2.109 Pragma Machine_Attribute

Syntax:

pragma Machine_Attribute (
     [Entity         =>] LOCAL_NAME,
     [Attribute_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION
  [, [Info           =>] static_EXPRESSION {, static_EXPRESSION}] );

Machine-dependent attributes can be specified for types and/or declarations. This pragma is semantically equivalent to __attribute__((`attribute_name')) (if info is not specified) or __attribute__((`attribute_name(info'))) or __attribute__((`attribute_name(info,...'))) in GNU C, where `attribute_name' is recognized by the compiler middle-end or the TARGET_ATTRIBUTE_TABLE machine specific macro. Note that a string literal for the optional parameter info or the following ones is transformed by default into an identifier, which may make this pragma unusable for some attributes.
