<h1> The <tt>skalibs/gccattributes.h</tt> header </h1>

<p>
 <tt>skalibs/gccattributes.h</tt> is a set of wrappers around
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html">gcc
attributes</a> (duh). It defines macros that are always valid, and
that have no effect if the compiler is not gcc or the used version
of gcc does not support the wanted attribute.
</p>

<p>
 For instance:
</p>

<pre>
 extern unsigned int str_len (char const *) gccattr_pure ;
</pre>

<p>
 defines the <tt>str_len</tt> function as <em>pure</em> if it is
supported.
</p>

<p>
 The source code is self-explanatory.
