    Attributes C++11 Attributes C++11 Attributes

    Basic Syntax

    [[attribute_name]]
    [[attribute_name(arguments…)]]
    [[attrib_namespace::attribute_name]]

    [[using attrib_namespace: attrib1, attrib2,…]]  C++17

    [[nodiscard]] C++17
    [[nodiscard("why")]]  C++20
    [[nodiscard("because...")]]
ReturnType function () { … }
auto x = function();  // 
function();  //  COMPILER WARNING because...
    enum [[nodiscard]] E { a, b };
E make_E() { return E::a; }
auto e = make_E();  // 
make_E();  //  COMPILER WARNING
    class [[nodiscard]] C { … }
C make_C() { return C{}; }
auto c = make_C();  // 
make_C();  //  COMPILER WARNING
    class A { [[nodiscard]] A (int) {…} … };
A a {1};  // 
A{0};     //  COMPILER WARNING

    encourages compilers to issue warnings if (return) values are discarded

    [[deprecated]]
    [[deprecated("why")]]

    C++14

    [[deprecated]] void old_function ();
namespace [[deprecated]] v1 { … }
using OldAlias [[deprecated]] = SomeType;
enum [[deprecated]] Enumeration {};
enum E { enumerator [[deprecated]],
         enumerator2 [[deprecated]] = 7 };
struct S { [[deprecated]] Member m_; };
class [[deprecated("use D instead")]] C { … }
template<typename T> class X;
template<> class X<double> {};
template<> class [[deprecated]] X<float> {};
    • indicates that an entity should no longer be used
    • compilers usually issue warnings on usage
    [[fallthrough]]

    C++17

    switch (expression) {
  case 1:  handleA();
  case 2:  [[fallthrough]];
  case 3:  handleB();
  default: handleC();
};
    • indicates that fall through from a previous case label is intentional and should not be diagnosed
    • can only be applied to a null statement
    [[likely]] [[unlikely]] [[likely]]

    C++20

    if (…) { [[likely]]
  …
} else { [[unlikely]]
  …
}
switch (…) {
  [[likely]]
  case 0: foo(); break; 
  case 1: bar(); break;
  [[unlikely]]
  case 2: baz(); break; 
}

    allows compilers to optimize for cases where the path of execution that includes a statement or label marked [[likely]] / [[unlikely]] is more/less likely

    [[maybe_unused]]

    C++17

    [[maybe_unused]] void function ();
using Alias [[maybe_unused]] = SomeType;
enum [[maybe_unused]] Enumeration {};
enum E { enumerator [[maybe_unused]],
         enumerator2 [[maybe_unused]] = 7 };
struct S { [[maybe_unused]] Member m_; };
class [[maybe_unused]] C { … }

    suppresses compiler diagnostics about unused functions, types or enumerators

    [[noreturn]]

    C++11

    [[noreturn]]
void always_throwing (…) {
  …  // no return statement!
  if (…) throw Exception_Type1{};
  …  // no return statement!
  throw Exception_Type2{};
} // never reached!
    • specifies that a function never returns, i.e., it always throws an exception
    • if [[noreturn]] function actually returns ⇒ undefined behavior
    [[no_unique_address]]

    C++20

    struct EmptyType {};
struct S {
    Type member1_;
    [[no_unique_address]]
    EmptyType member2_ {};
};
    • may be applied to non-static, non-bitfield members
    • indicates that a member need not have an address that is distinct from all other non-static data members
    • if a [[no_unique_address]] member is non-empty any trailing padding may be reused to store other members
    [[carries_dependency]]

    C++11

    Allows compilers to omit memory fences in release-consume memory order if a dependency chain propagates in or out of a function:

    void unknown_dependency (Type*);
void propagates (Type* [[carries_dependency]]);

std::atomic<Type*> atm;
Type* p = atm.load(std::memory_order_consume);
if (p) p->load();  // propagates
if (p) unknown_dependency (p); 
// compiler might introduce memory fence
// if function definition 'invisible'
if (p) propagates (p); 
// compiler can omit memory fence!

    specify that a parameter carries a dependency into a function/lambda: 

    void function (Param [[carries_dependency]] p) { … }
auto f = [](Param [[carries_dependency]] p) { … }

    specify that the return value carries a dependency out of the function:

    [[carries_dependency]]
ReturnType function (Param p) { … }
