Just FYI, a workaround for this is to make attributes conditionally
disappear in the preprocessor.  I usually do that anyway since I want
to avoid tying code to gcc:


#if defined ( __GNUC__ )
#define FUNC_MALLOC() __attribute__((__malloc__))
#else
#define FUNC_MALLOC()
#endif


extern void * foo(int,int) FUNC_MALLOC();


Doxygen still doesn't like seeing that FUNC_MALLOC() there.  That's
fixed by telling the Doxygen config to remove it during preprocessing:

PREDEFINED = \
  "FUNC_MALLOC()="
