I don't get what GCC manual is talking about. * * - A: In short it is an attribute to manipulate GDB backtraces. The * attribute makes the best sense when it comes with * __attribute__((always_inline)). When a function annotated with this * attribute gets inlined, and when you somehow look at a backtrace which * includes such inlined call site, then the backtrace shows the caller * and not the callee. This is handy for instance when an identical * function is inlined more than once in a single big function. On such * case it gets vital to know where the inlining happened in the callee. * See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/21936099 */ #include "ruby/internal/has/attribute.h" /** Wraps (or simulates) `__attribute__((artificial))` */ #if RBIMPL_HAS_ATTRIBUTE(artificial) # define RBIMPL_ATTR_ARTIFICIAL() __attribute__((__artificial__)) #else # define RBIMPL_ATTR_ARTIFICIAL() /* void */ #endif #endif /* RBIMPL_ATTR_ARTIFICIAL_H */
