Unfortunately not much it seems, it's still very much on their TODO list
for 4.8 so will happen at some point, we're just not sure exactly when.
Given this is now specified in the ACLE as unsigned so has to change in GCC,
it might be nice for clang to take the lead on this one rather than waiting
for GCC.
Also as you stated in your previous thread, which I just found, it's
extraordinarily unlikely that many people if anybody will actually be
affected
by this change differing across clang and GCC until GCC changes it.
