This is not under our control.</p>
<p>On the other hand, alternative tokens are indeed *rarely* used (at least in KDE they are mostly used b/c of simple typos) and only cause harm when code is being ported to MSVC. I'd like to avoid running into issues like that whenever possible.</p>
<p>In general It'd be better to have a compiler *warning* instead when alternative tokens are used, but there isn't.</p>
<p>I'm undecided -- Apparently we've already fixed all issues in KDE land (/me didn't hear any more complaints so far), so we're good in that are. But problems from upgrading versions of dependent libraries can still be a problem -- though still easily fixed by stripping the flag inside CMake user code...</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R240 Extra CMake Modules</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D3850" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D3850</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>EMAIL PREFERENCES</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>kfunk, Frameworks, Build System, ivan<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>thomasp, rakuco, elvisangelaccio<br /></div>
