| 50 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 51 | The macro invocation | |
| 52 | .BI GCC_VERSION_P( maj ", " min ) | |
| 53 | expands to a compile-time constant nonzero value if the present compiler | |
| 54 | is GCC version | |
| 55 | .IR maj . min | |
| 56 | or better, or claims compatibility with it. | |
| 57 | This is frequently imperfect, as many compilers claim compatibility | |
| 58 | without implementing all of the necessary features, but it works | |
| 59 | adequately if one takes care. | |
| 60 | .PP | |
| 61 | The macro invocation | |
| 62 | .BI CLANG_VERSION_P( maj ", " min ) | |
| 63 | expands to a compile-time constant nonzero value if the present compiler | |
| 64 | is Clang version | |
| 65 | .IR maj . min | |
| 66 | or better (or claims compatibility with it, but this is less likely | |
| 67 | than for GCC. | |
