This effectively invalidates instructions recently published on LLVM<br>

Also, have you reviewed your patch with OpenMP in Clang code owner<br>
(Alexey Bataev)?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, and that is never a requirement really.</div><div><br></div><div>Code owners don't have *exclusive* rights to approve patches.
