#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE(ATTRIBUTE)
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This macro checks if the compiler supports one of GCC's function
#   attributes; many other compilers also provide function attributes with
#   the same syntax. Compiler warnings are used to detect supported
#   attributes as unsupported ones are ignored by default so quieting
#   warnings when using this macro will yield false positives.
#
#   The ATTRIBUTE parameter holds the name of the attribute to be checked.
#
#   If ATTRIBUTE is supported define HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_<ATTRIBUTE>.
#
#   The macro caches its result in the ax_cv_have_func_attribute_<attribute>
#   variable.
#
#   The macro currently supports the following function attributes:
#
#    alias
#    aligned
#    alloc_size
#    always_inline
#    artificial
#    cold
#    const
#    constructor
#    constructor_priority for constructor attribute with priority
#    deprecated
#    destructor
#    dllexport
#    dllimport
#    error
#    externally_visible
#    flatten
#    format
#    format_arg
#    gnu_inline
#    hot
#    ifunc
#    leaf
#    malloc
#    noclone
#    noinline
#    nonnull
#    noreturn
#    nothrow
#    optimize
#    pure
#    unused
#    used
#    visibility
#    warning
#    warn_unused_result
#    weak
#    weakref
#
#   Unsuppored function attributes will be tested with a prototype returning
#   an int and not accepting any arguments and the result of the check might
#   be wrong or meaningless so use with care.
