I believe it's useful for a compiler developer, but not for a user. So I'd remove it from this document. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/212647 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list [email protected] https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
