ahatanak added a comment. The motivation for this change was to silence linker errors I saw when compiling and linking programs in which operator new was called to allocate over-aligned types (similar to the code in cxx1z-aligned-allocation.cpp). Linkage failed because clang would emit the calls to the operator with alignment which were not implemented in the library.
I see now that it is probably not a good idea to disable this in the compiler for the two reasons you brought up. Is there any cases where we can turn the linker error into a compile time error? https://reviews.llvm.org/D34574 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
