// short description of attributes defined:
//
// __ATTR__FORMAT(p)   used for printf-like functions. 'p' is the position of the format string, args follow directly
// __ATTR__VFORMAT(p)  used for vprintf-like functions. 'p' is the position of the format string, args are NOT checked
// __ATTR__SENTINEL    used for function that expect a parameter list terminated by NULp
// __ATTR__NORETURN    used for functions which do NEVER return
// __ATTR__DEPRECATED  used for deprecated functions (useful for redesign)
// __ATTR__USERESULT   warn if result of function is unused
//
// __ATTR__FORMAT_MEMBER(p)     same as __ATTR__FORMAT for member functions
// __ATTR__VFORMAT_MEMBER(p)    same as __ATTR__VFORMAT for member functions
