How to detect LLVM and its version through #define directives?

Question

The question is quite clear I think. I\'m trying to write a compiler detection header to be able to include in the application information on which compiler was used and whi

Answer 1

Snippet from InitPreprocessor.cpp:

  // Compiler version introspection macros.
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__llvm__=1");   // LLVM Backend
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__clang__=1");  // Clang Frontend

  // Currently claim to be compatible with GCC 4.2.1-5621.
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC_MINOR__=2");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__=1");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GNUC__=4");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__GXX_ABI_VERSION=1002");
  DefineBuiltinMacro(Buf, "__VERSION__=\"4.2.1 Compatible Clang Compiler\"");

I didn't find any way to get the version of llvm and clang itself, though..

Answer 2

I cannot find an answer here, only links to answers, so for completeness, here is the answer:

__clang__             // set to 1 if compiler is clang
__clang_major__       // integer: major marketing version number of clang
__clang_minor__       // integer: minor marketing version number of clang
__clang_patchlevel__  // integer: marketing patch level of clang
__clang_version__     // string: full version number

I get currently:

__clang__=1
__clang_major__=3
__clang_minor__=2
__clang_patchlevel__=0
__clang_version__="3.2 (tags/RELEASE_32/final)"
