<dl>
<dt>Important changes:</dt>
<div class="toggleme">
<dd>
<ul>
<li>Added the Clang 3.1 compiler to the NDK. The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.6 is
still the default, so you must explicitly enable the Clang compiler option as follows:
<ul>
<li>For {@code ndk-build}, export {@code NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=clang3.1} <em>or</em>
add this environment variable setting to {@code Application.mk}.</li>
<li>For standalone builds, add {@code --llvm-version=3.1} to
{@code make-standalone-toolchain.sh} and replace {@code CC} and {@code CXX} in your
makefile with {@code &lt;tool-path&gt;/bin/clang} and
{@code &lt;tool-path&gt;/bin/clang++}. See {@code STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html} for
details.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> This feature is experimental. Please try it and
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list">report any issues</a>.</p></li>
<li>Added Gold linker {@code ld.gold} for the Windows toolchain. Gold linker is also the
default for ARM and X86 on all hosts. You may override it to use the {@code ld.bfd}
linker by adding {@code LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -fuse-ld=bfd} to {@code Android.mk}, or by passing
{@code -fuse-ld=bfd} to the g++/clang++ command line that does the linking.</li>
<li>Added checks for spaces in the NDK path to the {@code ndk-build[.cmd]} and
{@code ndk-gdb} scripts, to prevent build errors that are difficult to diagnose.</li>
<li>Made the following changes to API level handling:
<ul>
<li>Modified build logic so that projects that specify {@code android-10} through
{@code android-13} in {@code APP_PLATFORM}, {@code project.properties} or
{@code default.properties} link against {@code android-9} instead of
{@code android-14}.
<li>Updated build so that executables using android-16 (Jelly Bean) or higher are
compiled with the {@code -fPIE} option for position-independent executables (PIE).
A new {@code APP_PIE} option allows you to control this behavior. See {@code
APPLICATION-MK.html} for details.
<p class="note">
<strong>Note:</strong> All API levels above 14 still link against {@code
platforms/android-14} and no new {@code platforms/android-N} have been added.
</p></li>
<li>Modified {@code ndk-build} to provide warnings if the adjusted API level is larger
than {@code android:minSdkVersion} in the project's {@code AndroidManifest.xml}.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Updated the {@code cpu-features} helper library to include more ARM-specific features.
See {@code sources/android/cpufeatures/cpu-features.h} for details.</li>
<li>Modified the long double on the X86 platform to be 8 bytes. This data type is now the
same size as a double, but is still treated as a distinct type.</li>
<li>Updated build for {@code APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a}:
<ul>
<li>Modified this build type to pass the {@code -march=armv7-a} parameter
to the linker. This change ensures that v7-specific libraries and {@code crt*.o} are
linked correctly.</li>
<li>Added {@code -mfpu=vfpv3-d16} to {@code ndk-build} instead of the
{@code -mfpu=vfp} option used in previous releases.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>Important bug fixes:</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>Fixed an issue where running {@code make-standalone-toolchain.sh} with root privileges
resulted in the stand alone tool chain being inaccessible to some users.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35279">Issue 35279</a>)
<ul>
<li>All files and executables in the NDK release package are set to have read and
execute permissions for all.</li>
<li>The ownership/group of {@code libstdc++.a} is now preserved when copied.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Removed redundant {@code \r} from Windows prebuilt {@code echo.exe}. The redundant
{@code \r} caused {@code gdb.setup} to fail in the GNU Debugger (GDB) because it
incorrectly became part of the path.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36054">Issue 36054</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed Windows parallel builds that sometimes failed due to timing issues in the
{@code host-mkdir} implementation.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25875">Issue 25875</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed GCC 4.4.3 GNU {@code libstdc++} to <em>not</em> merge {@code typeinfo} names by
default. For more details, see
{@code toolchain repo gcc/gcc-4.4.3/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/typeinfo}.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22165">Issue 22165</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed problem on {@code null} context in GCC 4.6
{@code cp/mangle.c::write_unscoped_name}, where GCC may crash when the context is
{@code null} and dereferenced in {@code TREE_CODE}.</li>
<li>Fixed GCC 4.4.3 crashes on ARM NEON-specific type definitions for floats.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34613">Issue 34613</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed the {@code STLport} internal {@code _IteWrapper::operator*()} implementation
