Hi
Given that GNU attributes are not part of the standard..

I wonder if the following is expected to work?

__attribute__((__deprecated__))
extern "C" __attribute__((__visibility__("default")))
void foo ()
{

}

t.C:3:8: error: expected unqualified-id before string constant
     3 | extern "C" __attribute__((__visibility__("default")))


I don't see why it should be will-formed.  'extern "C"' is a linkage 
specification, which precedes (or encloses) a declaration.  It is not 
storage-specified with an attached string constant.
