As Ehsan mentioned, we're blocked on switching to 2012 until they sort out XP support, but that should be in SP1 (which is usually a safe release to wait for anyway). I'd support switching to 2012SP1 when it is released. Microsoft has been pretty good about fixing compiler bugs when we submit them with test cases. It can be hard to get a useful reproducible testcase out of a PGO compiler bug, but we should probably try harder to do so so we have a chance of removing these workarounds in the future. -Ted _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
