I found the case. A virtual inheritance triggers to emit sub-tables.

In that case, I feel odd if adding the attribute to `normal_fn` affects the vtable generator routine, even if the result is not changed. The assumption includes non-virtual functions looks too strong for me.
As this attribute is an extension, so I'd prefer to minimize the areas affected by the attribute.
