>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	GNU C >= 2.6

>Description:

	The cflow(1) parser does not understand the GNU C __attribute__
	syntax.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run cflow(1) on source that uses the __attribute__ syntax
	-- e.g., include <sys/cdefs.h>

>Fix:
	
	In the cflow shell script, change the preprocessor
	command line from "cc -E" to "cc -E -D__attribute__(x)="
	This strips both function and variable attributes from the
	input and makes the cflow(1) parser happy.
