[Aaron Ballman via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

aaron.ballman added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/include/clang/Basic/DiagnosticSemaKinds.td:3255-3256
+def warn_not_xl_compatible
+    : Warning<"requested alignment of arguments 16 bytes or greater is not"
+              " compatible with previous versions of the AIX XL compiler">,
+      InGroup<DiagGroup<"builtin-assume-aligned-alignment">>;

The xlclang name implies it's clang based and it's possible for users to expect some sort of binary compatibility.

I missed this last time, sorry, but is "arguments" actually necessary for the diagnostic or can that be dropped?

Minor formatting nit.
