+.Dt __BUILTIN_TYPES_COMPATIBLE_P 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm __builtin_types_compatible_p
+.Nd GNU extension to check equivalent types
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Ft int
+.Fn __builtin_types_compatible_p "type_a" "type_b"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn __builtin_types_compatible_p
+is a
+.Tn GNU
+extension for determining whether two types are equivalent.
+If
+.Fa type_a
+is equivalent to
+.Fa type_b ,
+a value 1 is returned.
+Otherwise
+.Fn __builtin_types_compatible_p
+returns 0.
+.Pp
+The following remarks should be taken into account.
+.Bl -enum -offset indent
+.It
+The architecture-specific size of the two types
+does not have an impact on the result.
+For example,
+.Fn sizeof "char *"
+and
+.Fn sizeof "int"
+result the same value on i386, but the types naturally are not equivalent.
+.It
+Type qualifiers are ignored.
+The function returns the same value for
+.Vt long
+and
+.Vt const long .
+.It
+The amount of pointer indirection affects the result.
+For example,
+.Vt double *
+is not equivalent to
+.Vt double ** .
+.It
+Two types defined with
+.Em typedef
+are equivalent if and only if their underlying types are equivalent.
+.It
+The
+.Em enum
+type is a special case in that two
+.Em enum
+types are not considered equivalent.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following example combines
+.Fn __builtin_types_compatible_p
+and the
+.Xr typeof 3
+construct:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define __COMPARE_TYPES(v, t)      \\
+         __builtin_types_compatible_p(__typeof__(v), t)
+
+\&...
+
+if (__COMPARE_TYPES(p, double) != 0)
+       err(EX_DATAERR, "invalid type");
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr gcc 1 ,
+.Xr __builtin_constant_p 3 ,
+.Xr typeof 3
+.Sh CAVEATS
+This is a non-standard, compiler-specific extension.
