6 * The attributes in this file are unconditionally defined and they directly
7 * map to compiler attribute(s) -- except those that are optional.
8 *
9 * Any other "attributes" (i.e. those that depend on a configuration option,
10 * on a compiler, on an architecture, on plugins, on other attributes...)
11 * should be defined elsewhere (e.g. compiler_types.h or compiler-*.h).
12 *
13 * This file is meant to be sorted (by actual attribute name,
14 * not by #define identifier). Use the __attribute__((__name__)) syntax
15 * (i.e. with underscores) to avoid future collisions with other macros.
16 * If an attribute is optional, state the reason in the comment.

19/*
20 * To check for optional attributes, we use __has_attribute, which is supported
21 * on gcc >= 5, clang >= 2.9 and icc >= 17. In the meantime, to support
22 * 4.6 <= gcc < 5, we implement __has_attribute by hand.
23 *
24 * sparse does not support __has_attribute (yet) and defines __GNUC_MINOR__
25 * depending on the compiler used to build it; however, these attributes have
26 * no semantic effects for sparse, so it does not matter. Also note that,
27 * in order to avoid sparse's warnings, even the unsupported ones must be
28 * defined to 0.
