I agree, with the new gcc roadmap announced back in August [1] they tend to increase the major number with each yearly release. I don't think it is feasable to add a new header every year in a timely manner. Most statements are already depending on GCC_VERSION, maybe we can just unify all gcc specific headers to one, still trying to keep the file organized? ;) [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html (Section "Version Numbering Scheme for GCC 5 and Up") Bye, Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
