Toolchain version

[CTabo.1]

Hello,
is it ok to use the __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__ and __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ marcros, to check the toolchain version, at compile time?

I am using the following toolchain version:

In this case and the macros have the following values:
__GNUC__ = 10
__GNUC_MINOR__ = 3
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ = 1

I have noticed that the first two values are the same of the toolchain (10.3).

Thank you,

Carlo

Yes, you can use those macros however you want in your program. They are often used to output the compiler settings used to generate the program.
