From c6c5ca73f95820f39ca3f5e93ac3238bbaf7aeb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Santos Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:41:39 -0800 Subject: compiler-gcc.h: Add gcc-recommended GCC_VERSION macro Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made. These can be simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends. However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use this macro than the tradition method: #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ => 2) If you add patch level, it gets this ugly: #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 2 || \ __GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 1)) As opposed to: #if GCC_VERSION >= 40201 While having separate headers for gcc 3 & 4 eliminates some of this verbosity, they can still be cleaned up by this.
