headers: Add check for C standard version
PATCH 1/1 headers: Add check for C standard version
Compiling the kernel with GCC 15 results in errors, as with GCC 15 the default language version for C compilation has been changed from -std=gnu17 to -std=gnu23 - unless the language version has been changed using
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -std=gnu17
or earlier.
C23 includes new keywords 'bool', 'true' and 'false', which cause compilation errors in Linux headers:
./include/linux/types.h:30:33: error: ‘bool’ cannot be defined
via ‘typedef’
./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: cannot use keyword ‘false’
as enumeration constant
Add check for C Standard's version in the header files to be able to compile the kernel with C23.
