I objected in the RFC, either. Note that the objection is not > only from me, also from a Linux distro folk I checked with. If we aren't adding Linux functionality, we should make it throw an error at the same time. Once again, ignoring the option without stopping with an error code is not ideal. I can update this patch to throw an error on Linux, much like this patch for z/OS: https://reviews.llvm.org/D137756 Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D137753/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D137753 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
