dannypsnl commented 3 years ago

SInce #199, I want to backport DISPFlags to v10 and v11, thus we better based on release branches to have

  1. v0.3.2.1 ~> 10
  2. v0.3.3.1 ~> 11

Personally, I don't know if we should be supporting and backporting to older versions of LLVM, as this could require a lot of maintenance for our small team.

When syntax changes between versions in LLVM, I think it is better to include a how to documentation to help users upgrade their old LLVM IR syntax to newer versions of LLVM. This can be done using the official LLVM tool chain. E.g. using opt from a newer version of LLVM.

opt -S -o new_synatx.ll old_syntax.ll

@dannypsnl, if however you wish to backport and continue to support older releases, then I suggest we use the branch names e.g. release-branch.llvm10, release-branch.llvm11 in those cases.

Cheers, Robin

Yes, team size is a big problem here XD, close for now. If anyone wants to have backporting, feel free to reopen it.
