Subject[PATCH 3.8 18/81] compiler-gcc.h: Add gcc-recommended GCC_VERSION macro
Date
3.8.13.12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Santos <daniel.santos@pobox.com>

commit 3f3f8d2f48acfd8ed3b8e6b7377935da57b27b16 upstream.

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.
