/** \file
 *  \brief AVR-GCC special function/variable attribute macros.
 *
 *  This file contains macros for applying GCC specific attributes to functions and variables to control various
 *  optimizer and code generation features of the compiler. Attributes may be placed in the function prototype 
 *  or variable declaration in any order, and multiple attributes can be specified for a single item via a space
 *  separated list.
 *
 *  On incompatible versions of GCC or on other compilers, these macros evaluate to nothing unless they are
 *  critical to the code's function and thus must throw a compiler error when used.
 *
 *  \note Do not include this file directly, rather include the Common.h header file instead to gain this file's
 *        functionality.
