/* Provide public ATTRIBUTE_* names for the private _GL_ATTRIBUTE_*
   macros used within Gnulib.  */

/* These attributes can be placed in two ways:
     - At the start of a declaration (i.e. even before storage-class
       specifiers!); then they apply to all entities that are declared
       by the declaration.
     - Immediately after the name of an entity being declared by the
       declaration; then they apply to that entity only.  */

/* This file defines two types of attributes:
   * C2x standard attributes.  These have macro names that do not begin with
     'ATTRIBUTE_'.
   * Selected GCC attributes; see:
     https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Function-Attributes.html
     https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html
     https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html
     These names begin with 'ATTRIBUTE_' to avoid name clashes.  */

   The STRING-INDEXth function argument is a format string of style

   following 'case' or 'default' label.  */
