I would like to combine the two approaches. Ie use your notes for properties that need to be examined at run-time (specifically the loader, although I imagine that the application itself might be interested in reading its own notes). Plus use the note scheme I am proposing for static analysis tools. I am currently using a gcc plugin to generate the notes, and I think that this should be extendable to generate your notes as well. (Using a plugin is advantageous in that it is not tied to the latest gcc release. It can be built to run with older gcc's, and it can be updated independently of the gcc release cycle). What do you think ?
