      2  * README.android describes in high-level the LLVM changes that we cannot push
      3  * upstream to the llvm.org repository:
      4  *  - Changes due to Android's build system.
      5  *  - Changes due to Android's toolchain.
      6  *  - Changes due to the limitations in Android-based consumer electronics.
      7  *
      8  * Some of them are to-dos. If and when they are done, there will no longer be
      9  * merge conflicts with upstream on those parts.
     10  *
     11  * The file contains useful hints when we try to resolve future 3-way merge
     12  * conflicts.

     15 * For Honeycomb: Synced to upstream r112344.
     16 * For Honeycomb MR1: Synced to upstream r119309
     17 * For Honeycomb MR2: Synced to upstream r119309
     18 * For Ice Cream Sandwich: Synced to upstream r135569

     20 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/7/21: From r135360 to 135569 (Contact sliao & logan for merge questions.)
     21 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/7/19: From r134306 to 135360 (Contact sliao for merge questions.)
     22 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/7/2: From r133718 to 134306 (Contact sliao for merge questions.)
     23 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/6/30: From r133240 to 133718 (Contact sliao for merge questions.)
     24   * This downstreaming could have broken bitcode compatibility
     25     * Upstream was migrating from 2.7 bitcode to 3.0 bitcode.
     26     * See the 4 commits on 2011/6/17:
     27     ==> * 4f6bab9 - Drop the "2" suffix on some enums. (13 days ago) <Chris Lattner>
     28     ==> * 96a74c5 - remove support for a bunch of obsolete instruction encodings and other backward compatibility hacks. (13 days ago) <Chris Lattner>
     29         * 738f05a - Remove a useless copy of MCELFStreamer. Patch by Logan Chien! (13 days ago) <Benjamin Kramer>
     30         * 981d826 - getSuccWeight returns now default 0 if Weights vector is empty. (13 days ago) <Jakub Staszak>
     31         * 799a58a55 - missed a file. (13 days ago) <Chris Lattner>
     32     ==> * 9d61dd9 - Remove some "2" suffixes from the metadata enums now that "1" is gone. (13 days ago) <Chris Lattner>
     33     ==> * 020a5a4 - remove bitcode reader support for LLVM 2.7 metadata encoding. (13 days ago) <Chris Lattner>
     34   * We maintain compatibility because Honeycomb SDK is out there.
     35     * Our bitcode reader can read both 2.7 and 3.0 versions. Writer is tracking upstream.
     36 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/6/22: From r129128 to 133240 (Contact sliao@ for merge questions.)
     37 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/4/8: From r127116 to 129128 (Contact sliao@ for merge questions.)
     38 * Recent downstreaming on 2011/3/11: From r119309 to 127116 (Contact sliao@ for merge questions.)
     39 
     40 * We add 40+ Android's *.mk files that are specific to Android's build system.
     41 
     42 * All the configuration files because we don't have configure/make/make-install
     43 
     44 * Changes for enabling both host and device builds.
     45 
     46 * All the tblgen work to enable Android to build a generator-generator binary
     47   and then run it in the middle of Android build process.
     48 
     49 * Explicitly include <cctype> header since is*() are not builtin functions in
     50 Android toolchain.
     51 
     52 * Code changes to make Android's toolchain stop outputting warnings. (This part
     53   should be pushed upstream eventually.)
     54 
     55 * lib/Target/{X86,ARM}/AsmPrinter/{X86,ARM}AsmPrinter.cpp
     56    Move from lib/Target/{X86,ARM}/{X86,ARM}AsmPrinter.cpp.
     57    AsmPrinter is only needed in Android when disassembly functionality
     58       is desired to be included.
     59 
     60 * Our ARM code generation fixes that upstream hasn't accepted yet. (This
     61   conflict will be resolved eventually, but there will always be time lag.)
     62 
     63 * Assorted size optimizations because Android-based consumer electronics
     64   need them.
