[Doxygen-develop] [PATCH] handling gcc attributes

[<de...@vt...>]

The following patch allows doxygen to process C code which contains GCC 
attributes.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.2/gcc/Attribute-Syntax.html#Attribute-Syntax

Symptom: Doxygen gets confused when trying to process C code that 
contains attributes, it usually throws off the parser causing 
everything from the start of the first attribute to the end of the file 
to be mis-processed.

Cause: The scanner doesn't know to look for attributes.
