     and on function declarations and definitions.
+``nocallback``
+    This attribute indicates that the function is only allowed to jump back into
+    caller's module by a return or an exception, and is not allowed to jump back
+    by invoking a callback function, a direct, possibly transitive, external
+    function call, use of ``longjmp``, or other means. It is a compiler hint that

 ``noduplicate``
     This attribute indicates that calls to the function cannot be
     duplicated. A call to a ``noduplicate`` function may be moved
