Hi Eduard,

Actually, there is no specific reason to test with an older version of Clang.
It's just that the Clang downloaded from the source is this version,
and installing a newer version by myself would be rather troublesome.

clang version 17.0.6
GNU Make 4.4.1
gcc (GCC) 12.3.1
linux version: 6.6
arch: x86-64
