Guess this was never necessary, as GCC used to be the only compiler that could build the Linux kernel, and the standard could be defined by a combination of GCC flags. This is no more the case, but adding a separate "standard" (which may end up being vaguely defined and containing ad-hoc hacks) will require a lot of effort from the three communities (Linux, GCC and LLVM) Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D64742/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D64742 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
