While branching on a compiler is rather common, checking a particular
compiler version should be needed only rarely. Thus minimize use of such
macros to make them easier to grep for.
Was browsing the extension registry looking for something else and found
this instead. It used to be ES catching up with desktop, now it's the
other way around.
Bloaty says it saved 10 kB in Debug build of MagnumGL:
VM SIZE FILE SIZE
-------------- --------------
[ = ] 0 .debug_info +1.59Ki +0.0%
+0.4% +1.50Ki .text +1.50Ki +0.4%
[ = ] 0 .debug_str +409 +0.0%
[ = ] 0 .debug_line +276 +0.1%
[ = ] 0 .debug_abbrev +20 +0.0%
-28.6% -2 [LOAD [RX]] -2 -28.6%
[ = ] 0 [Unmapped] -4.28Ki -41.0%
-22.7% -9.23Ki .rodata -9.23Ki -22.7%
-0.8% -7.73Ki TOTAL -9.73Ki -0.1%
And 4 kB in Release:
VM SIZE FILE SIZE
-------------- --------------
+1.1% +3.44Ki .text +3.44Ki +1.1%
+1.7% +1.39Ki .eh_frame +1.39Ki +1.7%
[ = ] 0 [Unmapped] +656 +51%
-25.5% -9.47Ki .rodata -9.47Ki -25.5%
-0.7% -4.64Ki TOTAL -4.00Ki -0.4%
That's not negative, so I guess that's good. This change is of course
more significant in the context of a minimal WebGL build, where the exe
can be as little as 50 kB -- there 4 kB is almost 10% of the size.
