Is there anything > missing or was it just forgotten? I think the idea was to upgrade, instead of have this newer version next to the current version. The upgrade involves a lot of rebuilding, and I am stuck at compiling 'dub' with 3.9.1. If we can instead apply this patch as (having both 3.8.1 and 3.9.1), we can push it, and after that add the darktable patch as well.

I think it’s fine to have multiple versions of LLVM + Clang around, especially considering that in my experience many dependent projects won’t build with later versions without adjustments. (RStudio, for example, still insists on the oldest version of Clang that we offer, and it crashes with later versions.) It would be good to keep an eye on this, though, to make sure that we don’t provide outdated versions that have no users and no maintainer. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Yes, please! :) If you can, it would be good to investigate if current users of 3.8 could be built with 3.9, but this doesn’t have to block this patch in my opinion. If in fact all users of 3.8 can be built with 3.9 without problems you can make the change in a follow-up commit. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I am sure that at least 'c-reduce' does not build with 3.9.1. So I think we'll need to take this on a per-program basis. I'll see which ones can be built with 3.9.1. Thanks!
