- Warn about trampolines generated for pointers to nested functions.
-
- A trampoline is a small piece of data or code that is created at run
- time on the stack when the address of a nested function is taken, and
- is used to call the nested function indirectly.  For some targets, it
- is made up of data only and thus requires no special treatment.  But,
- for most targets, it is made up of code and thus requires the stack
- to be made executable in order for the program to work properly.
