[LLVMdev] Sporadic "RealOffset <= INT32_MAX && RealOffset >= INT32_MIN" failures with MCJIT on Windows

[Eric Christopher]

Hi Dale,

I don't think that Keno's rewrite is applicable for a bug fix release. We
have, in the last year, moved to having some dot releases for our older
releases, but these are definitely bug fix only and low risk as we don't
want to break anything new.

The release documentation is located here:

http://llvm.org/docs/HowToReleaseLLVM.html

for future reference. There's no official long term support strategy past
the information on that page, previously we released every 6 mos without
dot releases at all so this is a fairly new trial for us. Backporting of
patches is at the discretion of the author, the code owner, and the release
manager.

Keno: perfectly happy to entertain a backport of your patch if you want to
do such a thing, but IIRC it was a bit more than a simple bug fix.
