oren_ben_simhon marked 2 inline comments as done.
oren_ben_simhon added a comment.

I added a comment ignoring nocf_check attribute in case -fcf-protection is not 
set.
Now LLVM is identical to GCC.



================
Comment at: test/Sema/attr-nocf_check.c:18-20
+  FuncPointerWithNoCfCheck fNoCfCheck = f; // no-warning
+  (*fNoCfCheck)();                       // no-warning
+  f = fNoCfCheck;                        // no-warning

Indeed the difference is C++ Vs C. I added a new test that checks for C++ as 
well.
