Linux Kernel Considers Supporting Microsoft C Extensions
The Linux kernel is considering enabling the Microsoft C Extensions via the -fms-extensions compiler flag, which would allow for more flexible and potentially cleaner code by supporting non-standard C/C++ constructs used in Microsoft header files. Two patches are queued for the upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel, and Linus Torvalds appears to be supportive, though some debate remains about adopting this change widely.
