Clang 16 changed to consider dereferencing a void* to be a warning-as-error, plus made this an error in SFINAE contexts, since this resulted in incorrect template instantiation. When doing so, the Clang 16 documentation was updated to reflect that this was likely to change again to a non-disablable error in the next version. As there has been no response to changing from a warning to an error, I believe this is a non-controversial change. This patch changes this to be an Error, consistent with the standard and other compilers. This was discussed in this RFC: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-can-we-stop-the-extension-to-allow-dereferencing-void-in-c/65708 Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D150875
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
