Release 3.7, 2020-03-31

ISO C conformance:

  • Functions declared extern then implemented inline remain extern
  • The type of a wide char constant is wchar_t, not int
  • Support vertical tabs and treat them as whitespace
  • Define the semantics of free(NULL)

Bug fixing:

  • Take sign into account for conversions from 32-bit integers to 64-bit pointers
  • PowerPC: more precise determination of small data accesses
  • AArch64: when addressing global variables, check for correct alignment
  • PowerPC, ARM: double rounding error in int64->float32 conversions

ABI conformance:

  • x86, AArch64: re-normalize values of small integer types returned by function calls
  • PowerPC: float arguments passed on stack are passed in 64-bit format
  • RISC-V: use the new ELF psABI instead of the old ABI from ISA 2.1

Usability and diagnostics:

  • Unknown builtin functions trigger a specific error message
  • Improved error messages

Coq formalization:

  • Revised modeling of the PowerPC/EREF isel instruction
  • Weaker ec_readonly condition over external calls
    (permissions can be dropped on read-only locations)

Coq and OCaml development:

  • Compatibility with Coq version 8.10.1, 8.10.2, 8.11.0
  • Compatibility with OCaml 4.10 and up
  • Compatibility with Menhir 20200123 and up
