            Bug ID: 88472
           Summary: attribute documentation poorly structured, lots of
                    duplication
           Product: gcc
           Version: 9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

As discussed in the thread below, the function/type/variable attribute
documentation in the manual isn't structured very well and contains quite a bit
of duplication.  This makes it both harder to read and understand, and also
tedious to maintain and easy to get out of sync.
