Build farm measles update:
With that we can see that nicator (LLVM 15 on POWER) is green. We can
see that cavefish (LLVM 6 on POWER) is red as expected. We can also
see that bonito (LLVM 7 on POWER) is red, so my earlier theory that
this might be due to the known bug we got fixed in LLVM 7 is not
enough. Maybe there are other things fixed on POWER somewhere between
those LLVM versions? I suspect it'll be hard to figure out without
debug builds and backtraces.
One thing is definitely our fault, though. xenodermus shows failures
on REL_12_STABLE and REL_13_STABLE, using debug LLVM 6 on x86. I
couldn't reproduce this locally on (newer) debug LLVM, so I bugged
Andres for access to the host/libraries and chased it down. There is
some type punning for a function parameter REL_13_STABLE and earlier,
removed by Andres in REL_14_STABLE, and when I back-patched my
refactoring I effectively back-patched a few changes from his commit
df99ddc70b97 that removed the type punning, but I should have brought
one more line from that commit to remove another trace of it. See
attached.
