4.2.11 __has_extension

The special operator __has_extension (operand) may be used in constant integer contexts and in preprocessor #if and #elif expressions to test whether the identifier given in operand is recognized as an extension supported by GCC given the current options. In any given context, the features accepted by __has_extension are a strict superset of those accepted by __has_feature. Unlike __has_feature, __has_extension tests whether a given feature is available regardless of strict language standards conformance.

If the -pedantic-errors flag is given, __has_extension is equivalent to __has_feature.

Note that __has_feature and __has_extension are not recommended for use in new code, and are only provided for compatibility with Clang. For details of which identifiers are accepted by these function-like macros, see the Clang documentation.
