In fact, maintaining our LLVM patches has been quite easy ([and we've been doing that out-of-tree since 2019](https://github.com/managarm/bootstrap-managarm/commit/565104262b7aa96995c80c86b6857ae872da6efa)), but maintaining patches for downstream compilers tends to be much more involved. This is especially true for Rust, where the mainstream tooling is not built in a way that allows us to easily apply out-of-tree patches to packages managed by `cargo` etc. One of the main reasons why we want to get into upstream LLVM now is that we also have a Rust port that we want to upstream, and upstream Rust wants us to submit the LLVM target first. We are committed to maintain our LLVM port indefinitely, and we've been doing it out-of-tree already since LLVM 6. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/87845 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
