Hmm, thinking about this now I'm not sure it solves problems like this:

```
foo() -> bar() -> moo() -> foo()
```

or

```
boo() -> foo() -> bar() -> moo() -> boo()
```

where effectively foo() is recursive despite foo() not directly calling itself? I think the previous version of your patch solved this problem, although @nikic mentioned FunctionAttrs probably isn't the right place for deeper inspection. For a full analysis I think you still need to inspect the call graph. I'm not sure how useful this is, but you could check that all functions called by `foo()` don't make any function calls themselves? I don't know if this is a quick and easy check, or whether it's just as computationally expensive as your previous version?
