I don't think it implies that: why cannot cc_stack_align_opt probe for the compiler option and use whichever is available, without hard-coding the compiler name? > I also think this is a cleaner solution. [...] I concur with hpa: hard-coding compiler is awfully fragile and ugly as well. With the proper probing of compiler options it will be possible for compilers to consolidate their options, and it would be possible for a third compiler to use a mixture of GCC and Clang options. With hard-coding none of that flexibility is available. > but I'm happy to respin the patch if you have another suggestion that is ok for > both of you. Please do.
