The syntax 'sub foo :attributes ($signature) { ... }' is awful. It should be 'sub foo($signature) :attributes { ... }'. (This might be a candidate for bug #121481.)
Why? Because syntactically the signature replaces what used to be the prototype, and that comes before attributes. It's also what all signature modules on CPAN implement.
It's also what perl itself does in C. :-)
OP* Perl_newDEFSVOP(pTHX) __attribute__((warn_unused_result));
not
OP* Perl_newDEFSVOP __attribute__((warn_unused_result)) (pTHX);
(I have no idea if that would even parse.)
