That said, such a move that you’re talking about is something that will take time, because this is a social problem as well as a technical one.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Instead of starting from a “can we do everything” question (which you’re already getting some “no’s”), I’d start with an easier question of “is anyone ok with mechanically formatting <b class="">any</b> pieces of llvm?” There will be some folks (e.g. the MLIR ones, perhaps the flang ones?) that are more likely to be early adopters, and this gives the opportunity to figure out policies and tools to help maintain things. Then you can move on to other subdirectories within llvm/clang/etc, and progressively get there. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This helps achieve your goal of getting more of the stack, but avoids it being an “all or nothing” sort of dichotomy.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Chris</div></body></html>
