Ahead of next week's LLVM 6.0 feature freeze / code branching, the Clang C/C++ compiler front-end has picked up support for the concept of configuration files...

Typo:

files is maninly for cross-compiler arguments

nice
i think it could also be used for creating a configuration file and calling it for every program you compile for example in an ide
that way if you want to globaly change something you just edit the file

in an ide you could just globally change ide setting

Wasn't something like that already supported by @file syntax? The only thing that seems different is syntax and the optiopn grouping.

This is a funny thing, in the old Unix world, there is concept of "Unix as the IDE".

So if you put your compiler config on the system configuration files' path, then the system as a whole is your actual IDE.

Otherwise if you are using a stand alone IDE, what you need to do is configuring the IDE in it's menu, not putting a file in your system path.

...or configure it directly in its .emacs file.

...or configure it directly in its .emacs file.

That qualifies as "configuring the IDE". Emacs is also an IDE, among other things.
