Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Bugs: ASTERISK-20850
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20850


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

RAII_VAR: nested functions aren't portable. Adapting RAII_VAR to use clang/llvm blocks to get the same/similar functionality.
Making it possible again to use clang as a compiler, instead of depending on gcc completely.

Compile instructions:
================
./bootstrap.sh
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure --enable-dev-mode
Needed to set DISABLE_INLINE to get passed the double declaration error in api-inline.h, i guess someone needs to figure out how to get this passed clang, correctly
make menuselect.makeopts
menuselect/menuselect --enable DISABLE_INLINE
Needed to suppresse some of the warnings to get clang to compile (for now), clang can be a little panicky, but for a good reason.

    -Wno-unknown-warning-option. When gcc doesn't know a compiler option it returns NON-ZERO errorlevel, clang returns ZERO errorlevel, which is annoying. Even the linux kernel developers group complained about this. Will be fixed/changed (hopefully soon). For now, when checking clang compiler options, you would need to grep and parse the error output
    -Wno-error needed to quite down clang being panicky (Standard asterisk -Werror is a good idea in general, but not when compiling against a 'new' compiler )

ASTCFLAGS="-Wno-unknown-warning-option -Wno-error" make
make install
RAII_VAR seems to work, but i guess there is still a bit of work before clang support for the rest of asterisk can be announced.

Testing
-------

Just a proof of concept, to show how asterisk could be made clang compatible again.
