Oh i didn't think about that one. Certainly from the looks of the code in LLVM, we would generate a stack protector for large buffers used by NRVO.
I suspect we would want to allow this attribute in the NRVO case too, assuming that we can effectively trust/audit that writes to the given buffer are in range (maybe they are if the only one writing the buffer is compiler generated code not user written code?).
Either way, i don't have too strong an opinion. @ahatanak what do you think? Could also punt NRVO until later if that helps?
