I'm trying to see the warning. What option makes clang trigger a warning on
this?

>From user space, I'm just using the following file:

#include <stdio.h>

void my_direct_func(char *str)
{
	printf("%s\n", str);
}

int test(char *str);

asm (
"	.pushsection    .text, \"ax\", @progbits\n"
"	.type		test, @function\n"
"   test:"
"	pushq %rbp\n"
"	movq %rsp, %rbp\n"
"	pushq %rdi\n"
"	call my_direct_func\n"
"	popq %rdi\n"
"	leave\n"
"	ret\n"
"	.size		test, .-test\n"
"	.popsection\n"
);

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	test("hello");
	return 0;
}
