Attribute

Anchor
AttributeArgument AttributeArgument

Attribute Argument

Node describing the arguments of an attribute. For example:

void f() __attribute__ ((interrupt("IRQ"))); // Attribute Argument "interrupt"

Attribute Group

Value is "\"IRQ\""

If the argument of an attribute is an expression that is evaluated to a constant, the value of the attribute is that constant converted to a stringNode describing an attribute group. For example:

If the argument of an attribute is a type name, the attribute value is the full name of that type. For example:

alignas(long long) int g; // Value is "long long"

Attribute Group

void fx1() { /* ... */; }
void fx2() _

void fx1() { /* ... */; }
void fx2() __attribute__((weak, alias("fx1")));// Both attributes have the same Attribute Group
