77 | <h2 id="LuaJIT-2.1.0-beta1">LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta1 — 2015-08-25</h2> | ||
78 | <p> | ||
79 | This is a brief summary of the major changes in LuaJIT 2.1 compared to 2.0. | ||
80 | Please take a look at the commit history for more details. | ||
81 | </p> | ||
82 | <ul> | ||
83 | <li>Changes to the VM core: | ||
84 | <ul> | ||
85 | <li>Add low-overhead profiler (<tt>-jp</tt>).</li> | ||
86 | <li>Add <tt>LJ_GC64</tt> mode: 64 bit GC object references (really: 47 bit). Interpreter-only for now.</li> | ||
87 | <li>Add <tt>LJ_FR2</tt> mode: Two-slot frame info. Required by <tt>LJ_GC64</tt> mode.</li> | ||
88 | <li>Add <tt>table.new()</tt> and <tt>table.clear()</tt>.</li> | ||
89 | <li>Parse binary number literals (<tt>0bxxx</tt>).</li> | ||
90 | </ul></li> | ||
91 | <li>Improvements to the JIT compiler: | ||
92 | <ul> | ||
93 | <li>Add trace stitching (disabled for now).</li> | ||
94 | <li>Compile various builtins: <tt>string.char()</tt>, <tt>string.reverse()</tt>, <tt>string.lower()</tt>, <tt>string.upper()</tt>, <tt>string.rep()</tt>, <tt>string.format()</tt>, <tt>table.concat()</tt>, <tt>bit.tohex()</tt>, <tt>getfenv(0)</tt>, <tt>debug.getmetatable()</tt>.</li> | ||
95 | <li>Compile <tt>string.find()</tt> for fixed string searches (no patterns).</li> | ||
96 | <li>Compile <tt>BC_TSETM</tt>, e.g. <tt>{1,2,3,f()}</tt>.</li> | ||
97 | <li>Compile string concatenations (<tt>BC_CAT</tt>).</li> | ||
98 | <li>Compile <tt>__concat</tt> metamethod.</li> | ||
99 | <li>Various minor optimizations.</li> | ||
100 | </ul></li> | ||
101 | <li>Internal Changes: | ||
102 | <ul> | ||
103 | <li>Add support for embedding LuaJIT bytecode for builtins.</li> | ||
104 | <li>Replace various builtins with embedded bytecode.</li> | ||
105 | <li>Refactor string buffers and string formatting.</li> | ||
106 | <li>Remove obsolete non-truncating number to integer conversions.</li> | ||
107 | </ul></li> | ||
108 | <li>Ports: | ||
109 | <ul> | ||
110 | <li>Add Xbox One port (<tt>LJ_GC64</tt> mode).</li> | ||
111 | <li>ARM64: Add port of the interpreter (<tt>LJ_GC64</tt> mode).</li> | ||
112 | <li>x64: Add separate port of the interpreter to <tt>LJ_GC64</tt> mode.</li> | ||
113 | <li>x86/x64: Drop internal x87 math functions. Use libm functions.</li> | ||
114 | <li>x86: Remove x87 support from interpreter. SSE2 is mandatory now.</li> | ||
115 | <li>PPC/e500: Drop support for this architecture.</li> | ||
116 | </ul></li> | ||
117 | <li>FFI library: | ||
118 | <ul> | ||
119 | <li>FFI: Add 64 bit bitwise operations.</li> | ||
120 | <li>FFI: Compile VLA/VLS and large cdata allocations with default initialization.</li> | ||
121 | <li>FFI: Compile conversions from functions to function pointers.</li> | ||
122 | <li>FFI: Compile lightuserdata to <tt>void *</tt> conversion.</li> | ||
123 | <li>FFI: Compile <tt>ffi.gc(cdata, nil)</tt>, too.</li> | ||
124 | <li>FFI: Add <tt>ffi.typeinfo()</tt>.</li> | ||
