Apple does a lot in it's clang fork to relax the restrictiveness. Seriously, set your default compilers to what 10.6.8 has to live with; at least share in it with us! But I can see I'm outvoted here. My great dream of no older systems tickets dies. :) K > On Sep 28, 2019, at 01:14, Chris J

I think it would be fair to invite everyone to try setting the default compiler list for a week on your own systems to our current macports clang progression! Compilers are always ahead of the codebase by a couple of years. What are the clang-using Linux distros defaulting, I wonder? That might

Hi, I would not be particularly in favour of changing things as you suggest. For me the defaults as they are are correct. They should start with the newest clang available and work back, in order. For specific ports that have issues, either fix the port to work with a recent clang, or if not
