In the documentation ("Declaring Attributes of Functions"), I find:
"The keyword `__attribute__' allows you to specify special attributes
when making a declaration." However if the attribute is repeated at the
definition of the function, I get an parse error (according to the
documentation):
int foo1(void) __attribute__((stdcall));
int foo1(void) __attribute__((stdcall))
{
return 1;
}
bug-43119-2.c:3: parse error before `{'
When using the now undocumented way of moving the attribute before the
function name, neither the parse error nor the type conflict occur:
int foo1(void) __attribute__((stdcall));
int __attribute__((stdcall)) foo1(void)
{
return 1;
}