where a stale stack location holding the dereferenced value was returned and caused
runtime crashes.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38630">Issue 38630</a>)</li>
<li>ARM-specific fixes:
<ul>
<li>Fixed ARM GCC 4.4.3/4.6 {@code g++} to not warn that the <em>mangling of
&lt;va_list&gt; was changed in GCC 4.4</em>. The workaround using the
{@code -Wno-psabi} switch to avoid this warning is no longer required.</li>
<li>Fixed an issue when a project with {@code .arm} or {@code .neon} suffixes in
{@code LOCAL_SRC_FILES} also used {@code APP_STL}. With {@code APP_STL}, the
{@code ndk-build} script searches for C++ files in {@code LOCAL_SRC_FILES} before
adding STL {@code header/lib} paths to compilation. Modified {@code ndk-build} to
filter out {@code .arm} and {@code .neon} suffixes before the search, otherwise items
in {@code LOCAL_SRC_FILES} like {@code myfile.cpp.arm.neon} won't be compiled as C++
code.</li>
<li>Fixed {@code binutils-2.21/ld.bfd} to be capable of linking object from older
binutils without {@code tag_FP_arch}, which was producing <em>assertion fail</em>
error messages in GNU Binutils.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35209">Issue 35209</a>)
</li>
<li>Removed <em>Unknown EABI object attribute 44</em> warning when
{@code binutils-2.19/ld} links prebuilt object by newer {@code binutils-2.21}</li>
<li>Fixed an issue in GNU {@code stdc++} compilation with both {@code -mthumb} and
{@code -march=armv7-a}, by modifying {@code make-standalone-toolchain.sh} to populate
{@code headers/libs} in sub-directory {@code armv7-a/thumb}.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35616">Issue 35616</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed <em>unresolvable R_ARM_THM_CALL relocation</em> error.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35342">Issue 35342</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed internal compiler error at {@code reload1.c:3633}, caused by the ARM
back-end expecting the wrong operand type when sign-extend from {@code char}.
(<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50099">GCC Issue 50099</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed internal compiler error with negative shift amount.
(<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-10/msg00594.html">GCC Issue</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fixed {@code -fstack-protector} for X86, which is also the default for the
{@code ndk-build} x86 ABI target.</li>
<li>MIPS-specific fixes:
<ul>
<li>Fixed {@code STLport} endian-ness by setting {@code _STLP_LITTLE_ENDIAN} to 1 when
compiling MIPS {@code libstlport_*}.</li>
<li>Fixed GCC {@code __builtin_unreachable} issue when compiling LLVM.
(<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54369">GCC Issue 54369</a>)</li>
<li>Backported fix for {@code cc1} compile process consuming 100% CPU.
(<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50380">GCC Issue 50380</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>GNU Debugger-specific fixes:
<ul>
<li>Disabled Python support in gdb-7.x at build, otherwise the gdb-7.x configure
function may pick up whatever Python version is available on the host and build
{@code gdb} with a hard-wired dependency on a specific version of Python.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36120">Issue 36120</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed {@code ndk-gdb} when {@code APP_ABI} contains {@code all} and matchs none
of the known architectures.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35392">Issue 35392</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed Windows pathname support, by keeping the {@code :} character if it looks
like it could be part of a Windows path starting with a drive letter.
(<a href="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12843">GDB Issue 12843</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed adding of hardware breakpoint support for ARM in {@code gdbserver}.
(<a href="http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-09/msg00200.html">GDB Issue</a>)
</li>
<li>Added fix to only read the current {@code solibs} when the linker is consistent.
This change speeds up {@code solib} event handling.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37677">Issue 37677</a>)
</li>
<li>Added fix to make repeated attempts to find {@code solib} breakpoints. GDB now
retries {@code enable_break()} during every call to {@code svr4_current_sos()} until
it succeeds.
(<a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/43563">Change 43563</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed an issue where {@code gdb} would not stop on breakpoints placed in
{@code dlopen-ed} libraries.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34856">Issue 34856</a>)
</li>
<li>Fixed {@code SIGILL} in dynamic linker when calling {@code dlopen()}, on system
where {@code /system/bin/linker} is stripped of symbols and
{@code rtld_db_dlactivity()} is implemented as {@code Thumb}, due to not preserving
{@code LSB} of {@code sym_addr}.

