Getting rid of "%T" expansions

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi llvm-dev,

In <https://reviews.llvm.org/D35396>, several folks agreed that %T is a generally bad idea and should be removed, because it causes randomly flaky tests due to name collisions. This is a heads-up that I have patches to remove uses of %T throughout LLVM, Clang and compiler-rt ready to commit. Unless someone objects, I’ll land them in a few days.

+1. %T is confusing and dangerous, and we don't really need it anyway.
