I'm having trouble with declaring a function-pointer with an '__attribute__'.
This is what I have:

extern int (*__printf) (const char *fmt, ...)
#ifdef __GNUC__
  __attribute__((format(printf,1,2)))
#endif
;

Where '__printf' points to either a stdio or a conio-type function.

But gcc 2.95.2 doesn't seem to allow such '__attribute__' for a pointer;

 "argument format specified for non-function `__printf'"

Any idea how this can be fixed?
