``readonly`` or a ``memory`` attribute that does not contain
``argmem: write``.
+``initialized((Lo1,Hi1),...)``
+ This attribute indicates that the function initializes the ranges of the
+ pointer parameter's memory, [%p+LoN, %p+HiN): there are no reads, and no
+ special accesses (such as volatile access or untrackable capture) before
+ the initialization write in the function.
+
+ This attribute implies that the function initializes and does not read
+ before initialization through this pointer argument, even though it may
+ read the memory before initialization that the pointer points to, such
+ as through other arguments.
+
+ Note that this attribute does not apply to the unwind edge: the
+ initializing function does not read the pointer before writing to it
+ regardless of unwinding or not, but the memory may not actually be
+ written to when unwinding happens.
+
+ The ``writable`` or ``dereferenceable`` attribute does not imply the
+ ``initialized`` attribute, and ``initialized`` does not imply ``writeonly``
+ since ``initialized`` allows reading from the pointer after writing.

+ This attribute is a list of const ranges in ascending order with no
