--- Comment #41 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Matthew Woehlke from comment #39) > So? People have been asking for it for at least *13+ years* (this report was > opened in August 2002). Compared to clang which has had this feature for > some years already, gcc is lagging. Until now it was a non-standard extension that GCC didn't support. That's a completely different situation. > I'm also not sure how to react to "less than a week ago". The *wording* was > approved last week. The *feature* was approved (by EWG¹, which is the > approval that matters most for something like this) at Kona, a few months > back. If you're claiming you can't implement without wording, that's one > thing. If you didn't see it coming, then you didn't do your homework. But it wasn't part of the working draft until now. Not everything that gets approved by an EWG poll makes it into a standard. But I'm sure you know all this and are just whining for the sake of it. If you want the feature desperately and can't wait for it to be implemented then you could provide a patch. Without that your comments are not constructive.
