Bug 1120995

Created attachment 918972 [details]
Upstream fix http://reviews.llvm.org/rL201729

Description of problem:

After gcc was updated to 4.9, clang is no longer able to compile cstddef. For example, this simple program:

--------------------------------
#include <boost/format.hpp>

int main(int argc, char **argv[]) {
    auto s = boost::format("");
    return 0;
}
--------------------------------

compiled with "clang++ -std=c++11 test.cpp" results in the following error:

--------------------------------

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gcc-4.9.0-15.fc21.x86_64
clang-3.4-11.fc21.x86_64


Additional info:

This has already been fixed upstream at http://reviews.llvm.org/rL201729 and it applies cleanly to the clang-3.4 sources. I've attached a copy of the upstream diff to this bug report.
