Right, I'm not familiar with that extension, so I can't really give an opinion. Maybe some of the Clang folks could help? Feel free to find the appropriate people and add them as reviewers, so they're aware of it. > I'm not sure how to best add a test for this.

Well, since this is Clang, I think just a simple -### test checking that the flag was passed correctly down to CC1 would be enough, as I assume there are tests already for the flag in CC1 mode.
