I took a closer look at it and looks like it can be applied.
So trying to compile this:
```
typedef int __attribute__((inrange(0, 100))) percentage_t;
int main() {
int percentage __attribute__((inrange(0, 100))) = -1;
percentage_t per __attribute__((inrange(0, 100))) = -1;
}
```
Would print out something like this:
foo.c: In function 'main':
foo.c:3:59: warning: inrange variable 'percentage' requires integer in rage of
0..100 [-Winrange]
3 | int percentage __attribute__((inrange(0, 100))) = -1;
| ^
foo.c:4:61: warning: inrange variable 'per' requires integer in rage of 0..100
[-Winrange]
4 | percentage_t per __attribute__((inrange(0, 100))) = -1;
|
