3 Since the 3.0.3 release of gperf (made in May 2007), the generated func
4 has had the gnu_inline attribute applied to it. The gcc source however
5 has not been updated to include that which has lead to a mismatch.
7 In practice, this hasn't been an issue for two reasons:
8 (1) Before gcc-5, the default standard was (gnu) C89, and gcc does not
9 warn or throw an error in this mode.
10 (2) Starting with gcc-4.8, the compiler driver used to build gcc was
11 changed to C++, and g++ does not warn or throw an error in this mode.
13 This error does show up though when using gcc-5 to build gcc-4.7 or
14 older as then the default is (gnu) C11 and the C compiler driver is
15 used. That failure looks like:
16 In file included from .../gcc-4.7.4/gcc/cp/except.c:990:0:
17 cfns.gperf: At top level:
18 cfns.gperf:101:1: error: 'gnu_inline' attribute present on 'libc_name_p'
19 cfns.gperf:26:14: error: but not here
21 Whether the compiler should always emit this error regardless of the
22 active standard or compiler driver is debatable (I think it should be
23 consistent -- either always do it or never do it).

27 * cfns.gperf [__GNUC__, __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__]: Apply the
28 __gnu_inline__ attribute.
