llvm/clang once more

[Alex Hornung]

Matt, sorry for sending this twice to your mail; I forgot to add the
mailing list as CC the first time.

clang uses __clang__ as preprocessor "identifier". Be sure not to
conditionalize the other branch on __GNUC__ or similar, as clang also
defines it.

Sincerely,
Alex


PS: For the curious (from lib/Lex/Preprocessor.cpp):

  // Compiler version introspection macros.
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__llvm__=1");   // LLVM Backend
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__clang__=1");  // Clang Frontend

  // Currently claim to be compatible with GCC 4.2.1-5621.
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__APPLE_CC__=5621");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC_MINOR__=2");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__=1");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC__=4");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GXX_ABI_VERSION=1002");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__VERSION__=\"4.2.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. "
                     "build 5621) (dot 3)\"");
