April 23, 2017 LDC 1.2.0 has been released! | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi everyone! On behalf of the LDC team I announce the new 1.2.0 release! It is based on the 2.072.2 front-end and supports LLVM 3.5-4.0. Highlights of this release are the new frontend, support for LLVM 4.0, better cross-compiling support for floating points and a ton of fixes to increase robustness of the compiler. Be sure to read the change log at the GitHub release page for all the details. The packages are available for download at the same page. https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.2.0 MD5 checksums for the release packages: 68a19f08047c38518699351154ed156f ldc-1.2.0-src.tar.gz f9c36bdcc4a0f3502b3ba0d6b913cf3e ldc2-1.2.0-freebsd-x86_64.tar.xz a57072691c26ca32ad08fa981d5acaa6 ldc2-1.2.0-linux-x86.tar.xz fa24f73702355a430677d85c9b0e3200 ldc2-1.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz 6b97b2508233ecf35c2add95a2d81666 ldc2-1.2.0-osx-x86_64.tar.xz fa298a80bdeb9eb8b7b71b8de1fef545 ldc2-1.2.0-win32-msvc.zip be187180cec83003cc29ffba7e41032f ldc2-1.2.0-win64-msvc.zip Regarding the binaries: The Linux x86/x86_64 binaries are built on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with gcc 4.8.x and LLVM 4.0.0. They work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or later) without installing additional software. The OS X binaries and the FreeBSD binaries are built with LLVM 4.0.0. The Win32 and Win64 MSVC versions are built with VS2015 and LLVM 3.9.1 (due to a regression in LLVM 4.0). Please be sure to report any bugs at https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues, and feel free to drop by at the digitalmars.D.ldc forums (http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D.ldc) for any questions or comments. Thanks to everybody involved in making this happen. Onward to 1.3.0! Regards, Kai |

Thanks.
Here are some results with testing audio processing x86 performance versus LDC 1.0 (1.1 would make ~1% faster binaries than 1.0).
* 32-bit
LDC-1.0.0 x86
Results:
* minimum time: 214 ms => 98.7409 x real-time
* median time: 220 ms => 96.0479 x real-time
* average time: 246.967 ms => 85.5603 x real-time
LDC-1.2.0 x86
Results:
* minimum time: 175 ms => 120.746 x real-time
* median time: 177 ms => 119.382 x real-time
* average time: 185.2 ms => 114.096 x real-time
LDC-1.2.0 x86 with -ffast-math
Results:
* minimum time: 175 ms => 120.746 x real-time
* median time: 178 ms => 118.711 x real-time
* average time: 192.033 ms => 110.036 x real-time
=> peak dB difference = -150.515 dB
=> RMS dB difference = -212.253 dB
* 64-bit
LDC-1.0.0 x86_64
Results:
* minimum time: 195 ms => 108.362 x real-time
* median time: 200.5 ms => 105.389 x real-time
* average time: 206.533 ms => 102.311 x real-time
LDC-1.2.0 x86_64
Results:
* minimum time: 174 ms => 121.44 x real-time
* median time: 176.5 ms => 119.72 x real-time
* average time: 180.467 ms => 117.088 x real-time
LDC-1.2.0 x86_64 with -ffast-math
* minimum time: 170 ms => 124.297 x real-time
* median time: 172 ms => 122.852 x real-time
* average time: 178.933 ms => 118.092 x real-time
=> peak dB difference = -inf dB
=> RMS dB difference = -inf dB
Conclusion: for this particular benchmark, LDC 1.2.0 beats the former LDC with ~20% speed-up for 32-bit and ~10% for 64-bit. Very nice!

FYI - My travis-ci osx build started failing when travis switched to the LDC 1.2 release. I was using default 'osx' and 'ldc' setups. On travis, default osx setup is xcode 7.3. With this setup there were linker failures:
error: Invalid bitcode version (Producer: '800.0.42.1_0' Reader: '703.0.31_0')
Changing the travis config to use xcode 8.2 solved the issue. I used 8.2 rather than 8.3 to avoid the 'pointer not aligned' messages that are generated with 8.3.

I should have indicated, the 'pointer not aligned' messages are when compiling with DMD, not LDC

If you have some time to look into this, we'd greatly appreciate any help. — David |

This is now fixed: there is a new 1.2.0 package for Mac on Github now.
Creating LTO-built binary packages for Mac needs a little more work. :/
