https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/Function-Attributes.html#Function-Attributes I couldn't find it in earlier manuals, but grepping through gcc 3.0.4 source code shows that it would appear to be supported there too. ~Maarten -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
