My assumption is that the problematic cases (live ranges of local
variables) are already handled in both the caller and the callee by
appropiate use of volatile. This should be ensured by the pre-existing
returns_twice attribute. I don't want to auto-attribute functions with
it (which would allow more aggressive inlining), since that would
require such changes when the user doesn't expect it. Am I wrong?
