Bug Description

Fonction attributes may be used to declare a function "const" or declare that some arguments cannot be null. This could improve code clarity and help finding some problems. This could also be useful for the deprecated part of the public API of the library .

See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html for the possible attributes. The "const", "nonnull(indexes)", "deprecated(msg)", "format(...)", "noreturn", "pure", "visibility" and "warn_unused_result" attributes seem interesting.

Be careful however not to become incompatible with other compilers (see bug #799205 and bug #799206).
