+<h4 class="subsection">6.2.1 ATTRIBUTES directive</h4>
+
+<p>The Fortran standard describes how a conforming program shall
+behave; however, the exact implementation is not standardized. In order
+to allow the user to choose specific implementation details, compiler
+directives can be used to set attributes of variables and procedures
+which are not part of the standard. Whether a given attribute is
+supported and its exact effects depend on both the operating system and
+on the processor; see
+<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/index.html#Top">C Extensions</a> in <cite>Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)</cite>
+for details.
+</p>
+<p>For procedures and procedure pointers, the following attributes can
+be used to change the calling convention:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> <code>CDECL</code> &ndash; standard C calling convention
+</li><li> <code>STDCALL</code> &ndash; convention where the called procedure pops the stack
+</li><li> <code>FASTCALL</code> &ndash; part of the arguments are passed via registers
+instead using the stack
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>Besides changing the calling convention, the attributes also influence
+the decoration of the symbol name, e.g., by a leading underscore or by
+a trailing at-sign followed by the number of bytes on the stack. When
+assigning a procedure to a procedure pointer, both should use the same
+calling convention.
+</p>
+<p>On some systems, procedures and global variables (module variables and
+<code>COMMON</code> blocks) need special handling to be accessible when they
+are in a shared library. The following attributes are available:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> <code>DLLEXPORT</code> &ndash; provide a global pointer to a pointer in the DLL
+</li><li> <code>DLLIMPORT</code> &ndash; reference the function or variable using a
+global pointer
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>For dummy arguments, the <code>NO_ARG_CHECK</code> attribute can be used; in
+other compilers, it is also known as <code>IGNORE_TKR</code>. For dummy arguments
+with this attribute actual arguments of any type and kind (similar to
+<code>TYPE(*)</code>), scalars and arrays of any rank (no equivalent
+in Fortran standard) are accepted. As with <code>TYPE(*)</code>, the argument
+is unlimited polymorphic and no type information is available.
+Additionally, the argument may only be passed to dummy arguments
+with the <code>NO_ARG_CHECK</code> attribute and as argument to the
+<code>PRESENT</code> intrinsic function and to <code>C_LOC</code> of the
+<code>ISO_C_BINDING</code> module.
+</p>
+<p>Variables with <code>NO_ARG_CHECK</code> attribute shall be of assumed-type
+(<code>TYPE(*)</code>; recommended) or of type <code>INTEGER</code>, <code>LOGICAL</code>,
+<code>REAL</code> or <code>COMPLEX</code>. They shall not have the <code>ALLOCATE</code>,
+<code>CODIMENSION</code>, <code>INTENT(OUT)</code>, <code>POINTER</code> or <code>VALUE</code>
+attribute; furthermore, they shall be either scalar or of assumed-size
+(<code>dimension(*)</code>). As <code>TYPE(*)</code>, the <code>NO_ARG_CHECK</code> attribute
+requires an explicit interface.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> <code>NO_ARG_CHECK</code> &ndash; disable the type, kind and rank checking
+</li><li> <code>DEPRECATED</code> &ndash; print a warning when using a such-tagged
+deprecated procedure, variable or parameter; the warning can be suppressed
+with <samp>-Wno-deprecated-declarations</samp>.
+</li><li> <code>NOINLINE</code> &ndash; prevent inlining given function.
+</li><li> <code>NORETURN</code> &ndash; add a hint that a given function cannot return.
+</li><li> <code>WEAK</code> &ndash; emit the declaration of an external symbol as a weak
+symbol rather than a global. This is primarily useful in defining library
+functions that can be overridden in user code, though it can also be used with
+non-function declarations. The overriding symbol must have the same type as
+the weak symbol.
+</li></ul>
+
+
+<p>The attributes are specified using the syntax
+</p>
+<p><code>!GCC$ ATTRIBUTES</code> <var>attribute-list</var> <code>::</code> <var>variable-list</var>
+</p>
+<p>where in free-form source code only whitespace is allowed before <code>!GCC$</code>
+and in fixed-form source code <code>!GCC$</code>, <code>cGCC$</code> or <code>*GCC$</code> shall
+start in the first column.
+</p>
+<p>For procedures, the compiler directives shall be placed into the body
+of the procedure; for variables and procedure pointers, they shall be in
+the same declaration part as the variable or procedure pointer.
+</p>
