[LLVMdev] LLC ARM Backend maintainer

[Rotem, Nadav]

Hi Tanya, 

The new type-legalization mode (-promote-elements) which enables vector-select in LLVM (and a nice perf boost for several workloads), is currently disabled because of a _single_ bug in the ARM codegen which makes a few tests fail.  If ARM is not a supported target, can I mark these tests as 'XFAIL' and enable vector-select support in LLVM ?

Thanks,
Nadav

Maybe I just need to better understand LLVM release process, I've seen a mail in this list about it.

Bugs get fixed if there are people to fix them. There are numerous people working on ARM and patches are also accepted.

ARM is not currently a target that we support for releases. So those bugs are not release blockers.
