+@item musttail
+
+The @code{gnu::musttail} or @code{clang::musttail} attribute
+can be applied to a return statement that returns the value
+of a call to indicate that the call must be a tail call
+that does not allocate extra stack space.

+@smallexample
+[[gnu::musttail]] return foo();
+@end smallexample
+
+If the compiler cannot generate a tail call it will generate
+an error. Tail calls generally require enabling optimization.
+On some targets they may not be supported.
