[LLVMdev] Attract attention of bugs/feature wishes
Hi LLVM devs, I am wondering how you handle bug entries and how I can attract the attention of bugs I want to get fixed. Last time I followed an annoying bug, it was closed by chance and an other developer pointed out, that by the way my bug was fixed. My two recent examples are Bug 17862 - Support attribute deprecated for template alias Bug 21629 - Warning "missing braces around initializer" causing problems with std::array Nobody commented on them, they seemed to be ignored. I don't know whether nobody care, nobody has time, or whether the bugs are utterly stupid. So what can I do beside fixing them myself? Should I vote and ask all my friends to vote, too? Or spamming the mailing list like with this very email?

These issues seem to be in the Clang C++ front-end. This list is for the LLVM back-end. You may have better luck if you contact cfe-dev at cs.uiuc.edu instead.> Nobody commented on them, they seemed to be ignored.

I guess bugs get corrected if some developer cares about them. (That is, if you really want to have something fixed, find your local Clang developer consultant, and contract him to fix the issue. ;-) Of course, this is not only a problem for non-developers. This is sometimes a problem for me as an LLVM developer as well. Usually it is hard to fix issues in areas of the compiler I'm not familiar with.)
