New submission from Sylvain Corlay: I would be very useful to have a `has_flag` method in `distutils.CCompiler` similar to `has_function`, allowing to check if the compiler supports certain flags.
Cmake has a `CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG` macro for that purpose, which checks if a simple C++ file compiles with the said flag. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 262805 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, sylvain.corlay priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add `has_flag` method to `distutils.CCompiler` type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
