The patch below is required to avoid xlc-11.1 on Linux/ppc64 from
issuing lots of warnings:
"[srcdir]/hwloc-trunk/include/hwloc.h", line 1245.34: 1506-1385 (W) The
attribute "pure" is not a valid type attribute.
The problem appears to be that when the function returns a pointer type,
XLC thinks the attribute is being applied to the return type rather than
the function. That is why no other instances of __hwloc_attribute_pure
need to be reordered.
I am not sure of the risk/reward on applying this change, however.
Gcc seems to be happy enough either way as far as I could tell.
