Sylvain Corlay added the comment: Thanks Ned. I posted a couple of messages on distutils-sig and got little attention.
I think that this feature is very important for detecting whether a compiler supports a certain flag like `-std=c++11` and provide a meaningful error when needed. CMake has the same feature, implemented in a similar fashion (CHECK_CXX_COMPILER_FLAG). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
