• __declspec(do_not_merge)
  Specifies that a function must not be removed from object code during code merging optimization.
• __declspec(final)
  Provides Java-style function override checking.
• __declspec(force_export)
  Specifies that a function or variable must not be dead-stripped.
• __declspec(interrupt)
  Controls the compilation of object code for interrupt service routines.
• __declspec(no_linker_opts)
  Specifies that the linker must not apply its optimizations to a function.
• __declspec(section name)
  Specifies where to store a variable or function in a section that has been predefined or defined with the #pragma section directive.
• __declspec(vle_off)
  Forces the compiler to use the regular instruction set instead of the Variable Length Encoded (VLE) instruction set.
• __declspec(vle_on)
  Forces the compiler to use the VLE (Variable Length Encoded) instruction set for a function.
• __declspec(weak)
  Makes a global code or data deinition "weak", so that it can be replaced by another definition, in another translation unit.
