We can allocate space in numbering for vendor extensions.
What happens when you compile two sources with two different
compilers and they
use the same number for vendor extension? You just end up with weird
results
in the IDE or performance analysis program.
Also what happens after you fill up the vendor extension range?
Also what happens when you change your compiler but not IDE, but you
don't
want to update the IDE? Like for an example I compile myself GCC 5.0.0
which adds LTO and you get more data (that was not implemented in
4.2.0).
I personally don't have access to Xcode sources to get an updated
version
or Shark code (unless you are going to release them into open source
which
I doubt Apple wants that). I want all the new features of GCC 5.0.0
and the
new optimization diary support and there is no way to get that
support with
numbers. With messages I get all this support for free and you don't
need
a mapping in the IDE at all (unless you want translation).
Oh, by the way does Xcode provide a way to change the language which the
error messages are outputted because I cannot find one?
