aaron.ballman added inline comments.

================
Comment at: clang/lib/Sema/SemaDecl.cpp:9508-9510
+  // FIXME: We should really be doing this in SemaDeclAttr.cpp::handleNoBuiltin
+  // but there is a bug with FunctionDecl::isThisDeclarationADefinition() which
+  // always returns false before Sema::ActOnStartOfFunctionDef is called.

Ah, good to know! We're in agreement on how this should proceed, thank you for 
the insights.
