 sterni | yeah sounds like it, tbh I linked this before I read the diff | 17:37:14 |
| sterni | configure would still fail looks like | 17:38:43 |
| sterni | but I guess the wording is significant… | 17:38:55 |
 emily | insofar as LLVM support on old GHCs is cared about it still makes sense to backport even the trivial bumps because it shuts up the warning on every single .hs | 18:10:56 |
| emily | but yeah, when I was looking over all the issues and patches and bumps it seemed like the compatibility issues were all "obvious hard error from CLI change" type things (and even some of those only discovered/fixed after the fact) | 18:12:20 |
| emily | there's things like the LoongArch64 -mcmodel stuff that I linked in the file, but those aren't really related to the version | 18:12:48 |
| emily | like there are "non-obvious bugs/infelicities in the LLVM backend" and there are "obvious compat issues with how they invoke it that produce hard errors when bumping the version", but I couldn't really find anything in the intersection of those | 18:14:02 |
| emily | and several of the bump changes make it clear that the QA process is just "make sure it bootstraps" anyway | 18:14:28 |
