Sorry for the late reply, but I think this needs a bit more details/explanation.
1) I’ve quickly tested on macOS which uses clang and it has no issues, so this can’t be a problem with clang in general I think?
2) MPlayer is not C++11, in fact it is not C++ at all, so this messages does not really make sense. Sure it’s not a bug in clang, or maybe you used clang++ instead of clang as compiler?

Now the change is not a big deal, it’s just that I am not a big fan of working around issues that are not properly understood, also because if it’s a real issue the commit message should make it clear how we can avoid re-introducing such issues in the future.

Best regards,
Reimar
