[cfe-dev] no capture

[shreyas krishnan]

Thanks Anton..

Can I enforce this from C source ?
__attribute__(( nocaptue )) gets ignored by clang.

My goal is I would like some of the parameters to be directly passed
as arguments instead of through the stack. Is there a source level way
to do it ?

thanks
