From 0fec7a3cee1cf8e4f86ff563d229408ccbdc2d66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrii Nakryiko Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 11:13:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Suppress compiler warning when using SEC() macro with externs When used on externs SEC() macro will trigger compilation warning about inapplicable `__attribute__((used))`. That's expected for extern declarations, so suppress it with the corresponding _Pragma.
