Bug ID: 23378
Summary: Lacking documentation on -fapple-kext
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Macintosh
OS: MacOS X
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: Frontend
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The -fapple-kext option specifies that clang generate kext codes for C++ files
instead of regular user-space codes. But this option is undocumented here and
elsewhere.
I'm among those who believe that an overly-complicated language such as C++
should never be used to program a system kernel or a compiler, Much of the
esoteric features of C++ has complicated the implementations of the language.
Although I'm fine with Clang being written in C++ since it's already capable of
self-hosting, I'd have a serious argument with someone if he uses it in system
kernel, especially when ABI is poorly documented.
