Indeed, __has_attribute(__retain__) returns true, while the attribute is not supported. My test program: cat > /tmp/a.c <<EOF #if __has_attribute(__retain__) #warning __retain__ OK #else #warning No __retain__ #endif int x __attribute__((__retain__)); EOF $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-11 -c /tmp/a.c # gcc version 11.4.0 (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04)) /tmp/a.c:2:2: warning: #warning __retain__ OK [-Wcpp] 2 | #warning __retain__ OK | ^~~~~~~ /tmp/a.c:7:1: warning: ‘retain’ attribute ignored [-Wattributes] 7 | int x __attribute__((__retain__)); | ^~~ Oops $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-12 -c /tmp/a.c # gcc version 12.3.0 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) /tmp/a.c:2:2: warning: #warning __retain__ OK [-Wcpp] 2 | #warning __retain__ OK | ^~~~~~~ Fixed It works fine with the native gcc-11: $ gcc-11 -c /tmp/a.c # gcc version 11.4.0 (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) /tmp/a.c:2:2: warning: #warning __retain__ OK [-Wcpp] 2 | #warning __retain__ OK | ^~~~~~~ I gave it a try on all installed gcc-11 compilers. /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/alpha-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-11 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-11 /usr/bin/hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/hppa-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/m68k-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/s390x-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/sh4-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-11 /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnux32-gcc-11 All of them failed (incl. x32), except for the native x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-11. It works fine with all installed gcc-12 compilers (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-12, m68k-linux-gnu-gcc-12, x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12). With gcc-9, the absence of __retain__ is detected correctly.
