@nikic I was running some additional tests based on the example you suggested.
I might be mistaken, but it seems there’s an issue when compiling the test below (with and without this PR) using **-flto** and C++ as the source language.
The function `norecurse_fn()` gets internalized, and as a result, _ReversePostOrderFunctionAttrsPass_ marks it as `norecurse`. This, in turn, causes function` a` to also be marked as `norecurse`.
I think the reason for this is `main()` being marked as `norecurse` and `norecurse_fn` getting internalized during **-flto**. If one of these conditions is removed, `a` and `norecurse_fn` does get `norecurse`. (Used same program in C mode to avoid main getting norecurse)
```
extern void calls_norecurse();
__attribute__((noinline))
static void a(int c) {
if (c) {
calls_norecurse();
}
}
__attribute__((noinline))
void norecurse_fn() {
a(0);
}
__attribute__((noinline))
int foo1() {
norecurse_fn();
a(1);
return 1;
}
int main() {
int ret = foo1();
return ret;
}
```
