Here's the patch to disable __counted_by for clang < 19.1.3. I'll submit
it properly when your PR is merged. I hope I got all the correct tags in
there as there were multiple reports of these issues. Let me know if
anything should be added, I'm new to the process.

Subject: [PATCH] Compiler Attributes: disable __counted_by for clang < 19.1.3

This patch disables __counted_by for clang versions < 19.1.3 because of
two issues.

1. clang versions < 19.1.2 have a bug that can lead to __bdos returning 0:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/110497

2. clang versions < 19.1.3 have a bug that can lead to __bdos being off by 4:
