[Bug tree-optimization/18487] New: Warnings for pure and const functions that are not actually pure or const

[kazu at cs dot umass dot edu]

It would be nice if GCC can issue warnings for pure or const functions
that are not actually pure or const.

int foo (int) __attribute__ ((pure));
int bar (int) __attribute__ ((const));

int g;

int
foo (int a)
{
  g = a; /* A pure function is not supposed to write to memory.  */
  return 0;
}

int
bar (int a)
{
  return g; /* A const function is not supposed to read memory.  */
}
