1368- attribute, the compiler can generate warnings about the use of any language features, or calls to

13751377^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
13761378
13771379- In loops where the loop condition is opaque (i.e. the analyzer cannot
13781380 determine whether it's true or false), the analyzer will no longer assume
1379- execution paths that perform more that two iterations. These unjustified
1381+ execution paths that perform more than two iterations. These unjustified
13801382 assumptions caused false positive reports (e.g. 100+ out-of-bounds reports in
13811383 the FFMPEG codebase) in loops where the programmer intended only two or three
13821384 steps but the analyzer wasn't able to understand that the loop is limited.
1385+ (#GH119388)
1386+
1387+ - In clang-19, the ``crosscheck-with-z3-timeout-threshold `` was set to 300ms,
1388+ but it is now reset back to 15000, aka. 15 seconds. This is to reduce the
1389+ number of flaky diagnostics due to Z3 query timeouts.
1390+ If you are affected, read the details at #GH118291 carefully.
1391+
1392+ - Same as the previous point, but for ``crosscheck-with-z3-rlimit-threshold ``
1393+ and ``crosscheck-with-z3-eqclass-timeout-threshold ``.
1394+ This option is now set to zero, aka. disabled by default. (#GH118291)
1395+
1396+ - Fixed a crash in the ``unix.Stream `` checker when modeling ``fread ``. (#GH108393)
1397+
1398+ - Fixed a crash in the ``core.StackAddressEscape `` checker related to ``alloca ``.
1399+ Fixes (#GH107852).
1400+
1401+ - Fixed a crash when invoking a function pointer cast from some non-function pointer. (#GH111390)
1402+
1403+ - Fixed a crash when modeling some ``ArrayInitLoopExpr ``. Fixes (#GH112813).
1404+
1405+ - Fixed a crash in loop unrolling. Fixes (#GH121201).
1406+
1407+ - The iteration orders of some internal representations of symbols were changed
1408+ to make their internal ordering more stable. This should improve determinism.
1409+ This also reduces the number of flaky reports exposed by the Z3 query timeouts.
1410+ (#GH121749)

1412+ - The ``unix.BlockInCriticalSection `` now recognizes the ``lock() `` member function
