[PATCH 1/3] tools compiler.h: Add attribute to disable tail calls
From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat May 30 2020 - 04:20:40 EST
Tail call optimizations can remove stack frames that are used in
unwinding tests. Add an attribute that can be used to disable the tail
call optimization. Tested on clang and GCC.
