Struct packing fails with clang 16 about fdpp HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks!
I asked in a bug you referenced, what would
be the better fix of the proposed 2. Let's wait.

Would you like to create a PR that
adds the needed PACKED, and
make sure it builds with clang-16?

I added the basic support for clang-16.
Unfortunately its now full of warnings
(even on older clangs) and errors out
on gcc...

I filled bugs for clang:
llvm/llvm-project#62353
llvm/llvm-project#62358
What clang-16 does, seems very inconsistent
at best.

Hi @skitt any idea when make-4.4 will
make it into debian and ubuntu?
Older make does not even support
integer comparisons.

Your guess is as good as mine, it seems its maintainer isn’t active any more. At least it won’t happen before the Debian 12 release in mid-June.

Basically it was said to me on clang
bugzilla that from now on clang is going
to be fully gcc-compatible. Any bugs
would be ported to clang from gcc without
a hesitation, and any clang-specific code
is now invalid by definition.
These are the very sad news, if you ask me.
The last thing we need is a gcc clone...
We can stay at clang-15 abi for some
time, but at a larger scale there is a need
to drop clang from all our projects, as
using it no longer adds any value, which
was officially stated by its maintainers.

Well, clang guys went through lots
of hoops convincing me this change
is not too hostile, and that clang is
still suitable for my needs and will
remain so. They promised to provide
me with alternative solutions as soon
as more unpleasant things are ported
from gcc (like disallowing an unaligned
references).
So this needs more thoughts...
