[LLVMdev] PowerPC Regressions for LLVM 1.6

[John Criswell]

Dear All,

Thanks to the testing done by Bill Wendling, we have the following list 
of regressions for PPC:

TEST (cbe) 'exception_spec_test' FAILED! ********************
TEST (cbe) 'function_try_block' FAILED! ********************

Oopack (jit, llc, and cbe) also fails, but I don't know if that's a 
regression or not.

I'm alright with releasing with these regressions (they're exception 
handling issues), but if someone wants to fix these in the release 
branch, that's fine.

Tanya, do you have any results to report for Sparc?

Also, a note about the release branch: I will no longer be merging bug 
fixes for the release from mainline CVS to the branch.  If you're 
working on the release, you'll need to commit fixes directly to the 
release branch.

All changes in the release branch will get merged back into mainline CVS 
after the release is done, so if you fix something in the release 
branch, I'll automatically merge it with mainline.  Merging the branch 
into mainline is just a lot easier than merging individual revisions 
into the branch.
:)

If you need help with committing stuff to the release branch, just email 
the list or ask me on the IRC channel.  This gist of it is that you get 
a working copy from CVS with the release branch tag (cvs co -r 
release_16) and then do your commits in that working copy (all commits 
will automatically go into the release_16 branch).

Thanks again, everbody, for your help with this release.  I think we'll 
be getting it out either today or tomorrow if everything goes well.
