[vlc-commits] Introduce VLC_GCC_VERSION macro, fix popcount and clz

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

vlc | branch: master | Rémi Denis-Courmont <remi at remlab.net> | Wed Aug 17 18:28:25 2011 +0300| [9fd4a6a6ba45023d54cd2573e0842170fdfc1d94] | committer: Rémi Denis-Courmont

Introduce VLC_GCC_VERSION macro, fix popcount and clz

This can be used as follows:

 #if VLC_GCC_VERSION(major,minor)
 ...
 #endif

There is nothing "VLC" about it. The prefix is only about namespacing.
