As i know it is a feature only in GCC, can it work with Clang compiler?

By the way it is perfect for through a warning for a deprecated struct, function 
etc ... only in GCC, but it is not ideal to use a simple header file include and 
the syntax of it is horryble. Usage of a generic #pragma message is more 
feasible in all compilers.
