Can you tune up the comments a little bit? If you look up http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/cxx0x_status.html you'll see that most of the C++11 features are already implemented (and e.g. at_quick_exit is implemented too in some libcs), so the __cplusplus macro isn't lying. Clang apparently defines __cplusplus to 201103L much longer than GCC does, yet it supports much smaller subset of C++11. Apparently it parses the C++11 generalized attribute syntax, but at least clang 3.0 doesn't complain at all about anything between the [[ and ]] pair, [[foobar, foobaz (bar, baz, 2, 6, 0x1z2)]] void bar (void); is parsed just fine, and with [[noreturn]] it miscompiles even the first [[noreturn]] trivial testcase I wrote. See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-10/msg02027.html for why we set __cplusplus to the value we do. So please leave about the "disgusting", "brain damage", "lies" etc. > 2011-12-29 Steven G.
