Detect gcc as opposed to msvc / clang with macro

I am working on a project that has been built with both gcc and msvc so far. We recently started building with clang as well.

There are some parts in the code, where platform-specific things are done:

#ifndef _WIN32
// ignore this in msvc
#endif

Since gcc has previously been the only non-windows build, this was equivalent to saying "do this only for gcc". But now it means "do this only for gcc and clang".

However there are still situations, where I would like to handle something specifically for gcc, and not for clang. Is there a simple and robust way to detect gcc, i.e.

#ifdef ???
// do this *only* for gcc
#endif

__GNUC__
__GNUC_MINOR__
__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__

These macros are defined by all GNU compilers that use the C preprocessor: C, C++, Objective-C and Fortran. Their values are the major version, minor version, and patch level of the compiler, as integer constants. For example, GCC 3.2.1 will define __GNUC__ to 3, __GNUC_MINOR__ to 2, and __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ to 1. These macros are also defined if you invoke the preprocessor directly.

Also:

__GNUG__

The GNU C++ compiler defines this. Testing it is equivalent to testing (__GNUC__ && __cplusplus).

Apparently, clang uses them too. However it also defines:

__clang__
__clang_major__
__clang_minor__
__clang_patchlevel__

So you can do:

#ifdef __GNUC__
    #ifndef __clang__
...

Or even better (note the order):

#if defined(__clang__)
....
#elif defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__GNUG__)
....
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
....

With Boost, this becomes very simple:

#include <boost/predef.h>

#if BOOST_COMP_GNUC
// do this *only* for gcc
#endif

See also the Using the predefs section of the boost documentation.
