that's not true, AFAICT. the pattern seems to be that, in the case of
declarations, attributes go at the end, as in:
arch/sparc/boot/btfixupprep.c:void fatal(void) __attribute__((noreturn));
while in actual definitions, they typically go after the return type,
as in arch/arm/kernel/traps.c:
void __attribute__((noreturn)) __bug(const char *file, int line)
{
printk(KERN_CRIT"kernel BUG at %s:%d!\n", file, line);
*(int *)0 = 0;
/* Avoid "noreturn function does return" */
for (;;);
}
is that the standard that most people use? if it is, i can use that
standard for the cleanup.
