Michal Malecki <ethouris at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ethouris at gmail dot com --- Comment #2 from Michal Malecki <ethouris at gmail dot com> 2012-06-25 08:11:16 UTC --- If this feature is going to be used also for extended GNU attributes, it can be done via a special extension: [[gnu init_priority(200)]] [[gnu format(printf, 2, 3)]] would be same as: __attribute__ ((init_priority (200))) __attribute__ ((format(printf, 2, 3))) Some standard attributes can be also implemented as alias to existing gnu attributes, for example [[gnu noreturn]] would be the same as [[noreturn]]. Currently the only standard attributes are "noreturn" and "carries_dependency". They don't get any arguments, so I don't think the difference to current attribute syntax matters.
