It doesn't seem LLVM_VERSION_MAJOR is defined yet at this point, so I
don't think that would work. (I just checked; 15 has the same issue.)
In any case, I think it would be just more clutter for dubious gain.

I don't understand. If “!file”, then file == NULL and surely accessing
*file would mean a crash?
