+* ``-dfsan-reaches-function-callbacks`` -- An experimental feature that inserts

+  In addition to this compilation flag, a callback handler must be registered
+  using ``dfsan_set_reaches_function_callback(my_callback);``, where my_callback is
+  a function with a signature matching
+  ``void my_callback(dfsan_label label, dfsan_origin origin,

+  This signature is the same when origin tracking is disabled - in this case
+  the dfsan_origin passed in it will always be 0.
+
+  The callback will be called when a tained value reach stack/registers
+  in the context of a function. Tainted values can reach a function:
+    * via the arguments of the function
+    * via the return value of a call that occurs in the function
+    * via the loaded value of a load that occurs in the function
+
+  The callback will be skipped for conditional expressions inside signal
+  handlers, as this is prone to deadlock. Tainted values reaching functions
+  inside signal handlers will instead be aggregated via bitwise or, and can
+  be accessed using
