[llvm-dev] Need help with code generation

What I don't get this what is the point of a "somewhat secure". Does
it make a difference if takes 5 minutes of 5 hours to find a buffer
overflow?

And today it is still way easier to crash llvm than lld. I posted two
crashes with just what I noticed going on the list.  No one even
posted an ELF that would crash lld.

It is really annoying how much people care about "security" to
criticize my work, but never enough to send a patch. llvm.org/pr21466
is open since Nov 2014. That is on the side of the project that should
be handling broken files.

Would it end this thread if I went that way? Just say that there are
bugs in lld and just not fix them for over a year?

Cheers,
