> Is macOS 12 still supported? macOS 12 is just the system I happened to observe it on. It may affect other versions of macOS, and other non-Mac operating systems, as well. When you ask about support, it's important to qualify that as to who is providing the support. It's true that Apple no longer issues regular updates for macOS 13 or earlier, and it's true that GitHub no longer offers runners for macOS 13 or earlier. However, in February 2026 Apple did issue unexpected minor updates for macOS 10.15 and macOS 11. Just because the manufacturer no longer supports an OS version doesn't mean that it or the other software on it or the computer it's running on stop working. There are millions of functional Macs with Intel processors out there that cannot be upgraded to the latest macOS versions, merely because Apple decided it should be so. Third-party software developers can make different choices and can continue to offer new versions of their software for older computers. In the case of the problem I reported, I stand by my suggestion to check for the feature at cmake time by simply asking the compiler (whatever model or version it is) what it supports, and using that result throughout the rest of the code. I think this is both less complex and more reliable than what you're doing now. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
