Normal clang supports the same flag. Apple clang potentially too, but not currently: https://opensource.apple.com/source/clang/clang-23/clang/tools/clang/docs/UsersManual.html — it could be outdated information though. I don't have a mac to test. But it's just possible to check for the flag for compilers that we *do* know about. And by checking for it and showing a warning, we make people's lives easire. cheers, Derick
