Is it really a good idea to target a release candidate of LLVM in the Stable branch by default? I can understand wanting to benefit from new features, but I wouldn't want production code to be running on something that LLVM does not yet consider ready for release.
- pornel 6y agoRust tends to exercise code paths in LLVM that clang doesn't, so from Rust's perspective LLVM was never particularly stable (e.g. pointer aliasing has been broken in LLVM for years). In that case it's better to get fixes for known bugs in LLVM ASAP.
