Thank you.

Yes the bug occurs in tablegen first but even if you bypass tablegen-debug
it will eventually occur elsewhere too (llvm, lldb etc)..

I'll try to reduce the problem in a isolated test case and submit a bug to
Microsoft.
Sadly I am stuck with 32-bit compile for now because we use liblldb.dll and
libclang.dll as in-process DLL inside a 32-bit .exe.


(Forgot reply-all)
