+// As of clang-12, clang still doesn't support std::source_location, which
+// means that clang-tidy also doesn't support std::source_location.
+// Inside the libstdc++ implementation of <source_location> is this check of
+// __builtin_source_location to determine if the compiler supports the
+// necessary bits for std::source_location, and if not the header ends up doing
+// nothing.  Use this same builtin-check to detect when we're running under
+// an "older" clang and fallback to std::experimental::source_location instead.
