[llvm-dev] Uncovering non-determinism in LLVM - An Update

Hi All,

I wanted to share a couple of updates on the effort to uncover 
non-determinism in LLVM through reverse iteration.

1. Reverse iteration has now been enabled for DenseMap 
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D35043)

2. We have setup a nightly reverse iteration buildbot 
(http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/reverse-iteration).
This builds all LLVM targets with reverse iteration ON and runs ninja 
check-all. Currently there are 14 unit test failures. Please feel free 
to fix these.

Also currently, only I receive the nightly email notification for this 
buildbot run. My plan is to enable sending the nightly notifications to 
llvm-commits once all 14 failures have been resolved.
Please let me know if the community wants the nightly notifications even 
with the failures.
As a potential next step, I was thinking about bootstrapping this 
reverse iteration LLVM to compile itself. Not sure if it can uncover 
more bugs but maybe worth a shot.

All comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Mandeep
