--- Comment #2 from David Sveningsson <ext at sidvind dot com> 2011-08-04 13:33:21 UTC --- Might be valid, but confusing. If whitespace were required after "))" it would make more sense as it is clear that a global is created. As the documentation states that __attribute__ is the keyword, I think a warning would be appropriate even if it is retained for compatibility.
