In previous versions of Clang, __declspec attribute support was enabled by default for all targets. This was rectified in r238238 so that you had to turn on Microsoft or Borland mode to enable support for __declspec, as we determined we did not want it to be a core language extension of Clang. However, there are some users that would like the ability to use __declspec without turning on all rest of the Microsoft language extensions. For instance, CUDA uses __declspec(property) in some of its implementation headers, and SCE would like to enable it for Playstation code as well.
To that end, I am wondering there is any push-back with the idea of adding a flag to enable support for only __declspec. Then other flag or targets can enable this automatically as-needed, but it also allows the user to disable the functionality if they would prefer a more conforming mode for their compilations. Options for bikeshedding the name of the flag: -fattr-declspec, -fdeclspec-attr, -fdeclspec, -f__declspec ~Aaron _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@cs.uiuc.edu http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
