7  * map to compiler attribute(s), unless one of the compilers does not support
8  * the attribute. In that case, __has_attribute is used to check for support
9  * and the reason is stated in its comment ("Optional: ...").
10  *
11  * Any other "attributes" (i.e. those that depend on a configuration option,
12  * on a compiler, on an architecture, on plugins, on other attributes...)
13  * should be defined elsewhere (e.g. compiler_types.h or compiler-*.h).
14  * The intention is to keep this file as simple as possible, as well as
15  * compiler- and version-agnostic (e.g. avoiding GCC_VERSION checks).
16  *
17  * This file is meant to be sorted (by actual attribute name,
18  * not by #define identifier). Use the __attribute__((__name__)) syntax
19  * (i.e. with underscores) to avoid future collisions with other macros.
20  * Provide links to the documentation of each supported compiler, if it exists.

27  *
28  * sparse does not support __has_attribute (yet) and defines __GNUC_MINOR__
29  * depending on the compiler used to build it; however, these attributes have
30  * no semantic effects for sparse, so it does not matter. Also note that,
