Re: RFC: Enable __declspec for Linux/x86

If the Windows version of GCC has to recognize __declspec to function
as a hosted compiler on Windows, then the work already needs to be done
to implement it.  So what's the harm in allowing it on other platforms?
If it makes it easier for Windows programmers to move to free compilers
and OSes, isn't that something that should be supported?


The only problem is that we have to be bug compatiable with all
__declspec issues and having no documentation is going to make this
harder.  This is why Intel/AMD really should define a real language
extension documentation for programming for SSE.
