Bug ID: 102397
Summary: Documentation of attribute syntax does not discuss
C++11 / C23 attribute syntax
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dangelog at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
The available documentation for attributes syntax
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Attribute-Syntax.html#Attribute-Syntax
does not mention at all the possibility that in C++11 (and, I imagine, in C23)
one can specify any GCC-specific attribute using a [[gnu::attribute]] attribute
specifier, and not only the GCC-specific __attribute__((attribute)) syntax.
I think it would be worth mentioning in there that this is actually OK and
fully supported.
