[llvm-dev] Miscompilation while switching from clang-4 to clang-5

[Alex Denisov via llvm-dev]

Hi Tim,

The verbose mode is a good idea, thank you.

I've gathered all compilation commands with -v flag for clang-4 and clang-5 and they are identical (excerpt of compiler version).
I will try to find what has changed in clang/llvm between the versions.

If there are any other hints: send them my way :)
