Subjectmacro in linux/compiler.h pollutes gcc __attribute__ namespace
From

Recently I've found a problem with emacs where gcc optimizes a
function to be inline where it shouldn't be. The emacs developers use
a macro like this:

#define NO_INLINE __attribute__((noinline))

that would normally work fine but when we compile the file with
NO_INLINE, the -E output looks like:

static void __attribute__(())
x_error_quitter (display, error)
Display *display;
XErrorEvent *error;
{
char buf[256], buf1[356];

...etc


I've realized that this file includes linux/compiler.h which does:


139
140 #ifndef noinline
141 #define noinline
142 #endif
143

which causes __atribute__((noinline)) to change into
__attribute__(()). I'm not sure how linux developers keep a function
from getting inlined, but I'm hoping someone will consider removing or
changing this macro.
