Bug ID: 68524
Summary: Please support attributes between function definition
and opening brace
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: josh at joshtriplett dot org
Target Milestone: ---
GCC supports placing attributes after the closing parenthesis of a function
declaration and before the semicolon. However, GCC produces an error on
attributes between the closing parenthesis of a function definition and the
opening brace; for instance:
void f(void) __attribute__((const))
{
}
test.c:1:1: error: attributes should be specified before the declarator in a
function definition
void f(void) __attribute__((const))
^
Sparse's C parser supports this. Could GCC support this syntax as well?
