BTW, gcc plugins are always compiled with g++.

Why do we need to compile the following in the first place?

class test {
public:
        int test;
} test = {
        .test = 1
};


I think any C++ compiler will succeed
in compiling such simple code.



So,

test -e "$gccplugins_dir/include/plugin-version.h"

looks enough to me.



What is the intention of this compile test?
