The error message I'm looking for is something like the one I wrote in the summary: error: the clang compiler does not support 'native' I didn't include a test case because I didn't know how to write a test that passes on an aarch64 host and fails on anything else. Do you know of any test cases in trunk that pass or fail depending on which host it is running on? > Back to the code... > > Passing the pointer to a boolean is leaking logic from getAArch64TargetCPU > out.

Wouldn't it break on an aarch64 host? With "-mtune=native", the current code in trunk will get the host cpu name (which I believe is currently always "generic" for aarch64). But if I apply this patch, it will error out because "native" is not a valid cpu name. http://reviews.llvm.org/D14471 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
