I noticed in the documentation that GCC-XML support the ability to add
meta-information in the C++ source that can be read by GCC-XML as follows…
|*__attribute((gccxml(<string>, <string>, ...)))*|: Here <string> is a
quoted string. There must be at least one argument to the 'gccxml'
attribute, but there is no upper limit to the total number of arguments.
Each argument is verified to be a string - if a non-string argument is
found, the attribute is ignored.
What I’d like to know is whether this will work for Microsoft C++ as
well or is this feature specific for GCC.
The __attribute syntax is specific to gcc, but that's okay. The syntax will
work in gccxml no matter what compiler you are simulating because gccxml
always parses using a patched gcc parser. You just have to use macros to
avoid using the attribute syntax when a compiler other than gccxml is in use:
#ifdef __GCCXML__
# define MY_GCCXML_ATTRIBUTES(x) __attribute(x)
#else
# define MY_GCCXML_ATTRIBUTES(x)
#endif
Then in the code use the macro to specify attributes. All compilers will
ignore them but gccxml will see them.
