The generic atomicops implementation is only exposed if GCC >= 4.7 is available, but Clang, where the underlying __atomic built-ins are also available, typically only claims to be GCC 4.2. This causes build failures when compiling protobuf or the output of protoc's C++ code generator on an architecture that needs the generic atomicops implementation with Clang. Clang has a "c_atomic" extension which can be tested for which almost does what we want: C11 atomic operations Use __has_feature(c_atomic) or __has_extension(c_atomic) to determine if support for atomic types using _Atomic is enabled. Clang also provides a set of builtins which can be used to implement the <stdatomic.h> operations on _Atomic types. I'm not sure if this guarantees that the GNU atomic builtins (the ones with the __atomic prefix) are also available, but in practice this should guarantee that Clang is new enough. With this change in place, Clang generates several diagnostics when compiling the generic atomicops implementation. These appear to be bugs in the generic atomicops implementation and are not Clang-specific.
