Yes. GCC's attribute syntax is weird and underdocumented, but it doesn't behave
like cv-qualifiers in this context.

You should ask the GCC folks this question; we didn't invent the syntax and
semantics here and weren't involved in its design. We just try to be compatible
with how GCC behaves.

Here's what the [GCC
documentation](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.0/gcc/Attribute-Syntax.html)
has to say on this:

"Any list of specifiers and qualifiers at the start of a declaration may
contain attribute specifiers[...]. All attribute specifiers in this place
relate to the declaration as a whole."