<dt>Other bug fixes:</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>Fixed NDK headers:
<ul>
<li>Fixed {@code arch-mips/include/asm/*} code that was incorrectly removed from
original kernel. (<a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/43335">Change
43335</a>)</li>
<li>Replaced struct member data {@code __unused} with {@code __linux_unused} in
{@code linux/sysctl.h} and {@code linux/icmp.h} to avoid conflict with
{@code #define __unused} in {@code sys/cdefs.h}.</li>
<li>Fixed {@code fenv.h} for enclosed C functions with {@code __BEGIN_DECLS} and
{@code __END_DECLS}.</li>
<li>Removed unimplemented functions in {@code malloc.h}.</li>
<li>Fixed {@code stdint.h} defintion of {@code uint64_t} for ANSI compilers.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1952">Issue 1952</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed preprocessor macros in {@code &lt;arch&gt;/include/machine/*}.</li>
<li>Replaced {@code link.h} for MIPS with new version supporting all platforms.</li>
<li>Removed {@code linux-unistd.h}</li>
<li>Move GLibc-specific macros {@code LONG_LONG_MIN}, {@code LONG_LONG_MAX} and
{@code ULONG_LONG_MAX} from {@code &lt;pthread.h&gt;} to {@code &lt;limits.h&gt;}.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fixed a buffer overflow in {@code ndk-stack-parser}.</li>
<li>Fixed {@code _STLP_USE_EXCEPTIONS}, when not defined, to omit all declarations
and uses of {@code __Named_exception}. Compiling and use of {@code __Named_exception}
settings only occurs when {@code STLport} is allowed to use exceptions.</li>
<li>Fixed building of Linux-only NDK packages without also building Windows code. Use the
following settings to perform this type of build:
<pre>./build/tools/make-release.sh --force --systems=linux-x86</pre></li>
<li>Fixed {@code libc.so} so it does not export {@code atexit()} and {@code __do_handler}.
These symbols are exported for ARM builds by the system version of the C library to
support legacy native libraries. NDK-generated should never reference them directly.
Instead, each shared library or executable should embed its own version of these symbols,
provided by {@code crtbegin_*.o}.
<p>If your project is linked with the {@code -nostdlib -Wl,--no-undefined} options, you
must provide your own {@code __dso_handle} because {@code crtbegin_so.o} is not linked in
this case. The content of {@code __dso_handle} does not matter, as shown in the following
example code:</p>
<pre>
extern "C" {
extern void *__dso_handle __attribute__((__visibility__ ("hidden")));
void *__dso_handle;
}
</pre>
</li>
<li>Fixed symbol decoder for ARM used in {@code objdump} for {@code plt} entries to
generate a more readable form {@code function@plt}.</li>
<li>Removed the following symbols, introduced in GCC 4.6 {@code libgcc.a}, from
the X86 platform {@code libc.so} library: {@code __aeabi_idiv0}, {@code __aeabi_ldiv0},
{@code __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr1}, and {@code __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr2}.</li>
<li>Removed unused {@code .ctors}, {@code .dtors}, and {@code .eh_frame} in MIPS
{@code crt*_so.S}.</li>
<li>Updated {@code ndk-gdb} so that it only takes the last line of output for
{@code ndk-build} {@code DUMP_XXXX}. This change ensures that if {@code Application.mk} or
{@code Android.mk} print something with {@code $(info ...)} syntax, it does not get
injected into the result of {@code DUMP_XXXX}.
(<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-ndk/-/ew0lTWGr1UEJ">More info</a>)</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>Other changes:</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li>Removed {@code arch-x86} and {@code arch-mips} headers from
{@code platforms/android-[3,4,5,8]}. Those headers were incomplete, since both X86 and
MIPS ABIs are only supported at API 9 or higher.</li>
<li>Simplified c++ include path in standalone packages, as shown below.

&lt;path&gt;/arm-linux-androideabi/include/c++/4.6.x-google
to:
&lt;path&gt;/include/c++/4.6/
</pre></li>
<li>Fixed {@code ndk-build} to recognize more C++ file extensions by default:
{@code .cc .cp .cxx .cpp .CPP .c++ .C}. You may still use {@code LOCAL_CPP_EXTENSION} to
overwrite these extension settings.</li>
<li>Fixed an issue in {@code samples/san-angeles} that caused a black screen or freeze
frame on re-launch.</li>
<li>Replaced deprecated APIs in NDK samples.
(<a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20017">Issue 20017</a>)
<ul>
<li>{@code hello-gl2} from android-5 to android-7</li>
<li>{@code native-activity} from android-9 to android-10</li>
<li>{@code native-audio} from android-9 to android-10</li>
<li>{@code native-plasma} from android-9 to android-10</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added new branding for Android executables with a simpler scheme in section
{@code .note.android.ident} (defined in {@code crtbegin_static/dynamic.o}) so that
debugging tools can act accordingly. The structure member and values are defined as
follows:
<pre>
static const struct {
int32_t namesz; /* = 8, sizeof ("Android") */
int32_t descsz; /* = 1 * sizeof(int32_t) */
int32_t type; /* = 1, ABI_NOTETYPE */
char name[sizeof "Android"]; /* = "Android" */
int32_t android_api; /* = 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 14 */
}
</pre>
<p>The previous branding options in section {@code .note.ABI-tag} are deprecated.</p>
</li>
<li>Added a new script {@code run-tests-all.sh} which calls {@code run-tests.sh} and
{@code standalone/run.sh} with various conditions. The script {@code run-tests.sh} runs
without the {@code --abi} option, and is enhanced to compile most of the tests for all
supported ABIs and run on all attached devices</li>
