GNU attributes with C++11 syntax?

+2 votes
545 views

GCC gives a warning for this program:

int main()
{
    int x;
}

test.cpp: In function 'int main()':
test.cpp:3:9: warning: unused variable 'x' [-Wunused-variable]

If I add an "unused" attribute with the GNU syntax:

int x __attribute__((unused));

the warning goes away.

However, if I use the C++11 syntax:

int x [[unused]];

the warning remains, and I also get:

test.cpp:3:20: warning: 'unused' attribute directive ignored [-Wattributes]

Does anyone know about gcc plans to support the attributes with C++11 syntax.

Try [[gnu::unused]].

Thread-local destructor registration with C++11 on PowerPC

how can I configure GCC to emit the calls to __cxa_thread_atexit() for destructor registration? On a Linux PowerPC target I see the registration of destructors, but not on the powerpc-rtems target. I guess I missed a configuration option or define. Has someone a hint for me?

GCC Issue with unnammed nested struct in c 
struct xx
{
 int x;
 struct yy *p;
 struct
 {
 int s;
 };
 struct
 {
 int s;
 };    
};

int main()
{    
 struct xx xyz;
 printf("%d",sizeof(xyz));
 return 0;
}

the above code compile well without any warning. Here my question is
1. How can I distinguish two 's' variable.
2. What is use case.

GNU "cpp -P" portability

Is "cpp -P" POSIX? I poked around at

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/**********

and could find only matches to "preprocessor" rather than "cpp" in the search facility, and so surmise "no", but thought i'd ask here anyway. I suppose a portable workaround would be:

cpp FILENAME | sed '/^#/d'

but have fingers crossed nonetheless...
