Also changes the generic -Wpre-c23-compat warning about using the constexpr keyword to a more specific one about using the constexpr specifier on a declaration, to match the warning in C++ mode (and warn in Sema instead of reusing a Parse warning) >From 0062c6907033723c3edf8bfb19281b774ade5a71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mital Ashok <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 15:38:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [C23] [Diagnostics] No longer warn with -Wc++98-compat when using constexpr in C23 Also changes the generic -Wpre-c23-compat warning about using the constexpr keyword to a more specific one about using the constexpr specifier on a declaration, to match the warning in C++ mode (and warn in Sema instead of reusing a Parse warning) --- clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst | 2 ++ clang/include/clang/Basic/DiagnosticSemaKinds.td | 3 +++ clang/lib/Parse/ParseDecl.cpp | 2 -- clang/lib/Sema/DeclSpec.cpp | 2 +- clang/test/Sema/constexpr-compat.c | 8 ++++++++ 5 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 clang/test/Sema/constexpr-compat.c diff --git a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst index 3c1eacfc05dc8..b71bd180413ad 100644 --- a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst +++ b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst @@ -558,6 +558,8 @@ Improvements to Clang's diagnostics - Clang now emits error when attribute is missing closing ``]]`` followed by ``;;``.
