[PATCH] D10725: Improve testing for the C API

[Amaury SECHET via llvm-commits]

Well somone need to make a judgement call. Ther are people willing to do the work already and there is need. Right now all work on the C API is suspended in limbo, that's not good.

I think this is pretty clear that people want the C API, are willing to see some part of it being modified from one version to the other granted that :

- These changes are only done when strictly necessary by change in LLVM. The ptr change for instance seems to be a reasonable reason to change it.
- Preferably, new function have different names than existing ones, as C do not mangle signature, so changing the signature of a function mid-road can cause silent breakage.

It seems clear that core devs want to move fast (and I support that direction as well) and be able to refactor in depth, so there is no 50 ways around all of this.

I don't think anyone has anythign to add the the thread at this stage, everythign has been said, doesn't it ?
