The warning won't be produced in a compiler built without debugging. Is there any way you could detect this in the front-end and produce a proper diagnostic? (I haven't thought about that and haven't looked at the code, so forgive me if that's a stupid idea.) Otherwise, you just have to print out the warning to "errs()". In the long term, we need to figure out how to let the optimizer and code-gen produce real diagnostics (tracked at Apple in <<a href="rdar://problem/12867368">rdar://problem/12867368</a>>).<br></blockquote><br>Backend errors like this should be reported with LLVMContext::emitError.</blockquote></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><br>-Chris</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
