It was designed for use in GNU Checker.

AFAIK nothing else uses this feature (although there are _many_
possibilities).
Beware that the compiler currently generates many spurious calls with
this flag. This is only a performance issue, though. There's a patch
which fixes this at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1999-10/msg00600.html .

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1999-10/msg00539.html has a few
inaccuracies, but it's close.
