Subject: [PATCH] compiler_types: Identify compiler versions for __builtin_dynamic_object_size
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 10:20:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250416172016.work.154-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
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.
