+<h4 class="subsection">6.33.6 AVR Function Attributes</h4>
+
+<p>These function attributes are supported by the AVR back end:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dd><a name="index-interrupt-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>interrupt</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Use this attribute to indicate
+that the specified function is an interrupt handler. The compiler generates
+function entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler
+when this attribute is present.
+</p>
+<p>On the AVR, the hardware globally disables interrupts when an
+interrupt is executed. The first instruction of an interrupt handler
+declared with this attribute is a <code>SEI</code> instruction to
+re-enable interrupts. See also the <code>signal</code> function attribute
+that does not insert a <code>SEI</code> instruction. If both <code>signal</code> and
+<code>interrupt</code> are specified for the same function, <code>signal</code>
+is silently ignored.
+</p>
+<a name="index-naked-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>naked</code></dt>
+<dd><p>This attribute allows the compiler to construct the
+requisite function declaration, while allowing the body of the
+function to be assembly code. The specified function will not have
+prologue/epilogue sequences generated by the compiler. Only basic
+<code>asm</code> statements can safely be included in naked functions
+(see <a href="Basic-Asm.html#Basic-Asm">Basic Asm</a>). While using extended <code>asm</code> or a mixture of
+basic <code>asm</code> and C code may appear to work, they cannot be
+depended upon to work reliably and are not supported.
+</p>
+<a name="index-no_005fgccisr-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>no_gccisr</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Do not use <code>__gcc_isr</code> pseudo instructions in a function with
+the <code>interrupt</code> or <code>signal</code> attribute aka. interrupt
+service routine (ISR).
+Use this attribute if the preamble of the ISR prologue should always read
+</p><div class="example">
+<pre class="example">push __zero_reg__
+push __tmp_reg__
+in __tmp_reg__, __SREG__
+push __tmp_reg__
+clr __zero_reg__
+</pre></div>
+<p>and accordingly for the postamble of the epilogue &mdash; no matter whether
+the mentioned registers are actually used in the ISR or not.
+Situations where you might want to use this attribute include:
+</p><ul>
+<li> Code that (effectively) clobbers bits of <code>SREG</code> other than the
+<code>I</code>-flag by writing to the memory location of <code>SREG</code>.
+</li><li> Code that uses inline assembler to jump to a different function which
+expects (parts of) the prologue code as outlined above to be present.
+</li></ul>
+<p>To disable <code>__gcc_isr</code> generation for the whole compilation unit,
+there is option <samp>-mno-gas-isr-prologues</samp>, see <a href="AVR-Options.html#AVR-Options">AVR Options</a>.
+</p>
+<a name="index-OS_005fmain-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+<a name="index-OS_005ftask-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>OS_main</code></dt>
+<dt><code>OS_task</code></dt>
+<dd><p>On AVR, functions with the <code>OS_main</code> or <code>OS_task</code> attribute
+do not save/restore any call-saved register in their prologue/epilogue.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>OS_main</code> attribute can be used when there <em>is
+guarantee</em> that interrupts are disabled at the time when the function
+is entered. This saves resources when the stack pointer has to be
+changed to set up a frame for local variables.
+</p>
+<p>The <code>OS_task</code> attribute can be used when there is <em>no
+guarantee</em> that interrupts are disabled at that time when the function
+is entered like for, e.g. task functions in a multi-threading operating
+system. In that case, changing the stack pointer register is
+guarded by save/clear/restore of the global interrupt enable flag.
+</p>
+<p>The differences to the <code>naked</code> function attribute are:
+</p><ul>
+<li> <code>naked</code> functions do not have a return instruction whereas
+<code>OS_main</code> and <code>OS_task</code> functions have a <code>RET</code> or
+<code>RETI</code> return instruction.
+</li><li> <code>naked</code> functions do not set up a frame for local variables
+or a frame pointer whereas <code>OS_main</code> and <code>OS_task</code> do this
+as needed.
+</li></ul>
+
+<a name="index-signal-function-attribute_002c-AVR"></a>
+</dd>
+<dt><code>signal</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Use this attribute on the AVR to indicate that the specified
+function is an interrupt handler. The compiler generates function
+entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler when this
+attribute is present.
+</p>
+<p>See also the <code>interrupt</code> function attribute.
+</p>
+<p>The AVR hardware globally disables interrupts when an interrupt is executed.
+Interrupt handler functions defined with the <code>signal</code> attribute
+do not re-enable interrupts. It is save to enable interrupts in a
+<code>signal</code> handler. This &ldquo;save&rdquo; only applies to the code
+generated by the compiler and not to the IRQ layout of the
+application which is responsibility of the application.
+</p>
+<p>If both <code>signal</code> and <code>interrupt</code> are specified for the same
+function, <code>signal</code> is silently ignored.
