This paper (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3411.pdf) allows a source file to end without a newline. Clang has supported this as a conforming extension for a long time, so this suppresses the diagnotic in C2y mode but continues to diagnose as an extension in earlier language modes. It also continues to diagnose if the user passes -Wnewline-eof explicitly.

Subject: [PATCH] [C2y] Implement WG14 N3411

This paper allows a source file to end without a newline. Clang has
supported this as a conforming extension for a long time, so this
suppresses the diagnotic in C2y mode but continues to diagnose as an
extension in earlier language modes. It also continues to diagnose if
the user passes -Wnewline-eof explicitly.
