Thanks for you suggestion Joakim.

I try follow your suggestion,  get all commit from origin branch 
(116 commit by Dan Olson fro IOS brnach).

When I try cherry pick the first commit, get conflict the line 
number is 6232.  (the ios branch is base on cpp and master ldc is 
move to d).

I will try more but I guess It is hard for me to made it work.
