From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 17:20:20 +0000 (-0700) Subject: compiler_types: Identify compiler versions for __builtin_dynamic_object_size X-Git-Tag: v6.16-rc1~151^2~19 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a510c186abfc870e5c74cf953b646c8a2c07bee1;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git compiler_types: Identify compiler versions for __builtin_dynamic_object_size Clarify when __builtin_dynamic_object_size() is available. All our supported Clang versions support it. GCC 12 and later support it. Link to documentation for both.
