[llvm-dev] Need help with code generation

[Lang Hames via llvm-dev]

Hi Rafael,

Are you guys fixing llvm to also not crash on invalid input? What is the

Slowly?

Effort on handling errors is balanced with other priorities, but as a
matter of policy I don't think LLVM libraries should crash on user input.

On a related note, it is the macho lld what currently prevents the asan

Pete's has been working on this the last couple of days. We should have a
fix soon.
