C++ Frontend maintainers, Could you please take a look at the
front-end part when you find the time?
It seems to me that what you have here are target-specific attributes
that affect the signature of a function such that they make two
declarations different that would otherwise declare the same function.
Stepping away from the specific notion of versioning, it seems that
these are the questions that you want the front end to be able to ask
about these attributes:
* Does this attribute affect a function signature?
* Do the attributes on these two declarations make them different?
* Do the attributes on these two declarations make one a better match?
* Given a call to function X, should I call another function instead?
* Return a string representation of the attributes on this function that
affect its signature.
Does this seem like a worthwhile direction to other people, or do you
like better the approach the patch takes, handling versioning directly?
