#7841: A macro to detect real GCC

 Reporter:  andysem           |       Owner:  johnmaddock
     Type:  Feature Requests  |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  config     
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Please provide a macro to detect the real GCC. Different compilers try to
 emulate GCC by defining __GNUC__ and similar macros, which makes it
 difficult to work around GCC-specific bugs. The macro can expand to the
 GCC version number, like BOOST_MSVC:

 {{{
 #define BOOST_GCC (__GNUC__ * 10000 + __GNUC_MINOR__ * 100 +
 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__)
 }}}

 This macro only has to be defined in compiler/gcc.hpp.
