+/** \file
+ * \brief AVR-GCC special function/variable attribute macros.
+ *
+ * This file contains macros for applying GCC specific attributes to functions and variables to control various
+ * optimiser and code generation features of the compiler. Attributes may be placed in the function prototype
+ * or variable declaration in any order, and multiple attributes can be specified for a single item via a space
+ * separated list.
+ *
+ * On incompatible versions of GCC or on other compilers, these macros evaluate to nothing unless they are
+ * critical to the code's function and thus must throw a compiler error when used.
+ *
+ * \note Do not include this file directly, rather include the Common.h header file instead to gain this file's
+ * functionality.
