function attributes on function pointers

hi all,

is there a way to use function attributes on function pointers?

my program uses a function table for a plugin interface, which includes a 
function to allocate memory:

void* (*myAlloc)(Host * myHost, size_t size);

is it possible to use the malloc attribute for this to help the optimizer? i was 
trying something like:
void* __attribute__ ((malloc))(*myAlloc)(Host * myHost, size_t size);

... but the attribute will be ignored ...

thanks, tim
