--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Confirmed.
Most interesting instances of -Wattributes are in conflict with what the manual
says and would better fit the description for -Wignored-attributes.
-Wattributes is meant for invalid attributes (either syntactically or
contextually) while -Wignored-attributes for syntactically valid ones that
conflict in some way either with another declaration of the same entity or with
another attribute or specifier on the same declaration.
It would be a pervasive change to adjust all the warnings to fit the documented
purpose but if there's support for it I'm willing to do it in GCC 9.
