[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] LLVM 3.4 Branch Freeze

[Hal Finkel]

Bill, et al.,

There are still a number of open bug reports demonstrating miscompiles on x86 with small/reduced test cases. I propose that we either delay this release until these have been fixed, or plan on a point release in the near future. I recommend that we put out another two release candidates, one at the end of this week, and one after another two weeks or so, to allow for these outstanding issues to be resolved.

Specifically, I think that these issues should be resolved prior to the release of 3.4:

 PR18068 [BasicAA]
 PR18067 [GVN]
 PR16431 (multiple; I suspect covered by the previous two)
 PR17638 [IndVarSimplify]
 PR18223 [IndVarSimplify]
 PR17473 [LSR]
 PR18165 [LSR]
 PR16729 [Loop Vectorizer]
 PR17288 [Loop Vectorizer]
 PR18102 [x86 backend or CodeGen]
 PR18000 [x86 backend or CodeGen]
 PR17504 [x86 backend or CodeGen]
 PR17794
 PR17073
 PR16108

 PR18042 [LCSSA] (This hits an assert, but may miscompile with NDEBUG) 

Of course, the same underlying bug may be causing more than one of these, and at least some of these are already being worked on. Thoughts?

Thanks again,
Hal
