Subject: [PATCH 3/5] gcc: quiet Wattribute for no_sanitize("address")
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 17:55:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201019155537.15290-4-sebastian.huber@embedded-brains.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201019155537.15290-1-sebastian.huber@embedded-brains.de>

From: rlibby <rlibby@FreeBSD.org>

This is an unfortunate instance where the __has_attribute check does
not function usefully.  Gcc does have the attribute, but for gcc it only
applies to functions, not variables, and trying to apply it to a
variable generates Wattribute.  So far we only apply the attribute to
variables.  Only enable the attribute for clang, for now.
