Re: Why did you make streambufs noncopyable?

If you're not going to correct it, how should I block the code off (with the preprocessor)?

????

In the group I'm working with, we block off code that has quirks with certain compilers with preprocessor macros. In this case, I want to block off code that contains stream-buffer copying away from GCC. I heard that you define macros "__GNUC__" and "__GNUC_MINOR__" so programs will know when they're being compiled under GCC. In this case I would put something like:


#if defined(__GNUC__) && (( __GNUC__ > 3 ) || ( (__GNUC__ == 3) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= XXX) ))
// my code that you don't like
#endif


Here, I would need to know when you introduced this change. Specifically, I need the value of the "XXX" I had in this example. Of course, if this preprocessor check is totally wrong, please correct.
