I don't believe there's been any community discussion of that viewpoint, so that may be a bit premature of statement. I can think of instances where the frontend could benefit from registry usage on Windows in addition to the usages we already have. That being said, it still doesn't affect this particular patch. So if we want to discuss a blanket statement about LLVM developer policy like this, we should probably do it in a more properly-titled thread. :-) ~Aaron _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
