+# 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.
