[v3,7/7] Mark functions with the __unverified_nocapture attribute

Commit Message

Emese Revfy July 26, 2016, 8:43 p.m. UTC

This attribute disables the compile data flow verification of the
designated nocapture parameters of the function. Use it only on function
parameters that are difficult for the plugin to analyze.
