Extraction

-

The NDK package is a self-extracting binary. To unpack it, follow the procedure for your - development platform:

- When uncompressed, the NDK files are contained in a directory called - android-ndk-<version>. You can rename the NDK directory if necessary and you - can move it to any location on your computer. This documentation refers to the NDK directory as - <ndk>. - - -

You are now ready to start working with the NDK.

+ Android NDK, Revision 11 (March 2016) +

+
+
+
Clang
+
+
    +
  • Important announcements +
      +
    • We strongly recommend switching to Clang. +
        +
      • If you experience problems with Clang, file bugs + here for issues + specific to Clang in the NDK. For more general Clang issues, + file bugs by following the instructions on + this page.
        • +
      +
      • +
    • Clang has been updated to 3.8svn (r243773, build 2481030). +
        +
      • This version is a nearly pure upstream Clang.
        • +
      • The Windows 64-bit downloadable NDK package contains a 32-bit + version of Clang.
        • +
      +
      • +
    +
    • + +
  • Additions +
      +
    • Clang now provides support for emulated TLS. +
        +
      • The compiler now supports {@code __thread} by emulating + ELF TLS with pthread thread-specific data.
        • +
      • C++11 {@code thread_local} works in some cases, but not + for data with non-trivial destructors, because those cases + require support from libc. This limitation does not + apply when running on Android 6.0 (API level 23) or newer.
        • +
      • Emulated TLS does not yet work with Aarch64 when + TLS variables are accessed from a shared library.
        • +
