Compiler-specific Features
Note
This function attribute is a GNU compiler extension that is supported by the ARM
compiler. It has the __declspec equivalent __declspec(noinline).
Example
int fn(void) __attribute__((noinline));
int fn(void)
{
return 42;
}
See also
• #pragma inline, #pragma no_inline on page 4-66
• __attribute__((noinline)) constant variable attribute on page 4-51
• __declspec(noinline) on page 4-27.
4.3.7 __attribute__((no_instrument_function))
This function attribute excludes the function from the instrumentation that is achieved
with --gnu_instrument.
See also
• --gnu_instrument, --no_gnu_instrument on page 2-68.
4.3.8 __attribute__((nomerge))
This function attribute prevents calls to the function that are distinct in the source from
being combined in the object code.
See also
• __attribute__((notailcall)) on page 4-37
• --retain=option on page 2-113.
4.3.9 __attribute__((nonnull))
This function attribute specifies function parameters that are not supposed to be null
pointers. This enables the compiler to generate a warning on encountering such a
parameter.
