It might make sense to split this patch: do the move and refactoring, then add clang support.
Sure.
Though, won't this confuse some tests? A lot of cc-version tests are expecting only gcc, yes?
There's already a chance of this happening with cc-version. Currently, gcc-version.sh returns 0402 for clang 5.0, which probably doesn't have the same issues as gcc 4.2 did. While I didn't see anything new that would break on platforms that clang can currently compile, you're correct, we should probably have a macro that also checks for the compiler, or have separate macros for different compilers. I'll address these in v3. Sami
