The use of sizeof_function() would be to calculate during compile the size of a
function's text segment. One may want to copy that function during runtime and
create multiple copies of it (e.g. create new functions based on a template).

I am not sure what needs to happen on the case that a function has multiple
entry points. Any C function you compile will result into a text segment. I
don't see where the multiple entrypoints are. It may be called from different
other functions, but that doesn't matter. I don't think I understand what you mean.

Please read the thread.
