I can specify you the behaviour even if I never looked at sources of that feature in Gcc, and I'm sure anybody who writes compilers can do the same. It's nothing earth-shattering, much easier to specify than most of C++ features, and certainly not harder to implement than most of C++.
I see a lot of developers like to ignore C, giving immense priority to C++ and that makes me sad. C has certainly potential to also get some features first implemented by major compilers and only then standardized, just like it happens all the time with other languages.
"Will never be implemented" in the compiler error message is still quite telling about the climate among the clang developers. Are you one of them?
