The downside of a system like this is that when changes are going in rapidly, the queue grows very large and it takes forever to get your change merged. PR builds are serialized and if a "build" means "make sure it builds on all the Buildbots" then it takes a very long time indeed. There are ways to parallelize builds by speculating that PRs will build cleanly but it gets pretty complicated quickly. > But this would be a radical redesign of the LLVM bot system, and would > have to wait until we're done with the GitHub migration and can spend > a couple of years debating the use of PRs. :-) Heh. Fully guaranteeing buildability of a branch is not a trivial task and will take a LOT of thought and discussion. -David _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
