--- Comment #16 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Jakub Jelinek from comment #15) > That looks risky to me, changes behavior.

Yes, we can either: diff --git a/gcc/c-family/c-common.c b/gcc/c-family/c-common.c index 5089013ddcd..17c98bcba8b 100644 --- a/gcc/c-family/c-common.c +++ b/gcc/c-family/c-common.c @@ -9447,7 +9447,6 @@ handle_target_attribute (tree *node, tree name, tree args, int flags, && TREE_STRING_LENGTH (value) == 1 && TREE_STRING_POINTER (value)[0] == '\0') { - warning (OPT_Wattributes, "empty string in attribute %<target%>"); *no_add_attrs = true; } } That will however skip entire attribute: __attribute__((target("sse4.2", "", ""))) Or I can do patch that will just remove empty strings in a TREE_LIST. What way do you prefer?
