That would also not burden the GCC build with probing for different compiler options. Please also add a comment in the code that explains that the first option is a GCC option and the second one is a Clang-ism. > Since this solution also won't win a beauty price please let me know > if it is acceptable before respinning the patch or if you have other > suggestions. This one already looks a lot cleaner to me than any of the previous ones.
