Aha, I either wildly misread your patch or read an earlier one, sorry about that!

I applied your llvm patch here (with a few changes + testcase):
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20100412/099668.html

and your clang patch here:

Can you write a testcase for the clang part?

Thanks!
