+ The ``lifetime_capture_by(X)`` attribute on a function parameter or implicit object
+parameter indicates that references to arguments passed to such parameters may be
+captured by the capturing entity ``X``.
+
+The capturing entity ``X`` can be one of the following:
+- Another (named) function parameter.
+
+ .. code-block:: c++
+
+ void addToSet(std::string_view a [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(s)]], std::set<std::string_view>& s) {
+ s.insert(a);
+ }
+
+- ``this`` (in case of member functions).
+
+ .. code-block:: c++
+
+ class S {
+ void addToSet(std::string_view a [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(this)]]) {
+ s.insert(a);
+ }
+ std::set<std::string_view> s;
+ };
+
+- 'global', 'unknown' (without quotes).
+
+ .. code-block:: c++
+
+ std::set<std::string_view> s;
+ void addToSet(std::string_view a [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(global)]]) {
+ s.insert(a);
+ }
+ void addSomewhere(std::string_view a [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(unknown)]]);
+
+The attribute can be applied to the implicit ``this`` parameter of a member
+function by writing the attribute after the function type:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ struct S {
+ const char *data(std::set<S*>& s) [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(s)]] {
+ s.insert(this);
+ }
+ };
+
+The attribute supports specifying more than one capturing entities:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ void addToSets(std::string_view a [[clang::lifetime_capture_by(s1, s2)]],
+ std::set<std::string_view>& s1,
+ std::set<std::string_view>& s2) {
+ s1.insert(a);
+ s2.insert(a);
+ }
+
+.. _`lifetimebound`: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#lifetimebound
