This change replaces the __attribute__ syntax with the now standard [[]] syntax. It also reorganizes compiler.hh so that all special macros have some explanatory text saying what they do, and each attribute which has a standard version can use that if available and what version of c++ it's standard in is put in a comment. Also, the requirements as far as where you put [[]] style attributes are a little more strict than the old school __attribute__ style. The use of the attribute macros was updated to fit these new, more strict requirements.
