Hi,
We were able to make it work by calling:
```
decl_attributes (&fndecl, fn_attributes, 0);
```
We used to set the attributes directly in `fndecl` using equivalents of:
```
DECL_ATTRIBUTES (fndecl) =
tree_cons (ident, attribute_value, DECL_ATTRIBUTES (fndecl));
```
We now store inside `fn_attributes` using:
```
fn_attributes = tree_cons (ident, attribute_value, fn_attributes);
```
Like this, the function attributes seem to be correctly set and the
optimization is triggered as expected when using the `nonnull`
attribute.
I think with this it's all good. If you see something we did wrong,
please don't hesitate to tell us.
