I admit I belong to a small group of not-too-bright people who still aspire to use LLVM. But I kind of see that as a highly valuable feature, insofar I convert this fact into something constructive (such as FAQ writing) :-) I actually did recommend people to disable their antivirus solution for two reasons - the aforementioned "virus" and the speed slowdown that they'll experience,

Sounds like a great idea. On Windows there are so many types of antivirus solutions, that it is impossible to provide a detailed description of how to add an ignored folder for all of them. -- A Windows user only for the games. 2012/6/15 Hal Finkel <hfinkel at anl.gov> > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Chandler Carruth" <chandlerc at google.com>

These are exactly the types of things virus *already do* to get by

Thanks for your input. We are getting closer and closer to the final solution to this issue. I agree with you, on second thought, that only THE offending file should be excluded. If somebody is stupid enough to disable their antivirus or remove it (namely me), it is their own choice and is not something that all of the LLVM group has to take part in. So, I'll make sure the Windows docs

Hi, Here's the final, confirmed working version of my Windows guide for how to set up a MinGW buildbot slave. Please consider to include it in the documentation on the LLVM website. Basically, it saves the newcoming Windows user about two or three days of experimentation to get it all working. I think those days are important as many people balk at spending days on figuring out how to get

Am I the only one who thinks that it is impractical that the Sphinx intro is buried deep within the lld documentation? I suggest moving it to the Programming Documentation document. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That reminds me: Do the web documents reside in a repository somewhere or should I just grab them using wget? 2012/6/14 Michael Spencer <bigcheesegs at gmail.com> > On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 4:02 PM, Mikael Lyngvig <mikael at lyngvig.org> > wrote: > > If nobody else is doing it, I can translate the FAQ into Sphinx as I'd > like > > to begin gradually extending

We should make LLD to be able to build with GCC even if GCC is a bit buggy. So you wrote that it's no longer build because of the recent change of makeArrayRef removal? I think it's my change (r196475). Can you confirm that you can build if you revert that change? If it has caused the build with GCC to break, we should roll it back.
