Hi All, During a discussion about instruction scheduling in LLVM [1], I realize that class PostRASchedulerList actually is deprecated. The documentation of instruction scheduling is pretty poor, so I cannot find such information. Removing the obsoleted class might be too aggressive. I am wondering if we can mark the class as deprecated [2] (seems C++14 feature required), or at least making a

The Developer Policy document (https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html) contains a Section "C API Changes". There is no corresponding section for C++ API Changes. LLVM is somewhat different from most libraries in that the main language is C++ but the C++ API is not guaranteed to be stable in any shape or form from what I understand. I think it would be useful to have a "C++ API

Hi all, At the dev meeting I promised to update everyone on where my work with opaque pointers is right now. It's taken me a while, but at least it's the same year! Current Status ============== I've put two branches up at https://github.com/TNorthover/llvm-project: "opaque-ptr" which has most of the real work so far; and "opaque-ptr-always" that additionally has

There’s no getting around having one’s own type hierarchy. >> And also - is it possible to use
