects MIPS IV code.
  - The `-mcpu` option, which was deprecated in 3.1 and 3.2, has been removed from this release.
  - `-march` now changes the core ISA level. In previous releases, it would change the use of processor-specific extensions, but would leave the core ISA unchanged. For example, `mips64-elf -march=r8000` will now generate MIPS IV code.
  - Under most configurations, `-mipsN` now acts as a synonym for `-march`.
  - There are some new preprocessor macros to describe the `-march` and `-mtune` settings. See the documentation of those options for details.
  - Support for the NEC VR-Series processors has been added. This includes the 54xx, 5500, and 41xx series.
  - Support for the Sandcraft sr71k processor has been added.
- The following changes have been made to the S/390 port:
  - Support to build the Java runtime libraries has been added. Java is now enabled by default on `s390-*-linux*` and `s390x-*-linux*` targets.
  - Multilib support for the `s390x-*-linux*` target has been added; this allows to build 31-bit binaries using the `-m31` option.
  - Support for thread local storage has been added.
  - Inline assembler code may now use the 'Q' constraint to specify memory operands without index register.
  - Various platform-specific performance improvements have been implemented; in particular, the compiler now uses the `BRANCH ON COUNT` family of instructions and makes more frequent use of the `TEST UNDER MASK` family of instructions.
- The following changes have been made to the PowerPC port:
  - Support for IBM Power4 processor added.
  - Support for Motorola e500 SPE added.
  - Support for AIX 5.2 added.
  - Function and Data sections now supported on AIX.
  - Sibcall optimizations added.
- The support for H8 Tiny is added to the H8/300 port with `-mn`.

## Documentation improvements

## Other significant improvements

- Almost all front-end dependencies in the compiler have been separated out into a set of language hooks. This should make adding a new front end clearer and easier.
- One effect of removing the separate preprocessor is a small increase in the robustness of the compiler in general, and the maintainability of target descriptions. Previously target-specific built-in macros and others, such as `__FAST_MATH__`, had to be handled with so-called specs that were hard to maintain. Often they would fail to behave properly when conflicting options were supplied on the command line, and define macros in the user's namespace even when strict ISO compliance was requested. Integrating the preprocessor has cleanly solved these issues.
- The Makefile suite now supports redirection of `make install` by means of the variable `DESTDIR`.
