As I spoke to you about this at the Summit, the users of the AVR port, and I would also postulate the general embedded community, would *really* like to have this functionality, especially your Stage 1. There are many AVR, or embedded, applications where they are generally optimized for size, but have a time-critical function that needs to be optimized for speed. I would vote for including both the attribute syntax and the pragma syntax. I have many users who would be more comfortable with the pragma syntax, despite any shortcomings. Eric Weddington
