I believe __BLOCKS__ is supported by clang, although testing for it is discouraged in favour of the __has_{feature,extension} mechanism. Thank you for the hint. Is there some way to have this happen only for our GCC-4.2.1 but not for clang or newer gcc? I am getting ready to commit the blocks support [1] but we can leave the macro magic for later, while there is some consensus on the dark arts involved ;). Pedro. [1] I ran buildworld and rebuilt boost and some ports with the modified compiler ... so far, so good. I don't think an exp-run is necessary since the blocks stuff is not yet being used for any port.
