Hi,

Speaking as one of the developer of this toolchain I would like to make it clear that we do care about bug reports people submit and we try our best to solve them. In this case we appear to have dropped the ball at some point and I appreciate the ping together with a confirmation that people are still encountering this bug.

One important point I would like to make is that given our limited resources we have to prioritize the bug report we make based on (i) how serious it is, (ii) how many people are affected (ie. is it an edge case?) and (iii) how complex is the bug fix. For instance the compiler generating wrong code would be deemed more critical but a bug like this would almost certainly take priority over better optimization.

Best regards.
