[LLVMdev] Difficulties Getting a Bug Fix Committed

[Michael Muller]

Hi all, 

I've been waiting for almost three months now to get a patch committed to LLVM
that fixes what I consider to be a fairly significant bug in the JIT
(http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13678) but I've been having a hard time
getting traction on it.  So far Duncan Sands is the only one who has given it
any attention, but as of the last time I checked it still wasn't committed and
the bug is still open.

Right now we ship our code with a patch to fix this in 3.1, I really don't
want to have to do that again for 3.2.

I appreciate the difficulties in running a project as large as LLVM, and it
looks like there are some recent structural changes that might decentralize
some of the review/commit burden, but it doesn't speak well for your project
when you have a bug with a fix and a unit test just ready to go that's not
getting into the next release.

Can anyone help me move this forward?
