extension like this.


That may well be the case, but the manner in which gcc barfed when
trying to use attributes on nested functions led us to believe that
their implementation isn't necessarily robust or well exercised anyway.

In the middle-end, nested functions are definitely well supported (and relied upon by the Ada compiler).

Can you expand further on the issues you encountered?
