As we've seen with the fallout from the abi_tag attribute we need better communication between groups in the free software tool chain world, not more fragmentation. _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
