[Bug c/18070] New: Contradicting function attributes

["markus at oberhumer dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

This is a call for opinions on contradicting function attributes like giving
both cdecl and stdcall or both always_inline and noinline.

Somewhat related to bug18069 (Contradicting type and variable attributes) I've
seen that contradicting inline attributes give varying results/warnings/errors,
depending on gcc verision, C vs. C++ and optimization flags. 

At the very least the documentation needs some clarification. Using conflicting
calling conventions (both cdecl and stdcall) is an error IMHO.

Furthermore I have not examined how changes in definitions vs. declarations are
handled (i.e. protypes, multiple conflicting prototypes, conflicting
implementation).
