If there is some resistance to putting GCC-specific stuff in the system, its news to me, because these attributes are used all over the place for stuff like exit, _exit, abort, etc. I see nothing wrong with using this GCC extension. -- -farooq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
