[cfe-dev] [PROPOSAL] per-function optimization level control

Have you looked at "Noise", presented at this year's European LLVM Conference?

| Noise is a language extension that allows a programmer to create custom optimization
| strategies and apply them to specific code segments. This enables fine-grained control
| over the optimizations applied by the compiler to conveniently tune code without
| actually rewriting it.

This seems to go into the same direction as your proposal. It's not yet open source,
but it's planned: <http://www.cdl.uni-saarland.de/projects/noise/>
