gcc specific attributes are used in the benchmarks #73

Open kjetilos opened 4 years ago

The benchmark code is using gcc specific attributes to mark unused parameters and function to not inline. Using gcc specific attributes will make the benchmark harder to port to non-gcc based compilers. This was seen when building the benchmarks with the IAR compiler. The IAR compiler has a way to enable gcc extensions, however it would be nice if the benchmark could build on any standard c compiler.

Hi Kjetil,

Thanks for this, we'll sweep this up when we fix issue #72.
