This patch adds a human readable trap category and message to UBSan traps. The category and message are encoded in a fake frame in the debug info where the function is a fake inline function where the name encodes the trap category and message. This is the same mechanism used by Clang’s `__builtin_verbose_trap()`. This change allows consumers of binaries built with trapping UBSan to more easily identify the reason for trapping. In particular LLDB already has a frame recognizer that recognizes the fake function names emitted in debug info by this patch. A patch testing this behavior in LLDB will be added in a separately. The human readable trap messages are based on the messages currently emitted by the userspace runtime for UBSan in compiler-rt. Note the wording is not identical because the userspace UBSan runtime has access to dynamic information that is not available during Clang’s codegen. Test cases for each UBSan trap kind are included. This complements the [`-fsanitize-annotate-debug-info` feature](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/141997). While `-fsanitize-annotate-debug-info` attempts to annotate all UBSan-added instructions, this feature (`-fsanitize-debug-trap-reasons`) only annotates the final trap instruction using SanitizerHandler information. This work is part of a GSoc 2025 project.

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the Clang C/C++/Objective-C
|
|
frontend, part of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, release |release|. Here we
|
|
describe the status of Clang in some detail, including major
|
|
improvements from the previous release and new feature work. For the
|
|
general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM
|
|
documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. For the libc++ release notes,
|
|
see `this page <https://libcxx.llvm.org/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM releases
|

C++ Specific Potentially Breaking Changes

-----------------------------------------
|
|
- For C++20 modules, the Reduced BMI mode will be the default option. This may introduce
|
|
regressions if your build system supports two-phase compilation model but haven't support
|
|
reduced BMI or it is a compiler bug or a bug in users code.

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
- Added ``__builtin_elementwise_minnumnum`` and ``__builtin_elementwise_maxnumnum``.
|
|
|
|
- Trapping UBSan (e.g. ``-fsanitize-trap=undefined``) now emits a string describing the reason for
|
|
trapping into the generated debug info. This feature allows debuggers (e.g. LLDB) to display
|
|
the reason for trapping if the trap is reached. The string is currently encoded in the debug
|
|
info as an artificial frame that claims to be inlined at the trap location. The function used
|
|
for the artificial frame is an artificial function whose name encodes the reason for trapping.
|
|
The encoding used is currently the same as ``__builtin_verbose_trap`` but might change in the future.
|
|
This feature is enabled by default but can be disabled by compiling with
|
|
``-fno-sanitize-annotate-debug-info-traps``.
|
|
|
|
New Compiler Flags
|
|
------------------
|
|
- New option ``-fno-sanitize-annotate-debug-info-traps`` added to disable emitting trap reasons into the debug info when compiling with trapping UBSan (e.g. ``-fsanitize-trap=undefined``).
|
|
|

Attribute Changes in Clang
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Improvements to Clang's diagnostics
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
- Added a separate diagnostic group ``-Wfunction-effect-redeclarations``, for the more pedantic
|
|
diagnostics for function effects (``[[clang::nonblocking]]`` and ``[[clang::nonallocating]]``).
|
|
Moved the warning for a missing (though implied) attribute on a redeclaration into this group.
|
|
Added a new warning in this group for the case where the attribute is missing/implicit on
|
|
an override of a virtual method.
|
|
|
|
Improvements to Clang's time-trace
