Assuming CLANG8ELF and CLANG8PE were functional, would both be needed? It kind of sounds like this a half-finished investigation. I'm guessing that if CLANG8PE produces equal or better code, then it would be preferred. Therefore, shouldn't we just finish the investigation, and add a single CLANG8 toolchain at the end? Or, maybe to reflect that it mostly uses the LLVM tool stack we could name it LLVM8. -Jordan -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
