6 * The attributes in this file are unconditionally defined and they directly
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.
21 */

23/*
24 * __has_attribute is supported on gcc >= 5, clang >= 2.9 and icc >= 17.
Olivier Deprez157378f2022-04-04 15:47:50 +020025 * In the meantime, to support gcc < 5, we implement __has_attribute
David Brazdil0f672f62019-12-10 10:32:29 +000026 * by hand.
