Also, I assume there's some amount of version lock between the rest of the project and the test-suite (cleaning it up if we make breaking changes, etc - the idea of having LLVM bitcode in there for Halide would mean that we wouldn't want to run newer versions of the test-suite on older versions of the compiler, etc).<br><br>So, yeah, just curious about the practical problems, no philosophical objection I suppose.<br><br>- Dave</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>-Chandler</div></font></span></div>
