--- Comment #5 from Timur Iskhodzhanov <timurrrr at google dot com> --- Jakub wrote: > all other attributes are allowed on both declarations and definitions Can you please point me at the documentation that says that attributes are allowed on definitions? The page I referenced above only mentions declarations. Also, I believe "all the existing/old attributes do X, so all the new ones should do X as well" isn't an optimal long-term strategy. It's just not flexible / generic enough.

This is indeed subjective. Still, I think my point #3 (re: implementation detail) should be true in most reasonable coding styles? > Modules for the win. True -- but they aren't used yet in most codebases AFAICT :)
