Starting with Clang-7.0, _THIS_IP_ generates -Wreturn-stack-address warnings for almost every translation unit. In general, I'd prefer to leave this on (returning the address of a stack allocated variable is in general a bad idea) and disable it only at whitelisted call sites.
We can't do something like: #pragma clang diagnostic push #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wreturn-stack-address" <code> #pragma clang diagnostic pop
in a GNU Statement Expression or macro, hence we use _Pragma, which is its raison d'être: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Pragmas.html
