[lldb-dev] Managing Clang and LLVM dependencies systematically

[Kate Stone]

I've made a point of prioritizing getting our tests to run cleanly here, so it would be a good time for the community to do likewise for other platforms.  Among other benefits, Improving the signal/noise ratio for test failures will make the message to LLVM a lot clearer.

Then they will get fixed in lldb right after the change was made when it is clear in people's minds what just went on.  So I wouldn't want to add any of this sort of machinery to lldb's build w.r.t. the build bots.  Now that the build-bots are running regularly, the clang folks can also see the breakage right away and just fix it, which they often do (thanks for that BTW...)  So if there were a "GOOD_LLVM" it should not be used for the build-bots.
