As I said in https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2017-01/msg00109.html
the __GLIBCXX__ macro is useless, but is the closest thing we have to
a version macro for libstdc++. This matters when using libstdc++ with
Clang or Intel icc or other compilers, because you can't check the
__GNUC__ macro. I've seen several requests for a way to check the
libstdc++ version, or complaints that there is no way to do it.
This patch adds a new _GLIBCXX_RELEASE macro that contains the same
value as __GNUC__ i.e. the major release number.
- Yes, it only contains the major number. We could in theory have
_GLIBCXX_MAJOR and _GLIBCXX_MINOR instead, but between
_GLIBCXX_RELEASE and __GLIBCXX__ you can identify the release branch
and a date within that branch.
- The name is "RELEASE" because we used to define _GLIBCXX_VERSION
many years ago, but it was a string literal and this is an integer.
To avoid problems for any old code checking for _GLIBCXX_VERSION I
chose a different name.
Thoughts?
