# As detailed in [1] the combination of macOS 10.15.x (Catalina) and
# Xcode 11.0-1 enables by default a broken version of -fstack-check which
# can break the alignment requirements for SIMD instructions resulting in
# segfaults from within Eigen. This issue was apparently fixed in Xcode 11.2
# despite not appearing in the official release notes.
#
# Although this can be worked around by compiling with -fno-stack-check, we
# instead prevent generation as the update to Xcode 11.2 is free and failing
# to include -fno-stack-check *everywhere* could still result in random
# segfaults.
