Android NDK, Revision 9b (October 2013) +

+
+
+
Important changes:
+
+
    +
  • Updated {@code include/android/*h} and {@code math.h} for all Android API levels up to + 18, including the addition of levels 13, 15, 16 and 17. + For information on added APIs, see commit messages for Changes + 68012 and + 68014. + (Issues 47150, + 58528, and + 38423)
    • +
  • Added support for API level 19, including Renderscript binding.
    • +
  • Added support for -mhard-float in the existing armeabi-v7a ABI. For more + information and current restrictions on Clang, see + {@code tests/device/hard-float/jni/Android.mk}.
    • +
  • Migrated from GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8 to 4.8.2, and added diagnostic color + support. To enable diagnostic colors, set -fdiagnostics-color=auto, + -fdiagnostics-color=always, or export {@code GCC_COLORS} as shown below: +
    +GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01'
+
    + For more information, see + GCC + Language Independent Options. +
    • +
  • Added two new samples to demonstrate OpenGL ES 3.0 features: Teapot and MoreTeapots. + These samples run on devices with Android 4.1 (API level 16) and higher.
    • +
  • Deprecated GCC 4.7 and Clang 3.2 support, which will be removed in the next + release.
    • +
+
+ +
Important bug fixes:
+
+
    +
  • Fixed problem with ARM GCC 4.6 {@code thumb2} failing to generate 16-bit relative jump + tables. (GCC Issue)
    • +
  • Fixed GCC 4.8 internal compiler error (ICE) on + {@code g++.dg/cpp0x/lambda/lambda-defarg3.C}. + (Change 62770, + GCC Issue)
    • +
  • Fixed a problem with Windows 32-bit {@code *-gdb.exe} executables failing to launch. + (Issue 58975)
    • +
  • Fixed GCC 4.8 ICE when building bullet library. The error message is as follows: + 
    internal compiler error: verify_flow_info failed
    + (Issue 58916, + GCC Issue)
    • +
  • Modified GDB/ARM build to skip {@code ARM.exidx} data for unwinding in prologue code and + added a command ({@code set arm exidx-unwinding}) to control exidx-based stack unwinding. + (Issue 55826)
    • +
  • Fixed Clang 3.3 MIPS compiler problem where HI and LO registers are incorrectly + reused.
    • +
  • Fixed issue with MIPS 4.7 ICE in {@code dbx_reg_number}. The error message is as follows: +
    +external/icu4c/i18n/decimfmt.cpp:1322:1:
+internal compiler error: in dbx_reg_number, at dwarf2out.c:10185
+
    + (GCC Patch) + +
    • + +
+
+ +
Other bug fixes:
+
+
    +
  • Header fixes +
      +
    • Fixed the ARM {@code WCHAR_MIN} and {@code WCHAR_MAX} to be unsigned according to + spec (the X86/MIPS versions are signed). Define {@code _WCHAR_IS_ALWAYS_SIGNED} to + restore old behavior. (Issue 57749)
      • +
    • Fixed {@code include/netinet/tcp.h} to contain {@code TCP_INFO} state enum. + (Issue 38881)
      • +
    • Fixed the {@code cdefs_elh.h} macro {@code _C_LABEL_STRING} to stop generating + warnings in the GCC 4.8 toolchain when using c++11 mode. + (Issue 58135, + Issue 58652)
      • +
    • Removed non-existent functions {@code imaxabs} and {@code imaxdiv} from header + {@code inttypes.h}.
      • +
    • Fixed issue with {@code pthread_exit()} return values and {@code pthread_self()}. + (Issue 60686)
      • +
    • Added missing {@code mkdtemp()} function, which already exists in {@code bionic} + header {@code stdlib.h}.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Fixed problem building {@code samples/gles3jni} with Clang on Android API level 11.
    • +
  • Fixed MCLinker to allow multiple occurrences of the following options: + {@code -gc-sections} and {@code --eh-frame-hdr}.
    • +
  • Fixed MCLinker to accept the {@code --no-warn-mismatch} option.
    • +
  • Modified {@code cpu-features} option to not assume all VFPv4 devices support IDIV. + Now this option only adds IDIV to white-listed devices, including Nexus 4. + (Issue 57637)
    • +
  • Fixed problem with {@code android_native_app_glue.c} erroneously logging errors on event + predispatch operations.
    • +
  • Fixed all operations on {@code gabi++} terminate and unexpected_handler to be + thread-safe.
    • +
  • Fixed several issues with Clang -integrated-as option so it can pass + tests for {@code ssax-instructions} and {@code fenv}.
    • +
  • Fixed GCC 4.6/4.7/4.8 compiler to pass the linker option {@code --eh-frame-hdr} even + for static executables. For more information, see the + GCC patch.
    • +
  • Fixed extra apostrophe in CPU-ARCH-ABIS.html. For more information, see + NDK-DEPENDS.html. (Issue 60142)
    • +
  • Fixed extra quotes in ndk-build output on Windows. + (Issue 60649)
    • +
  • Fixed Clang 3.3 to compile ARM's built-in, atomic operations such as + {@code __atomic_fetch_add}, {@code __atomic_fetch_sub}, and {@code __atomic_fetch_or}. +
    • +
  • Fixed Clang 3.3 ICE with customized {@code vfprintf}. + (Clang issue) +
    • +
+
+ +
Other changes:
+
+
    +
  • Enabled OpenMP for all GCC builds. To use this feature, add the following flags to your + build settings: +
    +LOCAL_CFLAGS += -fopenmp
+LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -fopenmp
+
    + For code examples, see {@code tests/device/test-openmp}
    • +
  • Reduced the size of {@code ld.mcld} significantly (1.5MB vs. {@code ld.bfd} 3.5MB and + {@code ld.gold} 7.5MB), resulting in a speed improvement of approximately 20%.
    • +
  • Added LOCAL_CONLYFLAGS and APP_CONLYFLAGS to specify + options applicable to C only but not C++. The existing LOCAL_CFLAGS + and APP_CFLAGS are also used for C++ compilation (to save trouble of + specifying most options twice), so options such as -std=gnu99 may fail in + g++ builds with a warning and clang++ builds with an error.
    • +
  • Added {@code gabi++} array helper functions.
    • +
  • Modified GCC builds so that all {@code libgcc.a} files are built with + -funwind-tables to allow the stack to be unwound past previously blocked + points, such as __aeabi_idiv0.
    • +
  • Added Ingenic MXU support in MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 with new -mmxu option.
    • +
  • Extended MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 -mldc1-sdc1 to control ldxc1/sdxc1 too
    • +
  • Added crazy linker. For more information, see + {@code sources/android/crazy_linker/README.TXT}.
    • +
  • Fixed {@code bitmap-plasma} to draw to full screen rather than a 200x200 pixel area.
    • +
  • Reduced linux and darwin toolchain sizes by 25% by creating symlinks to identical files. +
    • +
