[Qemu-devel] [PULL 24/54] compiler.h: Add an explicit check for the comp

Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 24/54] compiler.h: Add an explicit check for the compiler version
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 16:22:45 +0100

From: Thomas Huth <address@hidden>

The questions about our minimum compiler requirement pops up every
couple of months, and we then have to recall the details each time.
So let's document this in a proper way, by adding a comment and
check for the right compiler version to our compiler.h header.
