Subject: compat/posix.h: enable UNUSED warning messages for Clang
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=689dc92e501e25ae1ed67410ff51b4359a4f5c3c;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

compat/posix.h: enable UNUSED warning messages for Clang

Use a dedicated Clang version check for the UNUSED macro.

Commit 7c07f36ad2 (git-compat-util.h: GCC deprecated message arg only in
GCC 4.5+, 2022-10-05) restricted use of the deprecated attribute's
message argument in the UNUSED macro to GCC 4.5 or newer.

Clang identifies itself as GNUC 4.2.1 for compatibility, so
GIT_GNUC_PREREQ(4, 5) does not detect whether Clang supports the
deprecated("...") form. Add GIT_CLANG_PREREQ() macro and use it to
enable the UNUSED warning message for Clang 2.9 and newer.
