+## Added support for GCC's `null_terminated_string_arg` function attribute

+You can now check if a compiler support the `null_terminated_string_arg`
+function attribute via the `has_function_attribute()` method on the
+[[@compiler]] object.
+
+```meson
+cc = meson.get_compiler('c')
+
+if cc.has_function_attribute('null_terminated_string_arg')
+  # We have it...
