__builtin_choose_expr and __builtin_types_compatible_p

Clang Frontend

These builtins are mentioned in the docs and seem to be honored (I'm compiling in C with --std=c99) but `__has_builtin(__builtin_choose_expr)` returns 0, and similarly for `__builtin_types_compatible_p`. Can someone on this list explain why?

Should I expect `__has_builtin` to have other false negatives too?

Does the issue have anything to do with these functions being declared as keywords in include/clang/Basic/TokenKinds.def?

I'm not subscribed to the list, so I'd welcome being cc'd on any replies. Thanks.

Status quo: __has_builtin tests for the existence of a builtin function.
__builtin_choose_expr and __builtin_types_compatible_p aren't functions, so
__has_builtin can't be used to test for them.

Last time this was brought up, I seem to recall that there was largely
consensus that we should also report the existence of non-function builtins
through __has_builtin, but I don't think anyone actually put together a
patch to implement that. Are you interested in doing so?
