| |
Hi all,
This is a quick cover letter for the series, explaining the differences between v1-v2.
Added "features" of the patch series:
* Added direct URL links for all attributes to gcc & clang docs.
* Added proper support for gcc 4.8 and 4.9 (i.e. for assume_aligned and no_sanitize_address).
* Added the reason for each optional attribute to be so, for future reference.
* Removed some __CHECKER__ tests
* Removed __deprecated_for_modules
* Removed noinline and noclone inside notrace since we are now post gcc 4.6
Modified v1 -> v2:
* Moved quite a few things out of the patch into 1-6, so that the 7th is easier to read.
* Sorted them all (whether they are optional or not) by attribute name (this actually puts some similar ones in the same group, e.g. format and unused and I think it may be the best of both worlds).
* Moved __must_be_array out of compiler_types.h to compiler.h (since it is not really used as a attribute).
I might be forgetting something. Also, note that I have not compile-tested as much as last time, so please consider it untested for the moment. Take a look!
Cheers, Miguel
