Function attributes, such as `noreturn' and `format', should be
allowed to be specified for function pointers as well as real
functions.
lyonesse$ cat t.c
extern void (*error)(int, const char *, ...)
__attribute__((noreturn))
__attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)));
$ gcc -c t.c
t.c:3: argument format specified for non-function `error'
