Shouldn't we minimally aim at consistency here: - all attributes in a one place (I personally prefer the placement between type and name, for compatibility with other compilers, but there are rare cases - iirc not on declarations though - where gcc doesn't allow this) - not using open coded __attribute__(()) when a definition (here: __weak) is available, or alternatively open coding all of them (__attribute__((weak, ...)))?
