-# SYNOPSIS
-#
-#   AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE(ATTRIBUTE)
-#
-# DESCRIPTION
-#
-#   This macro checks if the compiler supports one of GCC's function
-#   attributes; many other compilers also provide function attributes with
-#   the same syntax. Compiler warnings are used to detect supported
-#   attributes as unsupported ones are ignored by default so quieting
-#   warnings when using this macro will yield false positives.
-#
-#   The ATTRIBUTE parameter holds the name of the attribute to be checked.
-#
-#   If ATTRIBUTE is supported define HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_<ATTRIBUTE>.
-#
-#   The macro caches its result in the ax_cv_have_func_attribute_<attribute>
-#   variable.
-#
-#   The macro currently supports the following function attributes:
-#
-#    alias
-#    aligned
-#    alloc_size
-#    always_inline
-#    artificial
-#    cold
-#    const
-#    constructor
-#    constructor_priority for constructor attribute with priority
-#    deprecated
-#    destructor
-#    dllexport
-#    dllimport
-#    error
-#    externally_visible
-#    flatten
-#    format
-#    format_arg
-#    gnu_inline
-#    hot
-#    ifunc
-#    leaf
-#    malloc
-#    noclone
-#    noinline
-#    nonnull
-#    noreturn
-#    nothrow
-#    optimize
-#    pure
-#    unused
-#    used
-#    visibility
-#    warning
-#    warn_unused_result
-#    weak
-#    weakref
-#
-#   Unsuppored function attributes will be tested with a prototype returning
-#   an int and not accepting any arguments and the result of the check might
-#   be wrong or meaningless so use with care.
