clang-cl: Ignore /Zc:externConstexpr and /Zc:throwingNew
Needs ReviewPublic

Authored by ki.stfu on Sep 9 2020, 4:57 AM.

Details

Summary

The first option tells the compiler to use external linkage for constexpr variables, and the second one prevents null checks after operator new which can throw.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-externconstexpr and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-throwingnew-assume-operator-new-throws

Not sure, but I'd be surprised if Clang behaves like MSVC in one of these cases.

I'm not sure ignoring these is the right thing to do. Maybe they should be "Unsupported but parsed options" instead?

@hans they are ignored because Clang behaves like MSVC with these options
enabled (C++ standard conformance mode)

Ah, I got it backwards. Yeah, ignoring these makes sense.

Can you add the variants with trailing dash (e.g. /Zc:externConstexpr-) as parsed but unsupported?
