I would absolutely love to see our GCC have blocks support. It would be very nice to be able to use blocks in libc. I have some macros that allow code to call blocks even when compiled with a compiler that doesn't support them, but having native blocks support would be fantastic. It's worth noting that Apple's libc includes a few _b variants of standard library functions: scandir_b err_set_exit_b fts_open_b glob_b atexit_b bsearch_b heapsort_b mergesort_b psort_b qsort_b These all do the same as their non-_b-suffixed equivalents, but take a block as an argument instead of a function pointer. Adding them has been on my todo list for a while, and this would give me a strong incentive to do so...
