Re: [PATCH] Avoid creating TREE_OVERFLOW constants in convert_to_integer (PR middle-end/26729)
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk/4.1?
Please do not put this on the 4.1 branch. Kazu's patch has already
introduced
regressions for Ada there (which have not been fixed yet) and I
think your
patch could introduce more.
Errr, either it does or it doesn't.
If it's been regtested on 4.1, and doesn't cause regressions in the
Ada testsuite, it doesn't cause regressions in the Ada testsuite (at
least for that platform).
If you want to say "look, i've tested it against our internal tests,
and it causes a regression there, here's a testcase", that's fine.
But we shouldn't be blocking people from putting things on release
branches that fix bugs if they've gone through the required testing.
At least, that's not the policy we have documented.
