Subject: Add configure check for _Static_assert()
X-Git-Tag: v16~22
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc8ed09f8f21d17ef9481001683d7edfdb308983;p=thirdparty%2Fkmod.git

Add configure check for _Static_assert()

Commit 8efede20ef ("Use _Static_assert") introduced the usage of
_Static_assert(). However, _Static_assert() is a fairly new thing,
since it was introduced only in gcc 4.6. In order to support older
compilers, this patch adds a configure.in test that checks whether
_Static_assert() is usable or not, and adjust the behavior of the
assert_cc() macro accordingly.
