Update JIT compilation to use LLVM 19
Original file line number Diff line number Diff line change
@@ -0,0 +1,4 @@
The JIT has been updated to leverage Clang 19’s new ``preserve_none`` attribute,
which supports more platforms and is more useful than LLVM's existing ``ghccc``
calling convention. This also removes the need to manually patch the calling
convention in LLVM IR, simplifying the JIT compilation process.

The JIT compiler does not require end users to install any third-party dependencies, but part of it must be *built* using LLVM[^why-llvm]. You are *not* required to build the rest of CPython using LLVM, or even the same version of LLVM (in fact, this is uncommon).

LLVM version 18 is required. Both `clang` and `llvm-readobj` need to be installed and discoverable (version suffixes, like `clang-18`, are okay). It's highly recommended that you also have `llvm-objdump` available, since this allows the build script to dump human-readable assembly for the generated code.
LLVM version 19 is required. Both `clang` and `llvm-readobj` need to be installed and discoverable (version suffixes, like `clang-19`, are okay). It's highly recommended that you also have `llvm-objdump` available, since this allows the build script to dump human-readable assembly for the generated code.

It's easy to install all of the required tools:

### Linux

Install LLVM 18 on Ubuntu/Debian:
Install LLVM 19 on Ubuntu/Debian:

```sh
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
chmod +x llvm.sh
sudo ./llvm.sh 18
sudo ./llvm.sh 19
```

Install LLVM 18 on Fedora Linux 40 or newer:
Install LLVM 19 on Fedora Linux 40 or newer:

```sh
sudo dnf install 'clang(major) = 18' 'llvm(major) = 18'
sudo dnf install 'clang(major) = 19' 'llvm(major) = 19'
```

### macOS

Install LLVM 18 with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):
Install LLVM 19 with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):

```sh
brew install llvm@18
brew install llvm@19
```

Homebrew won't add any of the tools to your `$PATH`. That's okay; the build script knows how to find them.

### Windows

Install LLVM 18 [by searching for it on LLVM's GitHub releases page](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases?q=18), clicking on "Assets", downloading the appropriate Windows installer for your platform (likely the file ending with `-win64.exe`), and running it. **When installing, be sure to select the option labeled "Add LLVM to the system PATH".**
Install LLVM 19 [by searching for it on LLVM's GitHub releases page](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases?q=19), clicking on "Assets", downloading the appropriate Windows installer for your platform (likely the file ending with `-win64.exe`), and running it. **When installing, be sure to select the option labeled "Add LLVM to the system PATH".**

Alternatively, you can use [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org):

```sh
choco install llvm --version=18.1.6
choco install llvm --version=19.1.0
```

### Dev Containers

If you are working CPython in a [Codespaces instance](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/#using-codespaces), there's no need to install LLVM as the Fedora 40 base image includes LLVM 18 out of the box.
