Source: llvm-toolchain-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
A recently merged patch that introduced support for KFreeBSD broke the API
compatibility by introducing pointless renamings of enumeration values (KFreeBSD
to kFreeBSD) and classes/structures.

This change is not purely cosmetic and actively breaks any software that's
making use of the aforementioned enums/struct/classes.

My suggestion is to either amend the patches and be more careful in future in
order to avoid this kind of silly breakage.

Regards,
DH
