Currently, the unknown attribute warning means that we get a warning for typos
in a whitelisted set of attributes: the standardized attributes and the
gnu::attributes. If this set of whitelisted attributes could be extended, that
would be the ideal solution, IMO, since the user would also get typo detection
for their additional attributes.
Something like -Wignore-unknown-attribute=likely
-Wignore-unknown-attribute=some_ns::some_attribute .
----
Jonathan Wakely's suggestion is a decent solution to this problem. However, it
won't detect typos in user attributes, and it won't extend to future
standardized attributes.
Another idea is to warn if the edit-distance from the unknown attribute to a
known attribute is small. So [[noretrun]] has a small edit distance and could
emit a warning with, "Did you mean [[noreturn]]?" And
[[some_future_std_attribute]] would emit no warning because it has a large edit
distance from all known attributes.
