Product: gcc

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dje at gcc dot gnu.org

is defined in the Clang documentation and implemented in Clang.

The functionality for GNU C is helpful to implement overloaded intrinsic /
built-in functions, such as Altivec vec_add, as inlined functions.
