Subject: [PATCH] configure: Drop obsolete check for the alloc_size attribute
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2021 09:28:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210714072855.785566-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)

We recently bumped our requirement for Clang to at least version 6.0.
And according to:

 https://releases.llvm.org/6.0.0/tools/clang/docs/AttributeReference.html

Clang v6.0 supports the alloc_size attribute. Thus we can drop this
check in the configure script now.
