It would be beneficial to allow not_tail_called attribute to be applied to
virtual functions. I don't see any drawback of allowing this.

This attribute is used to prevent tail-call optimizations to the marked
function. For example, in the following piece of code, foo1 will not be
tail-call optimized:
int __attribute__((not_tail_called)) foo1(int);
int foo2(int a) {
return foo1(a); // Tail-call optimization is not performed.
}
The attribute has effect only on statically bound calls. It has no
effect on indirect calls. Also, virtual functions and objective-c
methods cannot be marked as 'not_tail_called'.
