Hi All,

There are a couple of related patches that were submitted to distutils a few months ago that I think would be great to have in before the feature freeze in 3.6b1 A bug fix in CCompiler.hasfunction http://bugs.python.org/issue25544

Hi Sylvain,

This doesn't look like a new feature to me so it can be committed after feature freeze. However, the patch needs to be tested in Windows.

Adding a hasflag method to CCompiler http://bugs.python.org/issue26689

useful to check if a compiler has certain flags available (such as -std=c++11)

This needs a test case and documentation update to https://docs.python.org/3.5/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler NamedTemporaryFile might not work as expected in Windows (we have some open issues about NamedTemporaryFile, but I'm not a Windows user.)
