[llvm-dev] [RFC] `opt-out` attribute list for intrinsics

[Stefan Stipanovic via llvm-dev]

[Update]

I've created https://reviews.llvm.org/D86021 which makes nofree, nosync and
willreturn default attributes for intrinsics. I've also opted out of
default attributes for some target independent intrinsics.

Please feel free to comment on the review.

Thanks,
Stefan
