Following this basic idea here
http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2012/10/c_c_tip_how_detect_compiler_name_and_version_using_compiler_predefined_macros
I'd like to add a build/base_compiler.m4 - that runs this program:
# include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
printf (
#if defined(__clang__)
"clang"
#elif defined (__GNUC__) || defined (__GNUG__)
"gcc"
#elif defined (__SUNPRO_C) || defined (__SUNPRO_CC)
"sunproc"
#elif defined (__ICC) || defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
"icc"
#endif
);
return 0;
}
To normalize our base_cc which we then can use as before:
igalic@tynix /tmp % gcc comp.cc
igalic@tynix /tmp % ./a.out
gcc%
igalic@tynix /tmp % clang comp.cc
igalic@tynix /tmp % ./a.out
clang%
igalic@tynix /tmp %
Objections?
