[llvmlinux] clang 3.6 compile failure but clang 3.4 success

[Jovi Zhangwei]

Hi,

I just tried clang 3.6 compile on one file in Linux kernel, it failed,
but clang 3.4 can success.
(I didn't apply any patch on clang source code, it's from clang repo
36 release tag)

Anyone can help this would be much appreciated.

In Linux kernel:
