I think this should get higher than a P2 as this is a rejects valid and I even
identified which patch caused the regression. CCing Mark. Also the regression
which that patch fixed was an accepts invalid and just being diagnostic too
late (after template instantiate). Also I should note that it has been more
than 48 hours (the rule goes into effect once the person who caused is
notified) quote from http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html:
Patch Reversion
If a patch is committed which introduces a regression on any target which the
Steering Committee considers to be important and if:
the problem is reported to the original poster;
48 hours pass without the original poster or any other party indicating that a
fix will be forthcoming in the very near future;
two people with write privileges to the affected area of the compiler determine
that the best course of action is to revert the patch;
then they may revert the patch.
(The list of important targets will be revised at the beginning of each release
cycle, if necessary, and is part of the release criteria.)
After the patch has been reverted, the poster may appeal the decision to the
Steering Committee.
Note that no distinction is made between patches which are themselves buggy and
patches that expose latent bugs elsewhere in the compiler.
