Adding a __GNUC__ condition would make it more portable.  I like this
style of annotations and they are useful for other code as well.
libgpg-error is used by all GnuPG code and thus it might be useful to
add this annotation macros to gpg-error.h.

In GnuPG we have a register_mem_cleanup_func to run free with atexit but
that is not appropriate for a library.  I think such annotations are a
better way.


Salam-Shalom,
