[PATCH v7 3/8] Compiler Attributes: Add __overloadable for Clang

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Feb 08 2022 - 17:54:06 EST


In order for FORTIFY_SOURCE to use __pass_object_size on an "extern
inline" function, as all the fortified string functions are, the functions
must be marked as being overloadable (i.e. different prototypes due
to the implicitly injected object size arguments). This allows the
__pass_object_size versions to take precedence.
