+Clang Frontend Potentially Breaking Changes
+-------------------------------------------
+- Target OS macros extension
+  A new Clang extension (see :ref:`here <target_os_detail>`) is enabled for
+  Darwin (Apple platform) targets. Clang now defines ``TARGET_OS_*`` macros for
+  these targets, which could break existing code bases with improper checks for
+  the ``TARGET_OS_`` macros. For example, existing checks might fail to include
+  the ``TargetConditionals.h`` header from Apple SDKs and therefore leaving the
+  macros undefined and guarded code unexercised.
+
+  Affected code should be checked to see if it's still intended for the specific
+  target and fixed accordingly.
+
+  The extension can be turned off by the option ``-fno-define-target-os-macros``
+  as a workaround.
