For what its worth, it is only MSVC without support. gcc compiler extensions are otherwise still rather portable. To clang and icc at least.

How recently? I've been enough versions back that clang documented pragmas haven't been available. The cleanup attribute... I can only find docs for GCC. Although I see LLVM bugs for it, so you're right about clang supporting it - at least on HEAD.

Portable or not, I'd say only about half the extensions I've sought out on clang have actually been available. If that.

I should note in scenario #2 above I don't have these available either, since these are decent C++ compilers.
