Thinking *way* ahead, I wonder if Configure.pl should even bother scanning for __attribute__ at all. Perhaps it should just be hardcoded somewhere in <parrot/*.h>. In perl5, we're moving in that direction. Here's the relevant excerpt from perl.h: /* In case Configure was not used (we are using a "canned config" * such as Win32, or a cross-compilation setup, for example) try going * by the gcc major and minor versions. One useful URL is * http://www.ohse.de/uwe/articles/gcc-attributes.html, * but contrary to this information warn_unused_result seems * not to be in gcc 3.3.5, at least. --jhi * Also, when building extensions with an installed perl, this allows * the user to upgrade gcc and get the right attributes, rather than * relying on the list generated at Configure time. --AD * Set these up now otherwise we get confused when some of the <*thread.h> * includes below indirectly pull in <perlio.h> (which needs to know if we * have HASATTRIBUTE_FORMAT). */ #if defined __GNUC__ && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) # if __GNUC__ >= 3 /* 3.0 -> */ /* XXX Verify this version */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_FORMAT # if defined __MINGW32__ # define PRINTF_FORMAT_NULL_OK # endif # endif # if __GNUC__ >= 3 /* 3.0 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_MALLOC # endif # if __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3 || __GNUC__ > 3 /* 3.3 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_NONNULL # endif # if __GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 5 || __GNUC__ > 2 /* 2.5 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_NORETURN # endif # if __GNUC__ >= 3 /* gcc 3.0 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_PURE # endif # if __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 4 || __GNUC__ > 3 /* 3.4 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_UNUSED # endif # if __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 3 && !defined(__cplusplus) # define HASATTRIBUTE_UNUSED /* gcc-3.3, but not g++-3.3. */ # endif # if __GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 4 || __GNUC__ > 3 /* 3.4 -> */ # define HASATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT # endif #endif -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
