[PATCH v3 7/7] Mark functions with the __unverified_nocapture attribute

From: Emese Revfy
Date: Tue Jul 26 2016 - 16:25:10 EST


This attribute disables the compile data flow verification of the
designated nocapture parameters of the function. Use it only on function
parameters that are difficult for the plugin to analyze.
