+dnl macro AST_CHECK_STRSEP_ARRAY_BOUNDS0
+dnl
+dnl The optimized strcmp and strsep macro's in
+dnl /usr/include/xxx-linux-gnu/bits/string2.h produce a warning (-Warray-bounds)
+dnl when compiled with clang (+ -O1), when the delimiter parameter is
+dnl passed in as a char *, instead of the expected char[]
+dnl
+dnl Instead of replacing all occurrences of strsep and strcmp, looking like:
+dnl xxx_name = strsep(&rest, ",");
+dnl
+dnl with:
+dnl char delimiters[] = ",";
+dnl xxx_name = strsep(&rest, delimiters);
+dnl
+dnl to get around this warning, without having to suppress the warning completely.
+dnl This macro detects the warning and force these 'optimizations' to be
+dnl switched off (Clang already has a set of builtin optimizers which should result
+dnl in good performance for these type of functions).
+dnl
+dnl When the issue is detected it will add a define to autoconfig.h which will prevent
+dnl bits/string2.h from replacing the standard implementation of strsep/strcmp with it's
+dnl macro optimized version. bits/string.h checks these defines before inserting it's
+dnl replacements.
+dnl
+dnl When bits/string2.h get's fixed in the future, this macro should be able to
+dnl detect the new behaviour, and when no warning is generated, it will use the optimize
+dnl version from bits/string2.h
+dnl
+dnl
+dnl See 'define __strcmp_gc(s1, s2, l2) in bits/string2.h'
+dnl
+dnl llvm-comment: Normally, this array-bounds warning are suppressed for macros, so that
+dnl unused paths like the one that accesses __s1[3] are not warned about.  But if you
+dnl preprocess manually, and feed the result to another instance of clang, it will warn
+dnl about all the possible forks of this particular if statement.
+dnl
+dnl Instead of switching of this optimization, another solution would be to run the pre-
+dnl processing step with -frewrite-includes, which should preserve enough information
+dnl so that clang should still be able to suppress the diagnostic at the compile step
+dnl later on.
