No, this should be in `compiler_attributes.h` like you had it before.
To be clear, what you did here would be fine, but it is the "old way"
(we added `compiler_attributes.h` to reduce the complexity of
`compiler-*` and `compiler_types.h` and make it a bit more
normalized).
Please take a moment and read how other attributes do it in
`compiler_attributes.h` with `__has_attribute`. Check, for instance,
`__copy`, which is very similar to your case (not supported by Clang
and ICC, except in your case GCC always supports at least since 5.1).
Cheers,
Miguel
