--- Comment #4 from sandra at gcc dot gnu.org ---
PR108796 seems to be more of a "GCC is broken because it doesn't do what I
want" issue, than specifically a documentation issue.

The two issues I'm thinking are most relevant to a rewrite are PR88472 and
PR42270.  E.g., consolidating all the attribute documentation into a single
subsection with subsections documenting where attributes can go in both the
standard and GNU syntax, and a single subsection listing *all* the attributes
and just marking them as function, variable, type, and/or statement attributes,
and updating the examples to emphasize the standard syntax.  These can still be
treated as independent issues and fixed separately, but I'm trying to get a
handle on what end result we're striving for and what order to tackle the
changes.

(Of course we have many "this attribute isn't documented" issues, and "this
attribute doesn't actually work the way the documentation implies", too -- I'm
ignoring those in the context of restructuring the documentation.)
