    I had looked in the info pages for gcc, and I did find that, but the way I
posted it was the only way it didn't get a parse error.  Here is a program I
tried just now.  And the output from gcc.

int main(int argc __attribute__((unused)), char** argv)
{
 return 0;
 }
 b.cc(1) Error: parse error before `__attribute__'
 In function `int main(...)':
 b.cc(4) Error: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
 There were some errors

I'm using gcc v2.8.1
