But speaking seriously, we Appleites deal with corporate pressure
to support various hacks by maintaining our own version of GCC and
taking on all the costs that go with that, so I'm wondering why it
is that HP can't do the same. While I personally don't have a problem
doing a little favor for HP, it's going to be really tricky to avoid
charges of favoritism and bias later on if, say, some Apple feature is
shot down.
Alternatively, maybe the answer is that features like -fapple-kext
really should go into the mainline tree. It wouldn't change the ABI
on any platform other than OS X, and it would be very helpful for
us.
