| The GNU compiler provides these extensions to the C++ language (and you |
| can also use most of the C language extensions in your C++ programs). If you |
| want to write code that checks whether these features are available, you can |
| test for the GNU compiler the same way as for C programs: check for a |
| predefined macro <code>__GNUC__</code>. You can also use <code>__GNUG__</code> to |
| test specifically for GNU C++ (see <a href="../cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html#Common-Predefined-Macros">Predefined Macros</a>). |
