2.102 Pragma Machine_Attribute

Syntax:

    pragma Machine_Attribute (
         [Entity         =>] LOCAL_NAME,
         [Attribute_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION
      [, [Info           =>] static_EXPRESSION] );

Machine-dependent attributes can be specified for types and/or declarations. This pragma is semantically equivalent to __attribute__((`attribute_name))` (if info is not specified) or __attribute__((`attribute_name`(`info))) in GNU C, where attribute_name is recognized by the compiler middle-end or the TARGET_ATTRIBUTE_TABLE machine specific macro. A string literal for the optional parameter info is transformed into an identifier, which may make this pragma unusable for some attributes. For further information see GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) Internals.
