* GCC2 uses a new, peculiar __attribute__((attrs)) style. All of
* these work for GNU C++ (modulo a slight glitch in the C++ grammar
* in the distribution version of 2.5.5).
*
* GCC defines a pure function as depending only on its arguments and
* global variables. Typical examples are strlen and sqrt.
*
* GCC defines a const function as depending only on its arguments.
* Therefore calling a const function again with identical arguments
* will always produce the same result.
*
* Rounding modes for floating point operations are considered global
* variables and prevent sqrt from being a const function.
*
* Calls to const functions can be optimised away and moved around
* without limitations.
