 # Check C compiler

+#   -Wno-nullability-completeness: on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 and Xcode 12.4,
+#    hundreds of 'nullability-completeness' warnings are printed which can
+#    be very annoying and even hide important errors or warnings. It is
+#    also harmless for our test here, so it is generally added.
