 * map to compiler attribute(s), unless one of the compilers does not support
 * the attribute. In that case, __has_attribute is used to check for support
 * and the reason is stated in its comment ("Optional: ...").
 *
 * Any other "attributes" (i.e. those that depend on a configuration option,
 * on a compiler, on an architecture, on plugins, on other attributes...)
 * should be defined elsewhere (e.g. compiler_types.h or compiler-*.h).
 * The intention is to keep this file as simple as possible, as well as
 * compiler- and version-agnostic (e.g. avoiding GCC_VERSION checks).
 *
 * This file is meant to be sorted (by actual attribute name,
 * not by #define identifier). Use the __attribute__((__name__)) syntax
 * (i.e. with underscores) to avoid future collisions with other macros.
 * Provide links to the documentation of each supported compiler, if it exists.
