I think including whatever parsed data is relevant to this attribute in 
the structure returned by c_parser_attributes (which is currently a tree) 
would indeed be better.  (If you don't want to put it in a tree, you get 
to deal with converting attributes away from TREE_LISTs to a better 
structure, which is certainly desirable - as a separate self-contained 
patch - but probably a fair amount of work.  A very old (2004) attempt at 
changing how attributes are represented is on static-tree-branch, but I 
think it's old enough it would only give ideas rather than particularly 
useful patches.)

Note that in any case you should use is_attribute_p for a test for whether 
an identifier matches a particular attribute.
