Complete Modern C++ - Attributes

The video tutorial discusses the use of attributes in C programming, focusing on their role in providing additional information to the compiler for optimization and checks. It highlights the transition from vendor-specific keywords to standardized attributes introduced in C-11, C-14, and C-17. The tutorial provides examples of the deprecated and no discard attributes, explaining their usage and effects on code compilation. The deprecated attribute is used to discourage the use of outdated functions or classes, while the no discard attribute helps prevent memory leaks by ensuring return values are stored. The video concludes with a brief overview of C-17 attributes.
