The best coarse of action, post a patch, have it reviewed and put in. Current action, a patch has been posted, the review is outstanding, I’d like to see it put in; though, I am curious why the casts were there in the first place. Another way out, #ifndef clang the entire thing and disappear the contents for clang. I’d be fine with that as well, ultimately the longlong.h people will have to choose how they want to solve the issue. The state of the PR system isn’t as concerning to me as the state of the software tree. The bug _will_ get fixed, one way, or, another. The current patch posted that removes the casts seems like the best possible solution to me.
