[PATCHv3 1/6] [RFC] compiler{,-gcc4}.h: Remove duplicate macro &cleanup

From: Daniel Santos
Date: Thu Jun 07 2012 - 05:14:25 EST


__linktime_error() does the same thing as __compiletime_error() and is
only used in bug.h. Since the macro defines a function attribute that
will cause a failure at compile-time (not link-time), it makes more
sense to keep __compiletime_error(), which is also neatly mated with
__compiletime_warning().

However, gcc version check for __compiletime_error() prevented its use
one minor version after it was availble (4.4 instead of 4.3). So to fix
this and clean things up a bit, I've moved it in with other macros
defined for 4.3 and later.

Finally, I moved __compiletime_object_size() towards the top of the file
so that all macros are defined in order of the gcc version they appear
in.
