     Compiler error C2217
 
     'attribute1' must be used with 'attribute2'
 
     The first function attribute requires the second attribute to be
     used.
 
     Some causes for this error include
 
        ■ An interrupt function explicitly declared as near. Interrupt
          functions must be far.
 
        ■ An interrupt function or a function with a variable number of
          arguments, when that function is declared with the _fortran,
          _pascal, or _fastcall attribute. Functions declared with the
          _interrupt attribute or with a variable number of arguments
          must use the C calling conventions. Remove the _fortran,
          _pascal, or _fastcall attribute from the function
          declaration.
