Interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocks_(C_language_extension)

  Blocks are a non-standard extension added by Apple Inc. to Clang's
  implementations of the C, C++, and Objective-C programming languages

they compile with standard gcc would be a high priority for Emacs.
It's surpising this has not come up before.
