/* 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-Variable-Attributes.html
